IMO, he has a job for life at OSU. NFL, you're here today, gone tomorrow.

Wonder how much the University Michigan is kicking in on this contract to get Urbie out of Columbus?

Probably about the same as PSU. It's a group effort.

That money trail leads all the way to Tuscaloosa!

 

[91Joe95]

Do the Browns seriously think they can outbid osu?

Who wants to work when they can retire earlier with twice as much money?

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Ha! If losing in college football gave him a heart attack, then imagine how his health would deteriorate when he has to try to win with the big boys (in Cleveland no less)!!!

I guess that would depend upon what guarantees and protections are built into the most lucrative contract ever offered in the NFL, wouldn't it? If the offer a cotract where all of the optionality resides with Clevland ownership and 100% of LT risk resides with UM, than it's not the most lucrative contract ever offered in NFL history imho.

 

[step.eng69]

If Urbie truly has had some heart tribulations in the past, Johnny football should do him in.

“God told me that you (Johnny) should explore other football neighborhoods.”

With Urban, a heading coach stint lasts between 2 (Bowling Green, Utah) to 6 years (Florida). This marks season four at OSU. He isn't one that is worried about a job for life as much as he is with moving onto the next "challenge". He can build a program quicker than most, but doesn't stick around to sustain it.

Tebow to the Browns??

Ask the Skins how Steve Spurrier worked out. Urban's a great coach but NFL would chew him up and spit him out.

That would be great.

 

[LaJolla Lion]

If you are a Buckeye and member of the dawg pound, how do you take this? Are you pissed or happy? Does JT head back there?

 

[bmw199]

it certainly wouldn't hurt us if both Urbs and Harbaugh left for the NFL this offseason...

I don't see JH bailing after one year. Funnier things have happened, but I just don't see it.

 

[pandaczar12]

Nope, OSU would be super happy about this. Then they could go for future coaching hall of famer Pat Narduzzi. He's already done the impossible in only one season at Pitt, by winning 17 national titles.

I'm sure his ego disagrees with you.

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

Agree - it rarely (if ever) works out jumping from cfb to the pro's. Pete Carrol did it, but he had NFL experience prior to his success at USC. But guys like UM (and Spurrier and Kelly and...) have massive egos that keep pushing them into the next big thing. If he goes to Cleveland, he'll either retire early off of the ridiculous salary they'll pay him, or be back on campus within 5 years.

that's a great one..thank you for the morning humor bmw199

I thought saint Nick Sabin left LSU for NFL Miami then to Alabama

 

[Player2BNamedL8r]

He did, but wasn't as successful as Coach Carrol, and ultimately returned to college without achieving the success I'm sure he thought he would. My point was that great college coaches rarely achieve greatness (defined by championships) in the NFL.

 

[LionJim]

I think Spurrier is a bad comparison. I think Meyer is a much better coach than Spurrier.

 

[Eurotrash1]

He would be a fool to leave.

 

[lionlurker]

He'd be a fool to go, I agree, but you can't discount the egos these guys have. And if he was raised as a Browns' fan, as Cowher was a Steelers' fan, you can never tell how that plays into it.

 

[Sviatoslav]

Tebow to the Browns??

Would be an upgrade for them.

 

[PSU87]

I hope he stays at OSU. He will find a way to leave them in disarray just like he did to UF.

 

[Eurotrash1]

The Browns have actually has some good coaches. I thought the team was improving under Shurmur...he just needed a qb. Whoever, made the decision to draft Manzel must be behind the idea of hiring Urban. Urban's a great college coach but everybody is paying for players in the NFL.

"He just needed a QB" - Says Shurmur and every coach since Schottenheimer.
Has a team ever been this bereft of talent at QB in the history of the game?
Here are the QB's that have played at Cleveland since Bernie Kosar... (tip of the hat to Google, I'm a Browns fan and have blocked out memories of half of these guys)
Jeff Christensen
Mike Pagel
Don Strock
Mike Tomczak
Todd Philcox
Vinny Testaverde
Mark Rypien
Eric Zeier
Tim Couch
Ty Detmer
Doug Peterson
Spergon Wynn
Kelly Holcomb
Jeff Garcia
Luke McCown
Trent Dilfer
Charlie Frye
Derek Anderson
Brady Quinn
Ken Dorsey
Bruce Gradkowski
Cold McCoy
Jake Delhomme
Seneca Wallace
Brandon Weeden
Thad Lewis
Jason Campbell
Brian Hoyer
Johnny Manziel

Utterly pathetic.

100% lead pipe lock that is he does go to the Browns that it will be a disaster. There is a good reason that none of Urban's QB's have never succeeded in the NFL and it's because his schoolyard offense never develops them into passers (look at the passing ability of the 3 qb's in Columbus now) but most importantly you try to run that offense in the NFL and you're QB will get killed.....instantly!

Damn. You have my sympathies. Who was the quarterback during the Earnest Byner fumble game? I forget.

 

[bmusser24]

Brian Sipe or Bernie Kosar I think

 

[fasttracker]

Manziel will give him a heart attack on his own? The chit stains would definitely be Meyers first losing stop!

That was Kosar.

I believe Otto Graham could out quarterback these guys. And he has been dead for 12 years.

Bottom line is that if you have to ask whether or not a potential draftee is a head case, pass on the guy.
