Urb donezo
- Thread starter inWV
- Start date
And think that some of those wins came while at BGSU and Utah
Good lord, he has 32 losses...12 were while at UF and 5 were at BGSU.
His record really is nuts

Him being "the best OC" will only matter if he recruits at a really high level.
Which I am sure he can do but we will see!

We are talking about Notre Dame here. The program with their own network, and the easiest path the the playoff. Kelly’s seat has been hot before. If they are embarrassed on national TV again on the biggest stage, and a guy who has won 3 NCd at 2 schools (who is a former assistant at ND) is available, you think they don’t make that move?
As an OSU alumnus and living in Columbus this is no surprise. It was either now or one more year. I think this was decided a couple of weeks ago. He seemed very relaxed during Michigan week and the Big 10 championship. When we was first hired in 2012 I thought he had a 7-10 year timeline.
82-9, 3 Big Ten Championships and 1 National Championship. Not a bad 7 year gig.

I think it's probably both; he ran a horribly corrupt program at Florida and was about to be exposed, and the stress of that and his own personality/body issues made him go "BYE BYE!"
Urban, Saban, and Dabo are all great coaches but what really sets them apart right now is their off the chart recruiting. I’d love to know what percentage of all 5 star recruits each season end up signing with these three coaches.
I am anxious to see how Ryan Day recruits and if he can keep recruiting humming.

No I don't. His seat gets possibly hot in years to come if he has what "ND" considers a down year (like 9-3). I agree with you that there is delusion at ND about what they are and their standards, but if he is in the playoff or sniffing it, I doubt they make a move. I also think Urban is going to be in TV for a bit.
I saw somewhere (I haven't looked up to confirm) that Big 10 money is significantly higher than ND and their own TV contract. If true, that is a huge misconception that having their own TV deal is this huge benefit.
He's done. The announcement was without much fanfare, I guess unless you live in the little apple.
This one is real though as he had procedures on his brain cyst and was in pain many times on the sidelines during games. Just wonder, though,how much the Zach Smith/suspension played into his decision.
I'm not saying that's a zero percent chance, but I do'nt think I'd go so far as to say "there isn't any doubt". It is possible that when the other issues arise, that compounds his stress level, but if you saw him take a knee and grab his head, that wasn't acting. The guy is in poor health and it seems to be due to stress. I don't think he's long for this world operating like that and I hope for his own health that he can get it under control.
He went 4-8 2 years ago and didnt get fired. Since then he has gone 22-3. He ain't getting fired if they lose by 100.
Interesting about the money issue. I have no idea, and frankly don’t want to look it up... is what ND makes less than each individual B1G institution once the money is divided up? It sounds like that is what you are saying... correct?
He’s got an ego, and Athetic Directors want to win. One thing always heals bad rep. Time. The damage control on his rep begins as soon as the clock expires in the Rose Bowl.
3 BIG championships but realistically 4 as he went undefeated his first year and was not allowed to compete in bowls or even the NC as he inherited Tressel's sanctions. Heck of a record for Day to try and follow.
Kelly will go to NFL as soon as he can. ND is a tough job to win at today and he's taken them as far as anyone can get them.
Texas is also a fart of a season away from firing Herman if Meyer is available. This will be the scene if it happens.
There isn’t any doubt that he is full crap, and he’s proven it. He will say whatever he has to to make himself look better. He’s a snake. Nobody should ever give that guy the benefit of the doubt. I have zero doubt he is playing up whatever his issues are. I don’t wish harm on the guy, but I will immediately discount whatever he does / says by about 90%.
Like who ? That school would recruit well if Elmer Fudd was their coach. Good like there.

I don't think he has as much of a bad rep as you and many on this board think. Read the comments from national outlets and the views on Urban Meyer are overwhelmingly positive. I think it's just this board and other fans in the Big 10 that have their panties in a wad, but nationally Urban Meyer is viewed positively.
The consensus narrative is that college football is losing a great coach and a brilliant mind of the game but not a good person. Is that fair to say?
Yeah. He's a great coach, but he runs bad programs, is a hypocrite, and he's an egomaniac.
I follow the national board as well as this one and when Meyer was in the SEC it was no different. He’s disliked by many in college football.
This makes me chuckle. You have been harder on Riley than Meyer. As far as good goes, Riley was a good person when compared to Meyer.
How do you think Meyer is a good person?
You are either the Darth Vader of trolling, or you are [fill in the blank]. Anyone reading your posts on the Gebbia transfer would have thought he stole your kittens, tortured them, and then sent you the video of it. You spent weeks spelling out how awful this kid was for transferring, but you have no issues with Urb?
My goodness.
