Another year or 2 where OSU lays an egg against Michigan, and we'll start seeing how deep those OSU alum pockets are when it comes to NIL, coaching buyouts, and coaching contracts to be honest.

He’s the one we really want, no disrespect to Luke. They’d both be amazing fits. Just need to hope Tennessee is stupid enough to blame Vrabel for their problems.

Easy to move back when the roots haven't set in yet. Every year he's here it's gonna get tougher. 11 hours ago, candyman93 said: On OSUs end, I’ve heard Vrabels name mentioned a TON.

Is OSU going to get their top target no matter the cost? They'll have multiple high end targets near whatever the standard range is for a top of the line college coach ($10MM-ish now, who knows eventually), are they going to pay a massive premium for Fickell specifically? Long term, I'm skeptical on both fronts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long term, I'm skeptical on both fronts. It depends on THE GAME. Tressel and Urban were both Ohio guys after hiring an out of state guy in Cooper. If Day collapses and falls flat on his face with an Oklahoma State D coordinator, they’ll move heaven and earth to land their guy, who is an alum, helped lead that 2014 defense to a National Title, and let’s face it, if Fickell does great up at Wisky the hottest name in coaching.

packerstk7 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I’d be shocked if presented with the opportunity to be HC at OSU he wouldn’t be off right away. Money would likely be more and it’s his home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 Fickell doesn't give off "leave after a year or two" type vibes though. I think Vrabel will end up the next Ohio State coach before Fickell does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packerraymond Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Looks like Howard will be committing today to close off our 2023 class if the crystal ball trend is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
