As of about 3 hours ago, Urban Meyer is denying the report that a deal has been finalized for him to coach as Ohio State.
I've been hearing pretty much ever since Tressel left that Urban Meyer would be his replacement eventually. I always thought that Meyer would wait to see exactly what kind of punishment the NCAA hands down for the whole tattoo/memorabilia scandal before he accepts the job. It could happen at any time though. It's reportedly been his call the entire time.
As for the money he will be paid, I can see it being $5 million a year or more. The football program at Ohio State generates an incredible amount of revenue and that school is just pretty much printing money as a whole. I never really liked the guy much myself, but he is a hell of a coach. He won 2 BCS championships at Florida. If he could give us another one or two I could live with him. He is an Ohio guy too. He was born and raised in Ohio. He went to Cincinnati, and played defensive back there. He was a graduate assistant and got his Masters at Ohio State. He gets what the Buckeyes mean to the state of Ohio.
