And this sums up the DUMBEST aspect of this mess. Ohio State should have hired a guy with at least 10 years of head coaching experience. A.D. Gene Smith and the clowns that allowed Meyer to be deposed have NO CLUE how Day "runs things".

Rumors are that Gene Smith and Prez Drake pushed Meyer for a date certain when Meyer would turn the job over to Day. They wouldn't budge. So Meyer said, "Great, then. The day is today. See ya."

Drake is a SJW idiot, and Smith became his lackey.

Sounds a lot like LSU’s administration right now. I know that a lot of people don’t like him on here but IMO Urban Meyer is second only to Nick Saban in college football and it’s not even close. Your admin screwed this one up royally and will probably take one of the 3 perennial CFP shoe ins down to at least Michigan’s level if not below them, I feel your pain bud

Why? Urban has exactly 10 years of experience when he was hired at OSU, so at least 10 years seems strange.

Dabo Swinney, Lincoln Riley, and Jimbo Fisher, were all promoted from within as their first head coaching experience. And they have 7 of the 20 teams that have been in the CFB, and 7 of the 13 teams that that weren’t Alabama and OSU. Kirby Smart and Mark Helfrich (less successful overall), both made the playoffs during their first HC stint. Dantonio only had 3 years of HC experience before MSU. And Petersen had 8.
