Somehow I feel the cost of living isn't going to be a deciding factor for someone pulling in $5M+ a year annually in official money plus all the perks that come on the side from boosters and alums.

Why is Urban Meyer involved in Colorado State Head Coach hiring process??

Tuesday update at Colorado State

By Scott Roussel      December 10, 2019

On Monday, the Colorado State search was trending toward former Tennessee head coach Butch Jones. In fact, we were told a deal was being negotiated.  However, sources told FootballScoop that the search has taken a late turn, and former Indiana head coach Kevin Wilson now has a very good shot at being offered the job.

If Colorado State can reach an agreement with either Jones or Wilson, a formal announcement could be made as soon as later today.

Of note: Urban Meyer advised Colorado State and, sources say, sat in on meetings as a representative of the Rams.

Wilson, 58, went 26-47 in six seasons as the head coach at Indiana from 2011-16. Prior to that, he was a pioneer of the spread, up-tempo offense. as Northwestern’s offensive coordinator from 1999-01 and Oklahoma’s offensive coordinator from 2002-10. After Indiana, Wilson spent two seasons on Meyer’s staff at Ohio State and continued with Ryan Day as the offensive coordinator.

Here's why Urban was involved in Colorado State Coaching Search...  So freakin' incestuous!!

Colorado State: Sources tell FootballScoop that Steve Addazio is expected to bring Bowling Green tight ends coach (and his son) and former Ohio State graduate assistant Louie Addazio and Ohio State senior quality control analyst Corey Dennis (the son-in-law of Urban Meyer) to the staff. We understand Louie will likely coach the offensive line, and Dennis will likely work with the quarterbacks.

Ohio State football to elevate Corey Dennis to quarterbacks coach: Report

Updated 6:31 PM, Today

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State football plans to look internally for its next quarterbacks coach, according to reports.  Quality control coach Corey Dennis is expected to be promoted to succeed Mike Yurcich as QBs coach, per Yahoo’s Pete Thamel. Yurcich was hired as Texas’ offensive coordinator following the Buckeyes’ Fiesta Bowl loss to Clemson last Saturday.

Reports last month said Dennis was expected to join the coaching staff at Colorado State, also as quarterbacks coach. Those reports preceded Yurcich’s departure at Ohio State.

Dennis, who is the son-in-law of former OSU coach Urban Meyer, has spent the previous five seasons on Ohio State’s staff. Over the past two seasons he worked with Heisman Trophy finalist quarterbacks Dwayne Haskins, who set a Big Ten touchdowns record in 2018, and Justin Fields.

He began his tenure as an intern while working towards his master’s degree in sports management. He later served as a graduate assistant on offense in 2016 and ’17. Prior to his coaching career, Dennis played 54 games in four seasons at Georgia Tech, contributing at receiver, defensive back and special teams.

Did you read any of the tweets back @ Corey Dennis? Seems like a lot of people who would know think this is a great move.

We're making another attempt to trademark a word.  Haters gonna hate.

“The” is the most commonly used word in the English language, according to the Oxford English Corpus, and Ohio State is continuing its fight to trademark it.

The United States Patent and Trademark Office refused Ohio State’s attempt to trademark the word “The” Sept. 11, but the university is once again attempting a trademark on the word in retaliation over fashion brand The Marc Jacobs’ similar application.

“This is a defensive action in response to designer Marc Jacobs’ response to the office action in his application, which includes an example of his intended use that signals a potential encroachment on the established use of ‘The’ by Ohio State,” Ben Johnson, university spokesperson, said.

I'm sure there is a perfectly logical explanation for Urban's face being that color, and for a half (or more than half?) naked guy being in view, and for them to be on a boat or wherever that took place. I just don't know what the fuck the explanation would be .

More pressure on Day.  hahahaha 😂😂😂😂  

Urban Meyer and Jim Tressel agree: Ohio State has never had a more talented roster

Both of Ryan Day's predecessors have given the Ohio State fan base permission to blame him if the Buckeyes feel to meet their title-or-else expectations.

ZACH BARNETT         JUN 19, 2024

We've said this before, but the best way to understand the way Urban Meyer speaks, and thus his outlook on the world, is this: If you and him ever go to a breakfast spot and he tells you the pancakes are anything other than the best he's ever had, assume they are inedible garbage and order something else.

We call him Superlative Urban, and he struck again 

"As of now this is one of the most talented rosters in the last decade, maybe ever," Meyer told Adam King of 10TV in Columbus. "I mean, that's a big statement. They've got to play. But you look at the quality of athlete at every position, I've never seen anything like it."

As far as the most egregious statements Urban's ever made, this one ranks pretty low. He was echoed by Jim Tressel, a man known for being so conservative that his assistants had to talk him out of punting on third down. (That last statement might be an exaggeration of my own.) 

"I don't know if I've ever seen that many great players in that building all at once -- every position, every place you turn," Tressel said.

There's a lot to unpack there. Let's start here: is it true? 

247Sports has yet to release its Team Talent Composite ratings for the 2024 season, but the site had Ohio State at No. 3 last season -- a hair behind No. 2 Georgia at 974.79 points to the Bulldogs' 977.80, but a good bit behind No. 1 Alabama's 1,015.43. The most talented team in the Team Talent database (dating back to 2015) was 2022 Alabama, a roster boasting 14 5-stars and 61 4-stars, which edged out the 2023 Crimson Tide with 1,016.83 total points (whatever that means).

The mythical 2015 Ohio State team, which brought most everyone back from the 2014 championship but whiffed on a preordained title defense due to an inexplicable home loss to Michigan State, had 907.32 points per 247 (4 5-stars, 49 4-stars); the most talented Buckeye outfit was the 2018 group, whose 11 5-stars and 55 4-stars equated to 984.30 points. 

Ohio State's 2023 roster was populated by 10 5-stars and a whopping 63 4-stars, and the 2024 group will shine even brighter. The Buckeyes sunk majority of their considerable NIL budget into retaining players like defensive ends JT Tuiomolau and Jack Sawyer, defensive tackle Tyliek Williams, cornerback Denzel Burke, safety Lathan Ransom, offensive lineman Donovan Jackson, running back TreVeyon Henderson, and basically everyone with an option to go pro other than Marvin Harrison, Jr. 

Still, Ohio State had enough resources left over to sign the nation's No. 5 recruiting class, a group of 4 5-stars and 14 4-stars led by the nation's top prospect in wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, and the most star-studded transfer class in the portal's short history. 247 ranked Ohio State's 7-man class "just" ninth in pure tonnage (Ole Miss was No. 1, with 24 players) but the Buckeyes were far-and-away No. 1 on a per player basis, led again by the portal's No. 1 overall prospect in safety Caleb Downs. Ohio State also added the No. 1 transfer running back in Quinshon Judkins, Kansas State starting QB Will Howard, Alabama 5-star QB signee Julian Sayin, and Alabama's starting center Seth McLaughlin. 

Will 2024 Ohio State edge out 2022 Alabama for the most talented team in an era where we think we have better tools to rate college talent than ever before? Who knows and, most importantly, who cares? 

Around these parts, the most talented college football roster of all-time is 2017 Alabama, a team that "only" had 39 players drafted, but 25 of those 39 draftees were taken among the first 100 picks.

Time will tell how Ohio State's collection of talent stacks up to the greats of the recent past, but what matters most in the present is that this Ohio State team feels like the most talented of all time.

Here we have Ryan Day's two immediate predecessors -- men who combined to win 85 percent of their 208 combined games, nine Big Ten championships, and Ohio State's only two national championships since the Vietnam War -- come out and say on local television they've never seen such a collection of talent at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. 

Neither man came out and said it in these explicit terms, but they didn't have to: this was Tressel and Meyer telling the Ohio State fan base that if this team falls short of its national championship expectations, it's Ryan Day's fault. 

Already, Day is in one of the most unique predicaments in recent college football history. His .875 winning percentage outpaces Tressel's and is a tick behind Meyer's, with two Big Ten championships and five AP Top 10 finishes in five seasons. But Ohio State hasn't reached the College Football Playoff in three seasons, because it hasn't won the Big Ten in three seasons, because it hasn't beaten Michigan in three seasons. (Tressel + Meyer combined Michigan losses: one.) 

Meyer, for one, has shown no fear of criticizing his former assistants' coaching in his role on national television. 

“How do you evaluate the roster of a college program, especially a blue-blood program like Texas? It’s called the NFL Draft,” Meyer said of Tom Herman's Texas tenure in 2020. “They have top-10 recruiting classes every year. However, it doesn’t show up in the NFL Draft.”

If Ohio State falls short again in 2024, we already know what Meyer will tell the nation from the Fox set: It's not the players' fault, so it must be the coaches.

Ohio State, the university and the fan base, has never invested more in a football roster than it has in 2024. And while it remains to be seen if this really is the most talented team in recent Ohio State and/or college football history, what's absolutely true without a hint of hyperbole is that no coach will ever have more pressure to deliver a national championship than Ryan Day has in 2024. 

Enjoy your season, Coach Day.

I don’t fear Will Howard at tOSU, but I also don’t want to be like the idiot Sooners, who downplay Ewers just because they beat Texas last year. I can admit there is a possibility that Howard works out really well for the Buckeyes.

I think they meant that Day would be in trouble if he is caught feeling the meat.

It is the B1G. That would be ignored as long as possible.
