Per Ryan Dunleavy ... we my have a visitor from tOSU

Question, do Assistant Coaches use private jets for recruiting visits or do they use commercial flights?
 
Rumor has it they will be meeting here:

Good point. Probably Urban wants the RU gig to get some national exposure from the NYC market...

OSU guys are ridiculously bad. Guy who lost to Flood? Guy Robb Smith had to fix? OSU offense this year?
 
and the women's soccer game against PSU is sold out at 10K fans. Nice.

So disappointing if this is the guy

How is either one of these guys a disappointment? You take the OC or the DC of a national power. You weaken (theoretically) the best team in our league/division. The Meyer coaching tree is about as good as it gets. The past is no predictor but the data points are pretty good.

How is this any different materially than UGA hiring Smart? Except the fact that Georgia has a helluva lot more to sell to hot coaching candidates than us?

I'm trying to think of examples of P5 schools hiring away P5 head coaches who were having success at the time. Franklin at Vandy and they wildly overpaid. Amd it's Vandy. Strong at Texas? In reality that was a bad hire and Louisville was basically non P5 anyway. It just doesn't happen and certainly not at schools that have the perception issues we have right now.

Yup, wasn't Ed Warinner the coach the RB went nuts on saying he doesn't know what he's doing?

Tim Beck, Ohio State quarterbacks coach and co-offensive coordinator, was calling the plays for the Michigan State game - which they lost - and was the game that Elliot was outraged about.

Ed Warinner moved to the press box & called plays for the Michigan game - and they administered an butt whooping to Michigan.

But realistically, they could have given the Ohio State QB 25 plays & told him to run what ever makes sense & they would have pounded Michigan into the ground

OSU Bio on Warriner. I was surprised. He has 11 years coordinator experience. An excerpt:

"Warinner's coaching career includes coordinator positions for three record-setting Kansas Jayhawks teams, including the 2007 unit that averaged 479.8 yards and 42.8 points per game. He also has two seasons as offensive coordinator experience at Army.

Warinner was named the 2014 FootballScoop offensive line coach of the year. He is the first coach to earn offensive line coach of the year honors from FootballScoop twice and he joins a short list of three other coaches -- Mark Helfrich, Kliff Kingsbury and Philip Montgomery -- to be named a FootballScoop positional coach of the year twice. He also won the award in 2012.

Warinner's honors also include being named a 2014 Rivals.com Top 25 recruiter. In 2012, Rivals.com named Warinner one of the Top 20 "hottest assistant coaches" in the nation and prior to coming to Ohio State in 2011, he was a finalist for the FootballScoop offensive line coach of the year.

Warinner has coached at eight different schools: Akron, Michigan State, Army, Air Force, Kansas, Illinois, Notre Dame and now Ohio State. In addition to his 11 years in coordinator positions, he has spent 18 of the past 23 seasons coaching the offensive line.

"I've always strived to coach in positions where I have a lot of responsibility," Warinner said. "Serving as a coordinator goes beyond just coaching what my guys are doing. It is a thought process of attacking and moving the ball, and strategies and reading plays. There is a big picture as a coordinator that I am into and really enjoy, and it's a position from where I think I can make a significant contribution to the success of a team.' "
 
I would be okay with either guy. They are unproven as head coaches. They would need large budgets for their staffs to have any chance at all. But at least they aren't proven to not get the job done (Golden, Cristobal, Schiano).

I would still rather shell out the $10M to lure a proven winner here. But I'd settle for these guys or some other coordinators from winning programs.

Urban Meyer was on plane per an OSU beat writer.

Seems like a recruiting trip.

IT IS CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS URBAN MEYER ON THE PLAN. No doubt coming to steal more NJ recruits.

I was just at Subway and overheard Urban, Ed and Chris discussing that they are all looking for a new job since they lost the MSU game and will be fired at the end of the season. He's hoping to talk RU into paying him 7.5M to come here. The other two are competing for the position if RU cheaps out on the hire.

You heard it here first.
 
The reason I know that it is a recruiting trip... If they were flying in to be interviewed (btw, why would two guys share a same small plane to interview for the same job?) for the RU job it would not be on a jet to Teeterboro.

They would have been on a single prop plane to Kupper Airport and have been asked to wear thick soled shoes because they themselves were the backup landing gear.

So there's this pirate walking down the street; has a steering wheel in his pants. He enters a Subway and says: "arrrrr, make me a turkey sub, ye scallywag".

As the guy behind the counter gets to work on the sub, he notices the steering wheel and asks the pirate: "excuse me sir, but why do you have a steering wheel in your pants?". And the pirate responds: "arrrrrr, it's drivin me nuts".
