Scout.com reports Meyer, OSU agree to deal.

Peake, I'm not taking that bet.

ACC, the next time Brooks gets something right or as a scoop will be the first time!
He's worthless as tits of a boar hog!

Frank, the article was written 2 days ago, but the email from Gee to Smith was written back in October.
Gee's stance has changed.

OK 'dubs,sit here on my knee while I read it for you(no Sandusky references please)

But after the NCAA cited Ohio State for failure to monitor on Nov. 3, Gee told Smith on Nov. 10 that his oversight of now-banished booster Bobby DiGeronimo was “insufficient.” The failure to monitor charge stemmed from accusations that players improperly accepted money for attending a charity event and received pay for hours not worked at a DiGeronimo company.

Still, Gee said in an interview last week: “It’s very clear I have been supportive of Gene and continue to be. We have mistakes here, but we do not have a fundamental failure in our system. It’s people issues.”

Smith said yesterday that he appreciates “Gordon’s perspective on my performance.”

I interpret this to mean I've smacked your pee-pee in public and now we move on together.

You keep playing with yesterday's news, I'll follow tomorrow's. When you catch up, then we can talk.

[frank-n-beans]

Once again, I hope you're right.

[Bleeding Red]

Smith has been skeptical at best during all of this.

Bring in Archie as AD. He has enough respect for his alma matter to make sure things are ran properly.

Who are you? Marty McFly? Been riding in your Delorean lately? Unless there have been any developments in the last 4 days I got to agree with beans. You can't write or comment about tomorrow until it happens. The article is very clear on Gee's thoughts.

Although I think Luke Fickell came into a tough situation, I definitely think that the Buckeyes will be much better off with Urban Meyer.........and I would think that his health concerns are a thing of the past, because Ohio State, even with deep pockets, wouldn't throw the kind of money being talked about to Meyer if he were not in good health. Coach K at Duke took almost a whole year off due to health concerns and then came back stronger than ever.

Also, since this is Meyers' dream job, I would have to think he would be willing to put in a long term committment (10 years?).

seofan via dublin: Really enjoy your info on Buckeye football.

I love all the talk how talented OSU IS. Bucks used to win with depth and I just don't see it.Dropped TD passes,db's that couldn't cover granny in her wheel chair.Very thin at linebacker and a O cooridinator that might make it in biddy league.I like how someone said they didn't want Myer anouncement to be a distraction,that's all that has been talked about since the third game of the season.Kid's are all really young and should be much improved next year.I think the fans and administration really screwed Fickell this year with all the negative.Fickell should have been given a two or three year contract and the players wouldn't be thinking about who their next coach is.You can fire him any time you want and at 750,000 ,that's peanut money for OSU.If Myer keeps Fickell,which no way I see happening,then maybe it's not a bad move.Myer will be out of their in three years with heart problems,if he couldn't stand the pressure at Florida,no way he survives OSU.

Its Meyer GoBucks31..... Not being a jerk just helping you out

[ACCBiggz]

In more news... Urban Meyer will not call the Ohio St-Michigan despite Pasch/Spielman (his partners all season long) being assigned to game.

Edit: ESPN shifted Meyer to Gameday.

Also, a couple more reporters lean toward Kirk taking a role with Urban. One from Bucknuts.com... I'm still skeptical.

Really Like he hasnt already said yes I love the Build up though

[frank-n-beans]

On my way to (S)Lowe's today I caught the tail end of an interview of Herbie with Cowherd. Herbie was laughing at what he called an absolutely absurd rumor that he would leave the mother-ship, all the money he was making and drive around rural Ohio in a Taurus looking to recruit a 2nd string LB. I agree 100%.

I had never heard of Sports by Brooks until the other day but when I went to this morons website it took me about 10 sec to figure out what a complete idiot he is. One of his late breaking scoops was that Sandusky was released from jail on bond and was seen near an elementary school. He LIVES near an elementary school!! If anyone takes ANYTHING as gospel from this hack site then you must have been picked up in school by the short bus.

[VegasEagle]

I could care less about Herbie coaching our QB's to be honest

[GoBuckeyes2786]

^^^ same here. My main concern is hiring a coach and settling in a new staff with a good offensive coordinator and a solid D coordinator who will maintain the defense at a top notch level.

Agreed that being said we do need a QB coach but I will take anything over what we have now

[GoBuckeyes2786]

I agree. Herbstreit in my opinion isn't the best option for that job other than the big name and being a alumni. It would sound good but I'm sure there are better choices for position in terms of quality coaching and experience. Like someone else said, he'd be an idiot to take the job other than just for the passion of wanting to do it.

Yea agreed 100% imo we havent had a pure QB since Joe Germaine i know people are going to ride me for that but thats how I feel

You forgot to mention the O-Line and their depth.

When was the last time OSU had a dominate linemen? Or just pro ready to start linemen?
Much of their problem on offense may not be the lack of talent but the lack of developing talent when they get to OSU.

I would have to argue that very quickly. Guy named Troy Smith looked pretty good!

[oldmo31]

Troy was recruited as an athlete,not QB.Thanks Vegas on the Meyer thing.It's been a rough couple of weeks trying to defend Fick in this neck of the woods.Tress first year we had the same record and not saying that was his fault.Tress had a couple of kickers who couldn't kick a extra point.One of those guys,by the name of Nugent went out and worked his but off the next summer and I beleive both Tress and Nugent worked out pretty good for Buckeye fans.If you don't beleive Meyer is a good coach,just listen to him talk and he'll tell you!If Tress wouldn't have won NC the second year he would have been gone in four years.

Troy was good but I would take Joe over him any day of the week Ted Ginn and Gonzo pretty much made him
