Semi OT: OSU Extends Urban Meyer
http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/story/ohio-state-buckeyes-ext…
Deal will pay him 6.5 million a year.
He'll leave after Harbaugh kicks his ass the next 3 years.
the way you talk
Mine was a stupid comment.
Thought he was gonna get fired for sure. DAMN IT.
I can't wait to watch Harbaugh knock the shit out of him for the next decade.
And Urbz is all like GROAN
Wait until he either gets caught or he starts getting beat regularly by another team. He'll crawl to the mountain West like a little bitch.
Hope they extended him a good health plan since he'll be having another "heart attack" soon!
he's got those medical problems don't you know. Pretty fragile fella!
Urban Meyer is 6'3". He has three sons named Rural, Meijer and Pull
Don't forget his newborn, Oscar.
actually....ugh, what have I done?
This is Doug Stamper. Where is Rachel?!
You tell me!!! - Batman
Well. . . FIND HER!!! - Ross from Friends
Are you high or something?
can cause serious medical conditions including bone splintering.
I wonder if his OSU medical insurance considers trips to the U of M hospital an 'out of network' visit?
Note: edited several times due to shit spelling and grammar.
He didn't already have a lifetime contract?
They chose a strange way to deliver his cash.
I've seen in a long time! Pryor who? Lol
I'm surprised they didn't do it earlier. They needed to up the ante in case he ever feels like the NFL is calling his name.

Sweater vest can still fire him or no?
I mean, besides going 39-3 in 3 years, playing in 2 B1G championship games and winning a NC of course.
There's nothing worse than trying to hate on a rival when the team you root for hasn't been able to hold up its end of the bargain for over a decade. Now I know what it was like to be an MSU fan from 1967-2007.
Don't worry, Sparty will be back home at conference also ran before not too long.
With all due respect( implies none) that is an asinine post. Why wouldn't we hate on a rival? Are you new here? Most of us hate our rivals deeply. Everything about them brings disgust. If that is going to bother you.....go away.

Settle down. I remember when UM used to beat OSU on a regular basis. What I hate is that it doesn't happen anymore. It's a lot easier to come up with good material to bust on your rival when you don't lose to them every year. Didn't think I was making a very complicated point on this one, so congrats on making a mountain out of a molehill.
Also, from the Department of Are You New Here, you could answer your own question simply by looking at the "Joined" date underneath my logo.
I wonder if the contract extension included a tattoo parlor near campus. There is nothing that those degenerate bucknuts wont get tattooed on themselves. If you get ink, make it special not childish.
Brutus has a really small towel.
Maybe because Brutus has a real small something else.

but Urbz spells it with a "Z".
Clearly, he was in need of it.
That's real? Someone actually got ink of Brutus raping a wolverine? SMH
and I mean ONLY a buckeye fan would do something like that. That's why we love them...
well less than $1 million in the early 80's. At one point Texas A&M offered something around $750,000 per year to be their head coach. (1982 or so)
Today's 1982 equivalent of $1,000,000 is around $2,400,000. Just to show how out of whack college coaches compensation has become.
Or put it another way, Urban's 2015 compensation would be $2.5 million in 1982. No one was paid that kind of money to coach college football back then, not even close

The salary is actually low based upon marketing revenue, ticket prices, and the fans a great coach can draw. Michigan already made over 300k more off the spring game sales over last year, not including apparel. That is one day of practice! You guys are really poor at balance sheets if you wouldn't pay a coach like Jim or Urban even 5 million more per year over another average coach. You will easily double that money on advertising alone and donations from alumni.
salary levels were compared to the 1960's. This has been brought up forever and you can tie it to changes in television over the years and the number of people viewing games.

back then, and the commitment to those expenditures leaves the AD with no choice but to run a highly profitable football program.
The UM Football program brings in ~$85 million in revenues on $25 million in expenditures for a $60 million profit for the football program alone at last count. (Pre Harbaugh.)
But guess what? That profit isn't accumulating as cash in the bank. Rather, it has already been committed to Taj Mahal facilities for non-revenue sports as well as for the football team. So the athletic department HAS BECOME DEPENDENT UPON that $60 million annual profit that it funnels elsewhere.
And how do you keep generating a $60 million annual profit? Not with the product that Hoke was putting on the field. Coaches like Jim Harbaugh are a VERY SCARCE resource. Filling his position with "some other guy" from the ranks of college coaches wouldn't protect that $60 million annual profit.
I will say that when I saw the title of the thread initially, I first thought "Making a coach appear taller is a very OSU thing indeed...", but engrossed in spring practice as he is at the moment, he communicated his feelings in an extremely boilerplate statement. From CBS:
"I am honored to serve as football coach at The Ohio State University and to represent this great university," said Meyer in a release. "It is a privilege to coach and mentor the young men in this program, and I want to thank President Drake and Mr. Smith for their support and their trust in me."
I am sure that President Drake is relieve that, by extension, his own job is safe for the time being.
He's worth even more than that
urban won't be coaching at OSU in 2020
In case you're keeping track....
urban will try his luck in the nfl sooner rather than later
There is no way Meyer tries his hand at the NFL. In the NFL you can't oversign, bend rules, and treat people like shit. Urban is a college coach all the way. In the NFL there is a level playing field, Urban would have health problems and family issues halfway through his first season.
I would love to see him in the NFL though, for no other reason than him getting pissed off every second when he realizes he isn't the worlds greatest nfl coach.
MEYER is a sleeve and everyone knows he asked to be extended so when he bolts for the NFL or the PHANTOM ILLNESS. They will either pay him more to stay or have to pay him the full amount. Here in Cali its speculated that he is looking around at the NFL and had his contract language changed to if he leaves he still gets paid. OSU jumped at the chance to change it to keep him as they are riding high off the championship just won....
You got like, you know, evidence or a source?
