Basically this just happened to Urban Meijer.

Is that your avatar in the picture? Because if not, they are dead on for identical twins.
February 17th, 2012 at 5:00 PM ^
You're too new to know this, but his avatar comes from a banner contest brian held a few years ago. One of the submissions was the naked guy, whose head is featured in that avatar.

That is the funniest GIF I've ever seen. I'm still laughing.
February 17th, 2012 at 4:16 PM ^
He looked SO excited to eat that cone too.
February 17th, 2012 at 5:59 PM ^
That shit is real damn funny until it happens to you.
February 17th, 2012 at 3:52 PM ^
Suck on that Buckeyes.
February 17th, 2012 at 3:53 PM ^
when you are allowed to oversign coaches.
February 17th, 2012 at 3:53 PM ^
He's a former M coach, who's son was a walk-on. There is something dirty about him being at Ohio.
February 17th, 2012 at 3:54 PM ^
So I guess my biggest question is how (and why) he lasted a month.
February 17th, 2012 at 4:01 PM ^
In my experience it really takes a full month to really get to know how your boss operates and what kind of person he truly is.
February 17th, 2012 at 4:53 PM ^
I was hoping he was a mole and would eventually testify before the NCAA Infractions committee.
February 17th, 2012 at 11:52 PM ^
Gotta keep those paychecks coming son, gas tanks cost money...
February 17th, 2012 at 3:54 PM ^
Great first comment on the article - Ohio fan stating it's not a huge loss because he once coached at Michigan and his son played here.
On a side note, good for Sheridan.
February 17th, 2012 at 3:59 PM ^
Good for him. Gotta jump at the oppurtunity.
February 17th, 2012 at 4:02 PM ^
GERG is available.
February 17th, 2012 at 4:29 PM ^
...you got my hopes up. Even if it were just for 1.21 seconds.
February 17th, 2012 at 4:05 PM ^
HAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey OP, in the future please don't capitalize ohio!

MGoSabotage at work.

Ohio news! Happy Friday to everyone!
February 17th, 2012 at 4:24 PM ^
...buckeyers to the buccaneers. An eye for an eer? There's gotta be a pun in there somewhere.
February 17th, 2012 at 4:29 PM ^
They took Bill Sheridan on a tour of Columbus and he stared long into eyes of his future team's fans....
....and he was thoroughly horrified.
February 17th, 2012 at 8:23 PM ^
buckeye fan why would you wear a 10 gallon hat or an indian headress? what do those two things have to do with a tree nut? dumbasses.
February 17th, 2012 at 4:39 PM ^
It sort of creeped me out that a former Wolverine coach was going to be working for them. I think they have a duplicate defensive coordinator or two down there, one of them can pick up the slack.
February 17th, 2012 at 4:39 PM ^
Hmmm DB coach of OSU to DC of an NFL team, quite a promotion if I say so myself
February 17th, 2012 at 4:42 PM ^
I thought he was required to take a year off to "spend with his family" and address "health issues" before jumping to a better job?
February 17th, 2012 at 5:06 PM ^
From the article: "In an interview with The Lantern, Sheridan said there was not much difference between coaching college football, and coaching in the NFL."
Interesting ... Greg Mattison has said he sees quite a difference. If I remember correctly, Mattison indicated that in the pros is all about scheme, while in college there's far more coaching fundamentals and technique ... something Mattison expressed some satisfaction in doing.
February 17th, 2012 at 5:27 PM ^
What Sheridan meant was the players at Ohio State and the players in the NFL both play for pay.
February 17th, 2012 at 5:31 PM ^
Interesting. I wonder if there was something particular to the Bucs job that he felt he needed to apply while it was avail, or if OSU was always going to be a "safety" job for him & he was going to be gunning to get back to the NFL no matter what
February 17th, 2012 at 6:05 PM ^
All along he had wanted to coach in Tampa Bay, but neglected to notice that the first job opening he applied for was for the Bucks, not the Bucs.
February 17th, 2012 at 8:46 PM ^

He just couldn't bring himself to recruit for Ohio. He's an honest guy and he just wasn't comfortable lying to recruits about the benefits of Ohio when he darn well knows there aren't any. Way to go, Bill!
February 17th, 2012 at 11:36 PM ^
Hand, Jerry. He's got it in spades.
February 18th, 2012 at 12:07 AM ^
It was never really Sheridan. Somewhere in Columbus there is a secret laboratory with a bunch of giggling mad scientists cloning Michigan coaches. Obviously they don't have the ability to "dumb 'em down" enough to stay.

I've always found it odd when coaches end up at rival schools later in their careers. Sheridan was especially odd because he has such a strong past with Michigan. For those who don't know, he started his college coaching career here as a grad assistant, then moved up the college coaching ranks with short stints at both Michigan State (under Saban) and Notre Dame before coming back here for three years as an assistant. Plus, you gotta figure he and his family rooted for Michigan when Nick was here. To me that seems like at least eight years of being directly on one side of The War, and then switching sides. I know a job is a job, but dang coaching is a mercenary business.
