Urban Meyer says negative, ghost rider.

Urban Meyer, who Ohio State fans have been creaming in their Scarlett and grey underwear over since he left Florida and Tressell got caught up in a lie, gave those same fans a reason to bust a buckeye all over their shower curtains. Apparently he had agreed to meet about the job with school officials. That led to another rumor that he has already assembled a staff to bring with him.
Now, Ohio State has a coach you say, and that, although they have struggled under Fickel in his first season, it could be a lot worse and nobody ever said he was going to be axed right? Well, I think the rumors may have just done that.
Meyer replied to a text message from Pat Dooley, where he squashed the rumors and told him(Dooley)that there was "No truth to it."
Now, in what I have learned about folks intending to take someone's job that the person has no clue is even going to be taken from him, that is the usual, almost cliche, reply. Of course Meyer is not going to say , 'Yeah, they are going to offer me the job, and I am going to accept'... They are going to take the 'news to me' approach.
However, the lynch pin is NCAA regulations that may or may not come. Then, once that dust clears, Ol' Urb will swoop in and take the job, leaving his integrity and heart issues with stress behind.
His 'new' coaching staff is rumored to include the current HEAD COACH Luke Fickell and current receivers coach Stan Drayton, so even though Fickell is not going to be the head man at his dream job any more, he will at least still be employed. That's one less republican rant about Obama killing jobs.
LSU's O-line coach Greg Studwara would be joining Meyer's new staff, along with NC State linebackers coach John Tenuta... and ...wait for it.... Kirk Herbstreit, current ESPN sidekick to Lee Corso, and former OSU QB, who has in the last year got emotional about having to move his family out of the state, die to death threats from OSU fans for his perceived back-turning by not being a complete Buckeye Homer on ESPN broadcasts.
So that is where we stand now.... It's probably something like 60/40 the rumors have some meat to it. My advice, go find Herbstreit, take him to Applebee's, get him drunk. He looks like he would tell everything he knew if he was liquored up.

For Columbus, it looks like a horse-shoe may indeed be luckier than a shamrock, when it comes to landing Meyer.
