08:30 AM ET 11.24 | According to a report, Urban Meyer's hiring in Columbus is imminent. [Meyer] is expected to be named head football coach at Ohio State next week, multiple well-placed university sources told The Dispatch yesterday. The sources said the only factors to be officially decided regarding the deal were length of contract, financial remuneration and when to make the announcement. Once all parties agree on the terms, the announcement could come as soon as Monday, the sources said. The 47-year-old Meyer, who won two national championships in six seasons at the University of Florida before spending this season as an analyst for ESPN, could not be reached for comment.

As long as players taking unauthorized inducements stop, then I think the Ohio State people will be fine with how he coaches. I guess that Ohio State guy that owns that website on "oversigning" will have to let the site go inactive.

Well, in reality. Urban wasn't really a proponent of oversigning so he'll probably become oversigning.com's hero.

... plus, my "oversigning" sarcasm was in reference to his $40 million contract.

Welcome back to Ohio Urban. Now please teach Braxton to get rid of the ball in a timely manner. And while your at it maybe a spiral might help as well.

LOL, yeah but taking a job with less stress will keep he from spending quality time with his family that he so desired a couple of years ago!!!!!
