Luke Fickell

Ohio State is not some rouge program. You had one or two players that took advantage of the situation and a coach who tried to cover for him.I wish they would have given Fickell a three year contract and recruiting would never take a hit.Contracts don't mean much nowadays anyway.If it doesn't work out in two years time,release him from his contract and move on.Hell at 750,000.00 he's a bargain. Asst's in the sec make more than that.

He has till feburary, he wants to see what the NCAA says, what happens with the coaching staff after the season, and what kind of program Fickell is running.

Who can blame him!!!

If he wants to go somewhere else, then that's his choice.
It just means OSU d-linemen will be holding his jock at the end of the game.
But then again, who don't they dominate!

You are 100% right on.

I think his heart is telling him OSU, but of course he wants to see the outcome of the investigation before he commits. He has until February, so I think he will recommit if things go OSU's way.

Tressel coached offense, he followed and instructed the offense. He spent about 5% of his time ever with the defensive staff.

Fickle has been Defense forever, through all the coordinators Fickell has been there.

Notice, basically every name that has come up in violations has been on offense.

I know it sounds weird, but it really has been 2 different teams up here for about 5 years now.
Offense on one side, defense on the other.
Tressel hasn't held his side accountable as a whole, while Fickell has!

Another good point! I dont remember seeing any current defensive players named in the allegations. But on the other hand, I would find it hard to believe that Pryor wasnt telling even teammates on the other side of the ball about the possibility to make some extra cash and tats by signing a few items. And even more surprised if some of them didnt get involved. I still think we are in for a shocker when the NCAA gets done with their investigations in August.

jordan whiting is on the defense side of the ball. he got a one game suspension i believe.

Like we said, nobody on defense! Lol
