Scout.com reports Meyer, OSU agree to deal.

[dazed&confused]

A month ago a lot of people were against Meyer taking this job. I'm not one of them. You got to go with the hot hand. I said recruiting would heat up when he was announced. Now, let's wait and see what happens in the next few months. OSU may endure loss of scholarships but I figure 5 kids at least would walk on to be a part of this. Carmen Ohio!

Shelley Meyer indicated Urban got burned out covering for assistants at UF. That's 1 reason the family is excited to have Luke Fickell stay.

Great day to be a Buckeye fan!

Dubs, Tim Hinton from ND is a strong rumor. They have been friends since 85-86 at OSU. Hinton knows Ohio football very well.

One of the YouTube videos of the Meyer press conference had this comment from a Gator fan:

"The GATOR NATION is better without him. He won with Ron Zooks recruits"

Imagine what he'll do with JT's recruits!

On Mike Stoops as DC, thanks to Brandon Castelfrom OZone for these stats and quote:

"Want some stats on Mike Stoops: At Oklahoma his defenses never finished worse than 7th nationally (as high as 3rd). After he left, Oklahoma has only had one year (7th in '09) with a top-10 defense. Finished 58th in 08 and around 30 the last 2 years. That is NOT knock on Jim Heacock, who has routinely had top-10 defenses at Ohio State. Keep in mind, though Oklahoma doesn't play field position football like Ohio State. They score points!"

Stan Drayton will be staying on the staff.
He is the current WR coach, and will remain that way, he was Meyer's RB coach at Florida.

Meyer offered Barwis to come be the new S&C coach, he said no. Kiffin also offered he said no. Now Rich Rod offered, I am willing to bet he says no. He has a sweet gig in Michigan, opened his own place and gets a ton of pro's come in.

See where the Bucks went to #16 in next years class with picking up Ricquan Southward from Florida

[Peake]

Probably had more to do with 5-star DE Washington picking the bucks.

[seofan_via_dublin]

Peake, any potential grumblings from UM fans on the strong possibility of Meyer getting Scott Loeffler to be his QB coach?

Per Stefon Diggs, OSU is now in the picture after talking to Meyer.

[Peake]

Yeah, I saw that on Diggs. As much as I want him this plays better for OSU then Michigan because UM is a train you have to jump on now, and I believe his train gets left behind.

It will be a huge uphill battle for OSU to grab Diggs though. He has been a heavy Florida lean and wants to stay south.

Haven't heard anything from UM nation on that.I have heard that though, but I doubt it is a huge deal. He is an excellent coach.

Per Stefon Diggs, OSU is now in the picture after talking to Meyer.

Diggs is 70% Gator, 30% Auburn.

Nelson Algholor is high on OSU now after speaking with Meyer. Hes 85% Gator.

[seofan_via_dublin]

FT45, the quote came from Diggs himself, so I think OSU would get at least 1%! lol

Ok take your measly 1%! Haha

Florida 70%, Auburn 29%, Ohio State 1%

Mike Farrell from rivals reports:

"Noah Spence will take an official visit to #OhioState the weekend of Dec 17 after coaches visited Friday and Urban Meyer called today."

[seofan_via_dublin]

Spence is a 5 star DE from Harrisburg, PA

[seofan_via_dublin]

#1 DE in the country on rivals.
