OT: Mike Yurcich from OK ST to OSU?

Submitted by skegemogpoint on January 1st, 2019 at 7:13 PM

Lot of talk that OKLA ST OC Mike Yurcich is leaving Stillwater to take same job in C’bus. If that’s the case, one would think Kevin Wilson would be on his way out.

Did Yurcich beat a spouse, get fired for mistreating players, punch a player, cheat and lie to the ncaa, or get blacklisted by a fanbase? If not I dont see why OSU would have any interest in him. Now if you said Briles that would make sense.

Isn't that the dude Mike Gundy pulled out of obscurity from some D3 school in Pennsylvania? Why is it that we hire so-called big names who fail to live up to their billing, and other schools gamble on lesser-known (or totally unknown, in Yurcich's case) names who then hit it out of the park?

Yeah they pulled him from a D2 school in Pa. they went for a big turn under his offense and became more of a spread style attack. 

It always amazes me that michigan is going after the guys who have the background they do but then they get here and it reverts to the one yard and a cloud of dust that has gone on for the past few years. 

This is something that they have to change but there are so many shiny toys out there that could be had to give a shot at changing the things that frustrate the fans here but that unfortunately isnt going to change any time soon it appears

So.... day is prepping for the rose bowl, recruiting,  coaching the rose bowl and apparently hiring assistant coaches.  Yet,  all we're hearing out of Michigan's camp is we're losing Washington and possibly brown. Ohio state being proactive and going out and taking what and who they want.  There's the difference in programs right there folks.  Gotta go take what you want.  Dictate how it's going to be.  Don't wait and let it come to you.  Go take what's yours.  I hope Harbaugh has things planned out, but if not,  this sums it all up.

Michigan should go after Mark Helfrich from the Bears as OC ,  former Oregon coach .  Michigan would have to pay him quite a bit but we need to do what it takes at all costs to take the next step for this program

according to ESPN he is going to the other OSU, the one that has more of an impact on the michigan fan base. This is big because his offense has been good as ok state but he is under Gundy who is an offensive minded guy. He was plucked from a small school and pulled to a big time school and is now one of the up and coming guys on the offensive side of the ball. 

This is not good for us at michigan because there are guys out there like this who can turn the offense on a new path that doesnt revert back to the deer in headlights run up the middle that has plagued the michigan offense for the past coupe of years under Harbaugh.

Mike Gundy has been successful with lower ranked recruiting classes. Likely due to the mullet. If harbaugh goes mullet with visor/Oakley combo I think he airs it out.
