Golden is kind of a dong, but is a very good coach. Penn State would be doing themselves a huge service by hiring him. He also fits the culture surrounding their football team quite nicely.

I just don't see him coaching quite yet.  He will have only taken a year off, and all the family/health issues still exist.  I'm sure he's weighing all of his options and keeping open channels, but I just don't see it happening right now.  On the other hand, if Joe Pa coaches like two more years and then retires, I could see Meyer coming then.

I don't think it's too far fetched.  I think Meyer would prefer to coach in the Big Ten next time around, and and only OSU and PSU would make sense for him at this point in time in the conference.

I'm OK with.  But, what if PSU becomes the dominant/shady program of the B1G?  I don't know if I can take another program getting ignored by the NCAA and succeeding at our expense.  I've read somewhere(which makes it gospel) that the NCAA is just waiting for JoePa to retire so they can investigate PSU.  Of course I have no facts or evidence, but it wouldn't surprise me.  How in the world can any budding superstar player want to go to that dysfunctional mess?

I think that PSU would be a great place for Meyer considering he wants to run a clean program.  It was his superiors who forced him to run Florida the way he did.  At PSU, he would be free to run a clean program with no pressure from the AD or president.  

Also, they're in the Leaders division, so we would only have to play them twice every 4-6 years.

A man who goes against his values just to win never truly had those values to begin with.  He could've gotten a high paying, high visibilty coaching gig anywhere.  He made a choice to stay at Florida and that choice demonstrates more about what kind of values he had/has that anything else.

I'd be shocked if the Penn State job goes to somebody outside the family.  Too many great assistants there to risk losing.  Tom Bradley.  Larry Johnson, Jr.  Those are the guys keeping that program afloat right now.

that when they do those segments for Gameday where they are in Urban's basement he is always standing in front of a pen and ink drawing of Woody Hayes? I know he's got a bunch of other stuff on the walls a la TGI Fridays, but it gives me the heebie jeebies every time I see it. Remember, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you

Ohio State is the graveyard of coaches.

Since World War II, every single Ohio State coach has been forced out in disgrace.  Every single one.

Sure, Urban Meyer, c'mon down!  If he goes to OSU, he has not been paying attention.
