This piece addresses what I consider to be a huge, but not widely discussed, aspect of Tatgate. That is the role, and culpability, of Smith and Gee in addition to Tressel. Interesting read.

The "institutional control" of this fiasco has been laughable.

Probably in another thread
but Urban Meyer:
"I am committed to ESPN and will not pursue any coaching opportunities this fall. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with the people at ESPN this spring and remain very excited about my role with the network this fall."
Not terribly reassuring.
Are we really worried about
Are we really worried about Urban becoming tsio's next head coach? I mean, Tressel was so good against us and had his program among the top 5 nationally almost every year. Not saying Meyer is not a great coach, and UM might be better served if the Vest's replacement was not so impressive, but Im just glad that things are finally starting to change. On both ends, no less.
Amen
I really can't imagine it getting worse than 1-10. I don't care who their next coach is. I'm just thankful for the significant and destructive break in momentum!

Urban Meyer
He worships all things RR. It would be a horrible irony if we play against the spread option and the 3-3-5 for the next decade. The question is how will TUOOS's recruiting will change when the checkbook has to be left on the pocket.
Reality is an illusion created by an unsafe drop in blood alcohol levels that exposes one to the idiocy of others.
Urban Meyer's never done...
Anything without Greg Mattison. Don't ever forget that....
"Forty-two Big Ten Championships!"
Was Mattison the DC at Utah
Was Mattison the DC at Utah and Bowling Green, too?
We ARE Michigan....COME GET SOME!!!
I didn't know Mattison was with him
I didn't know Mattison was with him in Utah or Bowling Green. The man's a good coach, but maybe not top 5 coaching material.
Also, why is your avatar the biggest no call in Michigan Stadium history?
I do believe he won the 2009
I do believe he won the 2009 NC with Charlie Strong and not Greg Mattison, but he did have Charlie Strong and Dan Mullen...not Addazio.
Edit: It was the '08 NC
Not terribly
Not terribly reassuring
What else could he say?
How about
"I still have no plans or desires to return to coaching" instead of clearly focusing his committment to ESPN for "the fall", which is irrelevant to the upcoming coaching search.
He's practically laying it out
Meyer is saying that he will be happy to coach at TSIO next year, or at least entertain serious discussions.
Urban's spread
offense won't work in the Big Ten
/sarcasm
Hahah
I actually saw some people over at eleven warriors saying they hoped Meyer wouldn't get the job for that exact reason.
Bring Meyer on. Lloyd beat
Bring Meyer on. Lloyd beat him. Brady will too.
Mind blown
Lloyd...Brady...
MIND BLOWN. (how did I not notice this earlier?!)
subject of "significant inquiry" by NCAA and OSU, sounds like his "playing days are done"
