ESPN's big on journalistic integrity. That's why they employed Emmitt Smith for multiple years.

"The way you perform make them feel about you different."
I'd like to believe this is true but this is Ohio State football we're talking about.
Assuming Urb did actually send Earl Bruce & a high-powered attorney/executive to pressure the wife into dismissing the charges, that's the nail in the coffin, in my opinion.
Agreed --
Big difference between...
(a.) Not even clear what he knew and when he knew it.
(b.) He more-or-less knew but was passive about it.
(c.) He actively worked to suppress the story and problem.
Kinda my thoughts. If this indeed is true it’s damning and if Meyer isn’t fired or resigns that’s a terrible look for Ohio State.
My thought is Campbell would be considered but they ultimately go with someone higher profile, maybe a Chris Petersen or someone of that ilk that is a proven commodity.
If Meyer is fired in the next couple days, they'll name an interim coach and begin their search in November. If Campbell wins the Big 12 this fall, we can start worrying.
So finally last week, it got bad enough for Urban to fire him, as if the story would go away.
I've always said Ohio State is one of the schools that I think could get Matt at the right time...but as stated, maybe if they can Urban sooner we are in the clear because he still would be under the "rising star" category for most nationally not "proven" to the "elite" fans in Ohio
Horse ****. No one's heads are rolling at MSU because those guys bring in money. At PSU, Joe Pa was going to be out anyway and it was so egregious there was no other choice. Baylor as well. While I hate trying to "rank" these incidents, this is not on the level of any of them in terms of people affected and total harm done. Until fan bases start holding their own people accountable for this stuff, things won't change. They're the ones who write the checks and they're the ones who matter. So long as they defend their great coaches because they win, ADs will do everything they can to save them.
******* seriously OSU why is it so hard to do the right thing and stay out of trouble. You have every advantage there is in college FB and yet you find ways to **** it up..
The way it sounds Campbell is a big name in college football.
Totally different scenarios. Sean Miller was a recruiting violation. This
With the Seahawks trending downward would Ohio State dare try Pete Carroll?
What I love about Matt is he, I believe, isn't cut from the same cloth as many of the traditional coaches (meaning, he actually enjoys building a program, getting success, sustaining).....BUT, I also know that i've seen the top end schools (schools like Ohio State) putting money out there that is WAY more than we can offer....and most humans would leave a job for a salary that is double, etc.
Again, all I can hope is we have the success that wants folks wanting a coach AND we (ISU) have a chance to counter the offer in some way.
Do you think Saban's legend is much different if he stays at MSU his whole career? I don't.
All good reasons why OSU wouldn’t go for Campbell posted previously but another one is the fan base/donor base would absolutely protest in the streets. These people are insane on a level that we can’t comprehend. Nebraska is only 1/4 of the insanity that is OSU football.
My text to a buddy (OSU alum): “urban out? what do you think about Matt Campbell?”
Buddy: “he will probably survive this. Who?”
