Title: Who Will be the New Ohio State Football Coach in 2012? Post by: Marshal Dillon on May 30, 2011, 09:59:11 AM Well, the ink on the "resignation" isn't even dry and already the speculation has started for his replacement. Speculation is on several Ohio natives:
Bo Pelini Jon Gruden Bob Stoops (yeah, I know, ths is getting old) Urban Meyer I would scratch Gruden and Stoops, not sure about the other two.

Post by: Jamos on May 30, 2011, 10:02:34 AM I don't think OSU will go after a "big gun" until the NCAA issues are settled and the severity of the penalties are known.

I was going with RichRod. But now, how about Jerry Faust? Title: Re: Who Will be the New Ohio State Football Coach in 2012? Post by: pmull on May 30, 2011, 10:28:31 AM They have already said the interim coach will coach next year which means they understand they can not get a big name until the NCAA rulings are known and the dust settles. Then my guess is Urban Meyer.

Title: Re: Who Will be the New Ohio State Football Coach in 2012? Post by: BAMAWV on May 30, 2011, 10:33:24 AM It is off topic a little, but pmull, have you heard Lou Holtz weigh in on any of this? Maybe I have just missed his comments.
PS: I mean "missed" as overlooked. Title: Re: Who Will be the New Ohio State Football Coach in 2012? Post by: ricky023 on May 30, 2011, 10:34:10 AM I would say Urban Meyer and He has had his eye on this for a long time. RTR!

Post by: BAMAWV on May 30, 2011, 11:00:38 AM [/quote] I have not seen Holtz on TV since the bowl games. :-[ [/quote]That is what I recall. Silence. Now that may mean nothing. But I was curious as to the possibility of a close friendship, or maybe even a vendetta between Tressel and Loltz. Probably nothing there.

Title: Re: Who Will be the New Ohio State Football Coach in 2012? Post by: pmull on May 30, 2011, 11:07:37 AM I just saw a report on the interim coach Luke Fickell, He is former OSU nose guard and current co-defensive coordinator. Sounds like Dubose to me.

Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on May 30, 2011, 02:37:09 PM I would say Urban Meyer and He has had his eye on this for a long time. RTR! I would think Meyer would be high on the list. OSU is waiting a year and even then the NCAA may still be investigating program. OSU may have back channeled interest to CUM already. CUM=CJT=no discipline. Throw CMR in that group as well. 8) Title: Re: Who Will be the New Ohio State Football Coach in 2012? Post by: pmull on May 30, 2011, 05:08:36 PM ESPN Video: Potential Tressel Replacements

Title: Re: Who Will be the New Ohio State Football Coach in 2012? Post by: Marshal Dillon on May 30, 2011, 05:33:18 PM I just dont know how many established coaches want to coach at a program that is either facing major penalties or already has been hit with them. I think OSU gets hit with, at a minimum, more than 30 lost scholarships, 5 years of probation, and a 2 year bowl ban. I think it's possible they lose 35-40 scholarships because there may be even more stuff out there. Plus, the OSU administrators had no control of Tressel.

They have their version of Dubose as the interim coach. Depending on the penalties they may have to hire their version of Shula next. Title: Re: Who Will be the New Ohio State Football Coach in 2012?
