Meyer Named OSU Assistant AD

Sucks for Harrison who signed on knowing Urban was gone. Rumor was he did not like Urban. Looks like Urban will still be very involved.

After any nuclear apocalypse only two things will be left alive - Meyer and Cockroaches. A strong argument can be made that they are one and the same.

Fuck O$U. That place is a joke.

His official title is "Assistant AD in Charge of Coverups and Other Nefarious Shit". 

They really really didn't want Urban to... pull an Urban and head to USC next year. 

What an embarrassment for anyone associated with that school.  Shameful.

Wow.  Hard to beat spaert for sleeze.

They are going to find anyway possible to keep him involved with the football program. Now he can still talk to recruits while they are on visits and give advice to Day. He'll be the coach behind the curtains.

I’m curious how involved he’s allowed to be in the football team. More specifically, recruiting.

Any thoughts?

lol

Conveniently waited until after Harrison commitment to announce this....well done, and expected.

Just texted this to my friend from high school who went there for college (her father played football there)

Meyer named OSU Assistant AD

WOW!  OSU can't even pretend as to where they stand on the moral spectrum.

Harrison can likely get get a waiver to attend another school.  Shades of Mike Webber recruitment.

If I'm Meyer I'm going to USC and getting out of that shithole.

Can’t make this shit up! :-D

He is gonna help clean up the AD /s

Shady business.

Consolation prize, when we beat them he is in some way tied to that program ?

With him and Gene Smith, they can overlook twice as many awful situations! 

I thought MSU was ridiculous about keeping everything in house and over promoting from within, then osu goes ahead and raises the bar. Maybe the boys in Lansing will name Izzo president when engler slithers back into retirement to try to one up the buckeyes.

Anyone think he won’t be the one pulling strings behind the scenes for the football team?

Yeah, me neither. 

Well he’s also teaching his leadership and character class.  Andy Fastow heading the accounting department. What a disgrace of a university. 

Nobody really has mentioned that Gene Smith sounds defensive and passive aggressive in that article. I think it's pretty clear he doesn't want Meyer there.

They just can't quit him, apparently.

This is just weird. I hope it all collapses on them and justice prevails. 

Great example for the teams to follow....not

Misleading title to this thread.  He is being named “an” assistant athletic director.  Quite a few people hold that title.

this is so odd. No shame. 

Hilarious.

OSU has always wanted to be Bo, minus the integrity.

I was glad he was gone, now I have a gut feeling he's gonna be very involved with the football program still. Will probably be calling plays from a private room with a headset on

OSU just doubling down on the sleaze.

as Assistant AD, that should provide amble time to pork interns

hmmm

surprised he wasn't named President of the University?

they sold their soul to winning at football a long time ago so what does it matter?

might as well go all in with all your chips

I can't figure out if he has more dirt on them or if they have more dirt on him. Tis perplexing. 

Honestly doesn't surprise me.  That school has been shady for years and this just adds to the dung pile down there.

AKA chief recruiter and head football consultant 

OJ wasn't available?

Horrible people have one thing that allows them to keep functioning at positions of power and influence in this world.  They have conviction.  A staunch inner appraisal of themselves that reaffirms their perception that what they are doing is not wrong. There is a reason narcissistic assholes like Meyer( and others) exist.  They believe with all their inner fortitude that what they are doing is right.  When checked, they can either claim that someone or something else is at fault, or my personal favorite, they yell and interject louder than you.  

I realize I have to walk a fine line posting here (like I've been doing for 5+ yrs), and I also understand the Michigan natives are restless, but this is direct from the Wisconsin-Barry Alvarez playbook.  The guy understandably can't handle the day-to-day role of coaching a powerhouse football program (including the recruiting aspect)- he has a cyst on this brain. This move keeps him involved in the program, utilizes his abilities so solicit donations, and keeps him in the bullpen as 'the closer' if needed for a recruiting pitch.

Since he had previously ceded non-special teams play calling to Day and Grinch/Schiano, he's not going to be radioing orders to Day from the pressbox.  If something blows up (like Bielema leaving for Arkansas rather than coach the bowl), he steps in temporarily.

I know it doesn't fit the whole 'sexing coeds, committing gangland murders on behalf of Aaron Hernandez's ghost, domestic abuse ring in the basement of a Columbus-area pizza and/or tattoo shop' narrative borne out of football stagnancy you folks have to espouse, but hey, you still root for the Harvard of the Midwest (well, except for those of you who renounce your fanhood after every loss).

(Sorry for the last paragraph; please ctrl-v one or more of the following):

A. Fuck OSU and fuck you

C. How lame that you visit your rival's site

D. Why did you do that in an otherwise perfectly fine cooler?
