OT: Schiano was picked to replace Meyer after next year
- Thread starter kapyoche
- Start date
I didn't know that Urban was contractually granted the right to pick his successor. Pretty cool. ...... oh wait, that is not true
or maybe he just wanted a great defensive coordinator and Greg wanted to get back to work
Sorry, I know you guys love the man but Schiano isn't teaching urban Meyer a damn thing about being a coach. Also, OSU fans would lose their shit if GS was his replacement AFTER he was turned down by us, Virginia, Miami, Georgia, and USCe
Sounds more like a friend helping a friend get back into the game.
Meyer needed a skilled coordinator and Schiano needed an opportunity in order to stay relevant. It works for both of them. Schiano will redeem his reputation and move on to a head coaching position.
How about UCF or GT.......maybe HE'S feeling some vindictive......heez pizzed...so iz wee....we should be too that we were 2nd or 3rd on his options...ef finish the job .he's BETTER NOW.....so iz we on his list.....or iz we ain't....
Greg is hired to do what he does best, stay away from the offense.
thank the OP for giving me another chance to laugh my ****ing ass off today
Who knows about Urban.
When you least expect it he quits.
He has done it before. He may do it again.
HAIL TO PITT!!!!!

The difference this time is that Urban's home. He's from Ashtabula Ohio and has a master's from OSU. Earle Bruce (former OSU coach) is his mentor and gave him his coaching start. You do realize that he had an out/escape in all of his previous contracts that if the OSU job ever opened, he could leave. He actually had pictures of Woody Hayes hanging in his Florida office.

Funny post by the OP, I laughed out loud for real. Greg teaching Meyer how to coach in the NFL. Master plan to oust Meyer for Schiano.
Greg: "Urban, let me teach you how to coach in the NFL, I want to help you out".
Urban: "Okay, that is mighty generous of you Greg".
Greg: "No problem. I know all about what not to do in the NFL. For example, for some reason all the NFL coaches don't like it when you try to hurt their QB on kneel downs. So don't do that".
Urban: "Thanks for that info. I did not know that".
Greg: "Also, the players don't like it if you make their captain look like a drug using bum. So don't do that either".
Urban: "I thought you didn't leak that information".
Greg: "Well I did. I had to get rid him so I could hire more Rutgers players".
Urban: "I have heard a lot of good things about Rutgers players. Very good".
Greg: "Also if you see a big sign on the highway that says Fire You, they really might fire you. Best to pack your bags just in case. You can always get the Syracuse head coaching job because they look for a new coach every year".

Remind me again Carolina, Urban hired GS because he was concerned about the eventual sudden rise of RU and wanted to counteract it?
OR…GS needing a job, the friendship between Meyer and Greg, OSU needing a defensive coordinator, having an unlimited bank account and the fact that he's a highly respected defensive coach?
What you think?
I admitted in a different thread that one of my first thoughts is this puts Greg in the coach in waiting position. Whether or not it happens or should happen is one debate. The fact that he's in a good position now isn't imo.
Nighty-
I had a good conversation with Urban this morning, he told me he wants to coach at OSU for ten more years…:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
While you were talking did you happen to mention it'd be nice if he left NJ alone for a year or two? Maybe take Harbaugh with him?
I watched the ceremony at the White House on line. Saw Larry. That must have been a real blast and a memory for a lifetime.
Urban doesn't get to name his successor at OSU. For that reason alone, the whole Schiano to OSU to become future head coach there would be stupid. But it doesn't end there.
Why would OSU, a national championship contender every year and a school with a near limitless spending budget, choose to hire a guy that couldn't win a watered down Big East conference title, couldn't beat WVU, generally struggled against spread offenses, could be counted on to have at least one WTF game per season, and was a polarizing figure at his last two jobs?
It's very understandable that many RU fans love Schiano because Schiano performed a minor miracle here. But RU fans should understand that the rest of the country does not share this strange adoration of the guy. He was a good DC for Miami. He did a great job of pulling RU's program out of the weeds. He was able to recruit some great players along the way.
But that's it. As a program builder, he's a giant among his peers. As a DC, he's good to very good. As a head coach, he's just average. OSU does not want or need a program builder. They want one of the best head coaches available in the country. A proven winner.

Urban already passed on the Notre Dame job once. Not sure why he'd leave Ohio State for it.
I think its the other way around. From Schiano's time with the Bears, the U, and Rutgers, he's only seen pro set offenses on a day to day basis. If he gets another college coaching gig, he will have seen first hand how a multiple offense runs and is coached. Pretty good move on Schiano's part.
Can you HONESTLY say Greg was not an excellent defensive coordinator with his Miami teams?
these guys look out for each other......they make sure no one does without steak on the table....tight knit group...btw not many better than GS coaching intensive pressure D....say what else you will about him...
And you didn't even mention does he or his family really want to spend there best yrs living in Columbus when even NYC/NJ metro is beneath them....he's a Jersey/NYC-Fla type of guy...at least warm weather.
