Urban Meyer stepping down, Ryan Day the new OSU HC
- Thread starter onealcd
- Start date
This makes me feel better about our coaching search.
Heck ya.. don't think he was on the table knowing this was indeed going to happen.
Really? If OSU if offerring him HC there is likely not a program in the country that could have pulled him away. Not just of the job openings this year, but litterally any program.

Honest question. Do you think that Day was ever in play? He is closely tied to a program that just announced him as the interim yet again. I’m pretty sure that was baked into the cake a long time ago and he was in the know as to what was going to transpire.
There's no chance he was ever in play with this news. Meyer has been taking about headaches publicly for weeks now.
Interim? Full time permanent head coach.
There is no interim tag. He will be HC after the Rose Bowl.
Umm, he was most definitely in play.
Exactly. We likely forced their hand early.
I don't buy it. Unless you know some inside info.
RG kept this close to the vest, then all of the sudden a bunch of reports come out about him being the next head coach mid last week and then the next day reports come out about OSU retaining Day and him taking over as head coach in 2019 at the latest. It is obvious what happened.
All that to me means he was never a real candidate. Day May not have known HC was a viable option for him, but the OSUAD sure did.
This was decided soon after they made him interim and Urb became symptomatic. CU, nor anybody else, forced their hand. Smith snd Urb orchestrated this long ago.
If someone agrees to become your head coach they are definitely a real candidate. It just didn't work out in the end and we had to move on. Nothing wrong with that.
I hear SoCal is so good for your health.

Oh I don’t disagree, I was kind of joking about our luck.
I do think he was in play, rumors suggested as much. Rumors last week about Urbans retirement, his pay raise and coach in waiting cane out and OSU said, “no no!” You don’t think CU poking around had anything to do with OSU pushing to keep him? I do.
If that was the case, he never would have been considered a candidate here, nor would he have been included in any rumors about meeting w RG and agreeing to terms.

I think he was on the table. And used this to get a commitment from tOSU. If Meyer didn’t retire (maybe a year earlier than he planned) I think Day would be CU’s Coach. But still happy with Mel Tucker. I think there were about five choices that were all great choices; a few had more question marks.
The delay in the timing of the CU press conference is to give Urban time to make this announcement before being introduced as the new head coach at CU!
A ton of weird posts in this thread.
Oneil talks with such absolute certainty that I assume he is RG.

It is never all of the sudden
So you think he was offered the CU job and he said 'yes' only to back out later? I didn't piece it together that way.
