Ohio spreading Hoke NFL rumors

but it's easy to speculate—Marshall was a bit of a surprise commit to OSU, and if we're now hearing that OSU might be the source of the Hoke-to-NFL baloney, nothing would surprise me.
This doesn't help Meyer at all IMHO, if it's true that his staff is the source. All he's doing is putting an extra-large bullseye on his back for the other conference coaches.

that it's bitten his ass in his personal life. But that's neither here nor there, and if this were any other thread I wouldn't mention it.

But I wouldn't call OSU toothless. Spineless, sure. Gutless? Yep. Shameless, for sure. Not sure about toothless though.

Hoke will spend 5 years at Michigan, win a couple NCs (yes, that means 2 out of the next 3), and go to the NFL. Jim Harbaugh, who is bored after 2 straight Super Bowl championships, returns to Michigan.
5 years later, both win it all two more times at their new jobs, get bored and swap jobs.
Hit repeat a few times, until Mike Hart/Tyrone Wheatly/Kovacs/Denard/etc. is ready to assume the head coach job at Michigan.

Just glad this BS didn't come out a few weeks ago...
February 11th, 2013 at 5:27 PM ^
Ohio hooey. And that's the foulest, smelliest kind.

Now the title is even worse!
February 11th, 2013 at 5:31 PM ^
I saw this in the ESPN Rumors section on their website but didn't believe it...Now that I see the facts, I believe it less.
February 11th, 2013 at 5:31 PM ^
Don't click anything from ChatSpots. Pure Garbage.
February 11th, 2013 at 5:35 PM ^
This is ridiculous, but the coaching staff shouldn't have too much trouble explaining things to Peppers or anyone else. Hopefully this will blow up in the face of the person(s) who spread the rumor.
Also, why does this seem to be coming from OSU? Any reason other than general dislike of them?

Peppers should watch this video of Hoke talking about Michigan:
February 11th, 2013 at 5:43 PM ^
Scratch that. Apparently the updated link includes some info about the sources of the rumors. Instead of my sarcastic jab at the OP, here's a GIF of a baby pygmy goat playing:

Peppers isn't the only recruit who was told this lie.
"More than one recruit has mentioned to Hoke that OSU coaches are the source of the rumor and Brady has emphatically told the players that he will be at Michigan for as long as they will have him, hopefully for 20+ years. The guy is living his dream job and is as genuine as they come.”
February 11th, 2013 at 5:46 PM ^
Who is the reporter?
February 11th, 2013 at 6:01 PM ^
I copied and pasted that quote into google.
It is from chatsports.
February 11th, 2013 at 6:08 PM ^
And they also say this in the same report:
A few months back, we were told off the record that Michigan coaches had been telling recruits that they would be in Ann Arbor for years after Meyer in Columbus and to only expect the 2X National Championship winning coach to only be the head man at OSU for 3 more seasons until he gets bored.
This all sounds like a bunch of crap.
February 11th, 2013 at 5:46 PM ^
Source?
February 11th, 2013 at 5:47 PM ^
how this fits into Urban's recruiting tips for the other Big Ten coaches.
February 11th, 2013 at 5:41 PM ^
Is that you again? Are you back from the London tabloid trying to spread rumors again?
February 11th, 2013 at 5:43 PM ^
to double-point. Hoke ain't going anywhere he can't double-point.

February 11th, 2013 at 6:01 PM ^
After Friday all the B1G coaches will have Urban's full tutorial on how to improve B1G recruiting by emulating OSU.
Wait until you see #3: Tell recruits that Hoke requires players to attend class regularly.

I find this hard to believe that OSU coaches are spreading these rumors. For whatever reason, I can't see Meyer stooping this low. But hey, I've been wrong before.
Besides, why would OSU fans want Hoke gone? Wouldn't they want him to stick around so their "SEC defense" can dominate us thoroughly for a thousand generations as they're supposedly believing?
February 11th, 2013 at 6:05 PM ^
I'm not at all ready to pin this on him. Peppers may not have even said that. However, the Florida coaching staff (when Meyer was still there) pretty obviously lied to Daryl Stonum to try to get him to be a Gator. So I'm not sure how low Meyer would go.

February 11th, 2013 at 7:00 PM ^
i think this whole post is about rumors,asshole.
February 11th, 2013 at 7:56 PM ^
Are you comparing the baying of a -18 year old to your self? If so, at he didn't insinuate a married man cheated on his wife. Stay classy (love the pict, btw).
February 11th, 2013 at 7:02 PM ^
Or it makes you look like the asshole that is telling recruits that Hoke is going to the NFL.
February 11th, 2013 at 7:17 PM ^
yes,it makes me look just like a grown man lying to kids to come to my school. you busted me.
February 11th, 2013 at 6:56 PM ^
Major Applewhite to Ohio?
February 11th, 2013 at 6:37 PM ^
I don't find it hard at all. This is the culture down in Columbus.
February 11th, 2013 at 6:05 PM ^
I believe Hoke said " coaches don't leave Michigan to go to the NFL, coaches leave the NFL to go to Michigan."
February 11th, 2013 at 6:05 PM ^
February 11th, 2013 at 6:05 PM ^
For Hoke to say Urban is a broken man and he will likely just quit one day to the top recruits but Coach Hoke would never do that. But Urban would manufacture lies just to get a recruiting edge. Hopefully, the recruits will see past this BS!

While this is a wonderful pictures, this is at least the second time you've posted it in the last hour...
