Ohio spreading Hoke NFL rumors
February 11th, 2013 at 5:12 PM ^
I'm going to go ahead and call BS on this.
February 11th, 2013 at 5:13 PM ^
Is he getting Brady and Jon confused?
February 11th, 2013 at 5:15 PM ^
something confused...
February 11th, 2013 at 5:23 PM ^
I think it's Peppers. He says it did not originate with negative recruiting rather his own research. I'm obviously skeptical that anyone's own research would lead them to conclude that Hoke has an NFL future. I think he simply knows better than to look a gift horse in the mouth. The coach who told him this lie offered him a scholarship and for that reason he'll keep his name out of the press.
February 11th, 2013 at 5:14 PM ^
Sounds like negative recruiting.
February 11th, 2013 at 5:16 PM ^
Isn't chasports.com Ace Williams? I refuse to click the link and see.
February 11th, 2013 at 5:19 PM ^
Good call.
February 11th, 2013 at 5:20 PM ^
February 11th, 2013 at 5:32 PM ^
My point is that Ace Williams trolls for clicks, so linking to him or clicking on those links just feeds the troll. I refused to feed the troll any more than you already had.
February 11th, 2013 at 5:34 PM ^
February 11th, 2013 at 5:16 PM ^
Damn you, Urban Meyer speading lies again.
February 11th, 2013 at 5:16 PM ^
February 11th, 2013 at 5:26 PM ^
You really think that? I suppose the point is moot. His heart stays in Ann Arbor no matter where he travels.
February 11th, 2013 at 5:30 PM ^
His brother Jon seems to be thriving in the NFL. Don't know why you think Brady would get eaten alive.
February 11th, 2013 at 5:36 PM ^
Is a defensive backs coach. When people say that a coach is going to make the jump to the pros from a major school it is implied that they will be going to be head coaching at the next level. There is a huge difference between being an NFL head coach and defensive backs coach.

February 11th, 2013 at 6:23 PM ^
Good point. Mattison had success in the NFL, but along the same lines wasn't fulfilled by professional coaching, as he was recruiting/moulding college talent
February 11th, 2013 at 5:16 PM ^
Chatsports? Isn't that Ace William's site?
February 11th, 2013 at 5:17 PM ^
Unless we're all being duped by Hoke...I'm chalking this one up to negative recruiting.
I think it'd just be a shame if info came out that URBAN MEYER allegedly KILLED 5 HOOKERS WITH CRAIG JAMES.
February 11th, 2013 at 7:13 PM ^
UMK5GA.
February 11th, 2013 at 5:17 PM ^
With Carr it was Alzheimer's, with Hoke it's the NFL. Other schools love making crap up about our coach.
February 11th, 2013 at 5:29 PM ^
Not Alzeimer's or MS, but Parkinson's.
February 11th, 2013 at 6:13 PM ^
You're right. By bad.
February 11th, 2013 at 5:30 PM ^
I thought it was Parkinson's.
February 11th, 2013 at 6:29 PM ^
I would say RR has a way bigger gripe about people making up crap about him than Hoke and Carr do.
February 11th, 2013 at 10:32 PM ^
you aren't fooling me RDT..errr Section 1
February 11th, 2013 at 5:48 PM ^
If he actually heard this, there's probably only one person it would come from, and I think you know who that is.
February 11th, 2013 at 6:49 PM ^
....from a college buddy whose brother-in-law heard from a recently fired MAC assistant coach that Urban Meyer was awash in NFL offers. And I believe it! Because I'm an credulous guy!
Now...let's everyone go out and spread this quite reliable word.
February 11th, 2013 at 6:58 PM ^
i heard the same exact thing and i live all the way out in Hawaii!
must be true: urban meyer to go pro this coming season. it's a fact.
February 11th, 2013 at 7:49 PM ^

Thank you, Simone.

Don't read that website!!! And don't post links to it, either. Any publicity just encourages BS like what gets posted there.
February 11th, 2013 at 5:21 PM ^
February 11th, 2013 at 5:24 PM ^
February 11th, 2013 at 5:32 PM ^
Is your "in-state preview of 2014 recruiting" the long post you were working on?
February 11th, 2013 at 5:34 PM ^
Yes, it was.
February 11th, 2013 at 5:24 PM ^
This is one large poop sandwich of a thread.
February 12th, 2013 at 1:04 AM ^
love this
February 11th, 2013 at 5:22 PM ^
Is it time to raise the point limit on starting threads yet?
February 11th, 2013 at 5:22 PM ^
February 11th, 2013 at 5:26 PM ^
Urban is more likely to retire twice from "health" problems in the next 5 years than Hoke taking an NFL job.
February 11th, 2013 at 5:26 PM ^
I heard that Urban Meyer once quit his football team because he had heart problems and then went back to coaching a year later.
February 11th, 2013 at 6:23 PM ^
February 11th, 2013 at 6:55 PM ^
Is this be one of the recruiting tips that Meyer gives to lowly Big Ten coaches . . . make bad shit up about the other coaches?
I heard that Meyer is going to go to prison for sexual harrassment.
Hey, that's pretty easy. I think Jerry Kill should try that.
February 11th, 2013 at 8:16 PM ^
Negative recruiting is one thing when you point out something actually negative about something (i.e. "Hey recruit X, did you know Lane Kiffin is a huge douchebag?"). But I don't understand what there is to gain by outright lying. Can't Hoke just tell Peppers that this is all BS, and then the guy spreading lies will have his credibility shot and look like a major asshole? The only way this works is if somehow Hoke has zero contact with Peppers between now and signing day...

This is what got Lawrence Marshall to commit to OSU—Urban told him that Brady was going to become HC of the Lions.
If Jabrill Peppers actually believed the Hoke-maybe-to-NFL rumors, he's not an overly bright young man. Out of all the coaches at the D1 level in college ball, Brady Hoke is among the least likely to go to the NFL at this point in his career.
