None of it surprises me.  The dude idolizes Woody Hayes.  When push comes to shove, he goes with 'WWWD?'.  Woody would kick the kicker in the ass.

Urban fired by Jacksonville.  I bet LSU wishes they waited.

speaking of Mike Gundy lol...

"Consistency is the most important thing in building a big-time college football program, in my opinion. Now, I’ve never been at some of these schools where as people say you wake up on third base and you think you hit a triple. I’ve never been there, so I don’t know what it’s like to coach at a school like that. Coach Knowles will know.”

Agree.

But that won't happen.

Texas is stuck for at least one more year.  If Urban is still untethered at the end of the 2022 season and Sark hasn't improved the W/L record dramatically, then I suppose it could be a thing.

Urban takes about a season it so for the stench of his previous job's scandalous end to wash off, anyway...

HELL no.

And trust me when I tell you I speak for the broader base on that.

Yeah I'm not sure what to think here. I have heard of Urbs being an asshole - mostly from Super Mario, who said he was an asshole to him at BG. But as an OSU fan I really didn't see much in the way of asshole behavior. Maybe that's because he was winning all the time. I don't know. Doesn't match up with what I thought of him.

I tried to tell y'all years ago that Urban was an asshole.  I got called biased, bitter (about him going 3-3 against us??), and didn't know what I was talking about.  

He had a relatively small yet meaningful list of offenses at Florida that...let's just say I wasn't surprised by anything that happened at OSU. 

Dude is a great college coach.  And he's okay with some shady stuff.

I thought everyone knew Urbs was an asshole?  It's just that schools that want to win championships have been willing to put up with it?

There were some Buckeyes here who, shall we say, strongly disagreed with me as they were hiring him.  They got a 2014 championship out of it, and a lot of very good seasons, and I don't begrudge them that.

Urbs is what he is. I don’t think any AD is going to back away from hiring him in a year or two once the stench wears off. 

NFL is a different animal that very few college coaches have been successful at. Only two I can think of off the top of my head is Jimmy and Harbaugh. 

No shame in failing in the nfl. Urbs has the highest winning % of any cfb coach since ww2. Lot of people will probably say Saban the GOAT cfb coach and that’s certainly fair, but Urbs ain’t far behind.

Pete Carroll has had success at both levels as well.
