For One Amazing Fall

Don't let all this Urban Meyer crap distract us from the fact that the 19th ranked recruiter in the country (as of right now) was coaching high school football less than a year ago.  Cheers to Ron Bellamy and many more years of him being great for this program and this university. 

42

That looks like a lot of work for something that’s dumb. 

Pretty sure Michigan is 12-1, and counting...

Thought for sure this was going to be a poem.

Very Little Brother. 

who the fuck is urban meyer

Beat Georgia!

Spot the outlier

Highjacking this unnecessary thread (We don't need another Urbs thread haha) to post a nice medley of my favorite 11W bad takes, Schadenfraude & cope:

(Disclaimer - any spelling/grammar errors (of which there are many) were taken verbatim from the comment)

- "They're always trying to make a villain out of Urban Meyer. He's a football coach, and up to this point a HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL one. All of these examples of his alleged "poor decision making" don't really amount to an ant hill's level of problems. Some drunken chick was grinding on him? Oh, that's an unforgivable sin that's never happened to any celebrity. Did he show up with her and leave with her? No. Let's leave that to Shelley to deal with. And let me be the first one to remind folks that Meyer wouldn't be the first man, athlete, coach, celeb to cheat on his wife... Look, at the end of the day, Urban Meyer is one of the greatest coaches of all time in college football. End of story. All this firing does is further make the Jags look like the total shit show that they are. You simply DO NOT fire a first year head coach, especially Urban Meyer. If I'm Meyer's lawyers, I'm getting ready my defamation and libel lawsuits right now. The list of horribles is really not that bad."

- "Typical with people like Urban, the things you love about them are the things you hate…Belien going to the Cavs is a bigger head scratcher to me…..why would you do that"

- "I just don't get the entire notion that you have to be comfortable and affirmed in every aspect of your job or when playing sports. This new generation expects it. If I played for Meyer I would total get what he was doing if he was giving me the cold shoulder or if he didn't know my name. If he yanked at my face mask or jersey. I don't look at this stuff as abusive. I mean we're playing football. I remember being a smart ass during film one morning and my HS coach told me he'd kick me square in my ass in front of everyone. Today, that gets reported and he gets fired. But,  I deserved it. I didn't go and give an interview about how my coach abused me, how toxic he was, didn't love me or hug me, or tell me how special I was, or didn't give me what I'm entitled too."

- "Hey Buckeye fans, instead of casting Urban out, how about show a little support to a guy that brought you several years of unbelievable memories and good times."

- "Urban for NIL and transfer portal coordinator?... And consultant for beating SCUM"

- "I can't buy the he was too bossy with the players bit. He's not the only control freak coach in the NFL. In the end, you don't fire a coach because of snowflakes who don't like to be yelled at and expect to be reaffirmed every five minutes in the league. I mean, it also may not get results and then you fire him for that. But not after half a season. 

I just think there was a lot of butt hurt, and enough of the media that disliked him (activist journalists) that they snowballed the guy. This was completely a PR fire by the owner and he had no choice since he's trying to rebrand the team and the media was making that impossible as long as Meyer was at the helm. 

I'm not saying Meyer didn't make mistakes, but this was a sabotage through and through. I'm also very surprised at our fanbase. Man we turned on him faster than a Gator fan on jet skies. As far as was reported. He didn't do anything wrong at Ohio State other than probably be a jerk, didn't give warm hugs like the youngsters expect these days, and be old school. That may not be your cup of tea, but it's not something to hang a guy over. You can say he underperformed, which he did. But man, we have a serious mob mentality going on at Buckeye Nation that I am pretty upset about."

- "I love Urban. He rescued the Buckeye football program. Undefeated against the Wolverines. National Championship. He is made to be a college coach. He is an elite recruiter and motivator. Those skills don't translate to the NFL. Although the Jaguars failure is totally because they have the worst roster in the league."

- "I'm not defending 5he guy but the kicker claiming just yesterday he was kicked in practice during the pre season. Just doesn't make any sense, unless that story is made up and just being used as justification for firing with cause."

- "Does the Bucks have an opening for a Big Game/Michigan consultant available?"

- "To demonstrate fairness as an intellectual standard of thought, it would not be diar to say that Urban Meyer "groped" a woman, when it appeared that she was groping him."

- "You love him when he’s coaching your team and hate him when he’s not. Urban comes with a lot of baggage. "

- "Heal up coach!!! We don’t know all the facts about any of the BS in the press.  Take some time now to heal and to focus on family."

- "He can be on Zach Smith's podcast, right??"

I get that OP is making a joke. But I don't think I get what the joke is.

Bottom 4.  Nice.

Thank you for the laugh

Joins Lou in this infamous group.  Love it!!

I upvoted this one. Creative and hilarious!

Two quit, two got fired. The only guy who made it back to CFB and was successful was Lou.

I agree that FSU will likely be the next and perhaps final stop for Urban - the ethics at that school are so low they played a guy accused of rape at QB just to win a NC.

Even OSU will not take him back - Luke is destined to coach there soon enough.

Given the mood many of us had during the B1G summer conferences in Indy and Urban with his new "toy" - it's incredible that we are in such as great place today.

Who's go it better than us? NO ONE!

Unintended consequence (or maybe intentional): Removing the "M" from MGoBlog.  How very OSU of you.  I guess it fits the theme.

he'll do just fine, he's teaching a course on 'rebuilding your reputation' at ohio state next semester.

Which of our 12 wins do you not recognize?

It's pretty funny that Urban Meyer's entire legacy has been destroyed. It is good to watch.

12-1 

I had forgotten Holtz didn't make it through one season.  Great piece of Jets lore.

I'm a bit surprised, but not shocked. The man seems to be the walking, talking definition of asshole.
