--- Quote from: penguinpower on November 29, 2014, 09:17:37 PM ---I was listening to the Ohio State game today and Paul Keels hinted that they may lose a coach to an opportunity that could have him back at Ohio State several years down the road. He said he would leave it at that. I caught the end of the conversation but he may have been talking about Luke Fickle.

I listened at one point and they hinted someone, forget the name, may be taking the Kansas job.
ValleyTalk:
I believe they were alluding to Ed Warinner to Kansas, but I may be mistaken:

If so, is it not dangerous to hire a coach who has never proven his abilities as a recruiter? (OSU is one of a handful of schools that recruits itself.)

I hear that he is one of their top recruiters. I also hear that he was not permitted to fire any of the assistant coaches when Tressel didn't coach due to NCAA penalty. As I understand it he wants to be a head coach and he was handcuffed from the start the year he served as interim coach. I also hear that the players really like him and that he has taken 2 pay cuts under Meyer. II also hear that he and Tressel are close. This is all hearsay but may actually be true.
GOPENNY:
I have seen Luke Fickel on tv during games. But I met Urban Meyer at Cardinal Mooney a couple of years
ago. He was really nice. My cousin says that Nebraska's coach Bo Pelini was let go. Bo Pelini I think played at Cardinal Mooney. Maybe he would like to come back to this area. He sounds good.
DavedS:
Pelini made over 3 million at Nebraska--will probably end up in a big-time program or the NFL.
