Scoundrel Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Just now, .Buzz said: I'd have worries about Lawrence/Fields until draft day or we announce it's Lawrence. But I can't argue the take. I like Day the coach. But I'm also A-Ok with rolling the dice on Meyer. And you wouldn’t have them with Meyer the Ohio State guzzler? I know he didn’t coach Fields. But I’d be worried still. Meyer apparently wants possible Gm level control according to Cardale Jones who recently had dinner with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you said, he didn't coach him as he was out prior. He's stated on multiple occasions that Lawrence is the best QB in college football (and I believed he even argued the best college QB ever). You aren't getting a big fish like Urban unless you allow him to build it. I'm fine with it as long as he has an experienced GM by his side. Guys like Reid, Carroll, etc. also have plenty of control, just depends if Urban is a guy that says it's my way or the highway or allows it to be a collaborative effort. The former would worry me a bit, of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, I expect a few former HCs to be in the fold as well. He's going to want experience on the staff. Really curious who he gets on the staff and I’m hoping he surrounds himself with guys with NFL experience. Someone like Jim Caldwell and Marvin Lewis would be outstanding as coordinators. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I like the idea of hiring Urban Meyer. I know some college coaches flame out in the NFL, but there aren't many with Urban's pedigree. He isn't a guy who has been a flash in the pan in the college ranks for a few years. He has been successful with more than one program over many years. Even though there is a difference between college and the pros, I think he can make the transition. I'm feeling good about this if it happens.

But yes, I'm hoping he gets legit coordinators/these staff rumors are legit and he can let them do their thing as he CEO's it.

candyman93 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 If it’s Urban, he’s going to emphasize building in the trenches. That was the #1 thing he wanted to do at OSU day 1. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would probably be perfect as coordinators. I wouldn't mind Wade Phillips as our DC if he is available either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Johnson was obviously fantastic, Steve spurrier not so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban unfortunately fits this category more, but he’s not a jerk. Edited January 3, 2021 by candyman93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
