OSU fans calling for Urban to return. Does OSU do the unthinkable?

To be honest, I've also seen a lot of Bucknuts saying they've had enough of him. That crowd wants Fickell. 

The key point here is that OSU currently remains a team built on good QB’s (not great, notice their NFL track record) and unbelievable WR’s (notice their NFL track record compared to QB’s).  Michigan has become a team built on the Harbaugh tree of coaches (John & Jim), and our offensive and defensive lines.  Sure, we got talent at other positions, but the above is our core strength.  
Day has chosen to emphasize a passing game that sometimes leaves them vulnerable to a team that can physically beat up their O & D lines with less overall highly rated recruiting talent (NW game this year as an example).  Until he changes his philosophy, OSU will continue to show this vulnerability.

Urban’s most successful teams (BG, Utah, FL, OSU) were built on dual threat QB’s (Fields, Pryor, Tebow), a spread O that RAN the ball very successfully, and he enjoyed both great luck (2016, 2017 for example)and their only historically consistent  B1G rival being coached by men of far lesser talent.  
 

Urban’s not coming back based on the mess his behavior created at OSU, or FL for that matter.  However, the real question is whether Day (or whomever) will change their football philosophy and go back to the one that made Urban (and OSU) historically very successful.  We’ll see.

We need to keep feeding the narrative, in order to sow discord in  ohio states fanbase .  Let their destruction come from within .

Does Urban really want to jeopardize his health again by going back to Columbass and risk getting Zach Smith designed dildo's thrown at him by the fans when he loses to a Harbaugh led Michigan team?

Yes.

They’re not going to fire a guy who loses one game a year,,,but the only one loss thing isn’t going to continue forever. It’s just common sense that OSU wasn’t going to continue being what they under Meyer indefinitely, because he’s one of best ever. You don’t replace someone like that without eventually slipping a bit. It’ll happen to Alabama too, when Saban walks away (unless maybe they can steal Kirby Smart). When a coach like that leaves, what they built continues for a while but can’t be fully maintained by their successor. Harbaugh took Stanford from nowhere to the top 5. When he left, David Shaw was able to keep it going for a few years, but now they’re back to being Stanford.

I wouldn't put it past OSU to rehire Urban.  I hope they don't because he is a better college coach than Ryan Day.

I like this buckeye fan post from 11 warriors.

Fire Day today. He was born on 3rd but got thrown out trying to run back to 2nd after he saw Harbaugh waiting for him at home plate. 

Not likely - Urban Meyer has shown that he is not a reliable hire in one of the most important ways. Coaching a big time program requires some sort of minimal public awareness. Some coaches simply don't get it (e.g. Mike Price fired from Alabama without ever coaching a game, Bobby Petrino's press conference on April 1, 2012 was a classic not-The-Onion you-can't-make-this-up moment) and Meyer has shown he is not dependable in that regards.

If Gene Smith and the rest of the cabal that runs the world-famous-OSU hires him back, he'll interpret that as a green light to run amok and do all of his old crap and worse. They don't have much in the way of standards but there are some minimal levels - Woody was let go, Tressl was eased out and so was Meyers - so minimal standards do exist.

But could it happen? Sure, anything is possible especially if the Wolverines say run off 3 or 4 more and OSU is looking at a 5-6 year losing streak. Greg Schiano got back into Rutgers when things got so bad, they were looking like BigTen West cellar bad, but that would mean a period of Wolverine success that everyone here could easily live with.

I know he would have gone for it on that 4th and 3, and I was really glad Day didn’t.

Oh, I think they might do it now. I'd put it at a 20% chance that Urban is the OSU head coach next season. 

We will know when Day loses for the third straight game next November… and they know like us that although Urbz is a class A scumbag pos human being he is 100% the game day coach Day is , that is undisputable 

This is 100% on the table, totally believable and realistic. And I would welcome the opportunity to beat him.

OSU fans wanting to bring back Urban shows just how morally bankrupt and desperate they are right now

I called it before as a bit of a lark should UM win and after I said it with 100% sincerity. Whatever pull he has left at that school he will use to get that job back. His comments after The Game said all I needed to hear. 

At the very least he will be a fn shadow coach if he isn't hired elsewhere. I'm talking full-on the guy making personnel decisions, scheme, etc. Illegal? Won't matter. It'll be Urban and his first move will be going back to a QB that can run. Do not underestimate how much it helps to not have to worry about that.

osu riding high and then faltering reminds me of the eastern proverb: a sharp blade must necessarily become dull. 

A wise old Buckeye told me when Michigan was in the midst of the prolonged losing streak that the rivalry was full of runs and the tide would turn. It has turned.

Football and losing can make people do crazy things but there's no way a school can rehire a guy they fired for ignoring years-long domestic battery and various other mistreatment by one of his coaches AND who got fired by an NFL team for kicking a player and generally being incompetent.  It would send an awful message about OSU as a football program that only an awful person can run it and my guess is sponsors and rich alums would be vocal enough to nip that in the bud.
