One More Reason to be a D.J. Durkin Fan - He told Urban Meyer No @ OSU

Submitted by alum96 on

Lost in the OMG HARBAUGH "CAN'T GET" HIS TOP GUYS hysteria created by the media, it looks like Urban "could not" either. 

An interesting blurb here on why we should love D.J. Durkin a 'lil bit more.  Urban reportedly offered Durkin a job at OSU when he was hired in 2011.  And Durkin said no.

Urban can't close on Durkin.

Meyer asked to be relieved from working as a studio analyst for ESPN this weekend and did not return multiple phone calls from ESPN.com over the last few days. A person familiar with the situation said Meyer has already offered two of his former assistants -- Florida linebackers coach/special teams coordinator D.J. Durkin and strength and conditioning coordinator Mickey Marotti -- a chance to join his staff at Ohio State.

As noted above Durkin meet Urban at BGSU and followed him to ND. but the best part is that Urban (along with Mattison) actually recommended Durkin to Harbaugh when JH was staffing Stanford! Well I guess that came back to bit Urban on the butt!!!?!?!

I have a feeling we're going to be a fan of everyone Harbaugh brings in. Even though it seems as if it's taking a while, I don't think he's going to f this up. We're in good hands.
