Possible HC replacements at OSU?

• hoops23

  

  Now that Tress has resigned, who are some candidates to replace him? Will they look to hire somebody now, or go with an interim for a year?
  
  I know a couple of popular choices seem to be Urban Meyer and Jon Gruden..
  
  Tressel came from a 1-AA school, so I wouldn't be surprised to see OSU go after somebody who doesn't have a high coaching profile either..

  I think a lot of it will depend on any sanctions that are handed down. Meyer or Stoops won't take the job if there are 3 years worth of scholie reductions.

  Agreed. I don't think NCAA punishments will be as severe as we think they could be only because lack of institutional control and other MAJOR MAJOR penalties weren't a part of the NCAA release. Does that mean penalties will come? Damn sure they will. Enough to be a deterrent for a top coach? I don't think so but we'll see

  Mark Dantonio.
  
  One can dream right?

  That doesn't mean they can't happen.

  ESPN insider just posted an article and listed replacements:
  
  1. Urban Meyer
  2. Bo Pelini
  3. Gary Patterson
  4. Jon Gruden
  5. Mark Dantonio
  6. Mark Stoops
  7. Gary Pinkel

  In my dream scenario: bo.
  
  What I feel will happen: fickel becomes permanent.

  Yes it does. It would have been stated already, like it was in Boise State's upcoming case. Nice try though.

  Would be very surprised to see the NCAA come down real hard on a program for the actions of the coach...there may be more to it but from what we know at this point it was the actions of one guy, not the institution.

  That is false. It's been discussed.

  Who knows what will happen. But its doubtful it will be to the extent of USC. They got wacked with scholarship bad, but only a one year bowl ban. I doubt OSU gets a scholarship ban near as bad. Who who knows.
  That being said, OSU is OSU....it will survive. They have talent there now. If those guys are even interested (who knows if they even are), I doubt sanctions would bother them much. And, one year will be already gone (next year with Fickel).

  Depends on what continues to come out. If the sanctions were handed down today, you may be right, especially since he resigned. But I have a feeling there is much more to come.

  Why Gruden names continues to appear on list for college is beyond me. He has never been a head coach at a major university. And I doubt he ever will. Dantonio, Pelin, Meyer and Stoops are the only ones on that list I would even consider for OSU. But it could be someone (like Tressel) that comes out of nowhere. But I think OSU will be looking at someone with Ohio /Ohio State ties.

  There may be more to come but it all depends on WHO and how many tied to the program knew...if that remains static then there won't be shit going down...

  NO are you kidding me? Are you that ignorant to the NCAA process? In the hearing scheduled for August the accusations have already been announced. Boise is going to a hearing for lack of institutional control and Ohio State is not. I guess your hatred of OSU has led you to a land of ignorance.
• Writerbuckeye

  

  Don't believe OSU when they say Fickell will have the job for a year. The search is starting now. And it will be on-going. No way OSU waits a year to start searching for a new head coach. Not gonna happen.
  
  I don't see Meyer (health), Pelini (temperment) or Gruden (he won't want to recruit) taking this job.
  
  Dantonio is a possibility.
  
  Stoops is a possibility.
  
  I don't think Patterson would come here.
  
  Pinkel is an interesting prospect, but not sure he'd be the guy, either.

  Gruden would be a great coach but I'm not sure how he would be as a recruiter. He knows a TON about football especially developing quarterbacks. If he was ever going to be a coach though, I feel like he would have been named the OC at Oregon by now him and Chip are extremely close I just don't see him being a head coach at a major university. He seems to be enjoying not coaching.

  Whatever dude. What you are saying is 100% false. It's even been talked about on radio and tv shows. It's been discussed all over the 'net.

  I see Meyer and Pelini as their top two targets in no particular order. Ef Gruden, Ef Dantonio, ef Stoops....
• september63

  

  I agree with the person that said the sanctions will determine which coach comes to OSU. These big name guys might back away from a program losing 15 scholly's a yr for 3 years. A program not allowed to play in the conference title game for three years. We shall see.
  
  If Meyer were telling the truth that the pressure of the Fla job was getting to his health, this OSU job would have the same expectations.
• Scarlet_Buckeye

  

  My "wish" list looks like...
  
  1. Meyer - I don't care for the guy, but he sure can coach/win
  
  2. Gruden - I just think he's a great guy and "gets it"
  
  3. Stoops - Youngstown
  
  4. Dantonio - was great as OSU's d coordinator.
  
  5. Someone obscure... Kinda like Tressel when we first landed him.
• derek bomar

  

  I want to see how Luke does this year. I'd love for him to be the face going forward if he shows he's ready.
• dat dude

  Gruden is at the top of my list, right there with Urban. Gruden would be an excellent recruiter. There is no doubt that he would pull top classes every year. The obvious question would be his desire to coach at the college level. He just seems like an NFL "guy." Considering his Ohio ties, I hope he at least gets a phone call.

  As of now OSU has not been charged with lack of institutional control. Unless they are officially charged with that by the NCAA, you can't really speculate OSU's penalties as if LOIC were a part of them. As it stands now, without a LOIC charge, it would be borderline ridiculous to insinuate that OSU would be hit with worse penalties than USC if there was no charge of LOIC.

  Show me some links (and recent ones, not from before the NCAA released their charges, but AFTER)
  
  EDIT: Here ya go, don't need to look to prove your incorrectness.

  Ohio State, however, was not cited for "failure to monitor" or "failure of institutional control" violations, which would likely lead to the harshest of penalties. Such penalties are typically imposed when a university's compliance program is weak.

  
  Shut up now troll.
