08:21 AM ET 12.14 | Luke Fickell is staying at Ohio State, but his official capacity is TBD. Urban Meyer hasn't quite decided what to call [Fickell], at least in terms of a title on the 2012 Ohio State coaching staff. But Meyer did say [Wednesday] that Fickell will be calling the defensive plays, and he might have a fellow former interim head coach at his side. In football nomenclature, it would seem to indicate that Fickell will be, in some form or fashion, the defensive coordinator on Meyer's first coaching staff at OSU. ... But insiders say Meyer is going to want a defense run by consortium rather than dictation, which explains why he shied away from former Arizona coach Mike Stoops and apparently has zeroed in on Everett Withers.

How exactly does a consortium run a defense? Each position coach gets in a huddle between plays and then they have a vote for the playcall?

Sounds like he is calling him Defensive coordinator now!

Just call him mud.

His unofficial title will be resident scapegoat.Ya know, when things don't go urbie's way, he will need someone to throw under the bus

WOW, for someone who just witnessed their first win over OSU in the past 7 years, you are pretty salty!

Is it because you barely beat a highly diminished OSU team who you know next year is going to walk all over you on Nov 24??

Don't waste your time being so mad at OSU, get out and celebrate while you have a chance cause you only have 11 more months until you get back to the misery that is UofM football!

hahahahahahahahahahahaha, cough, hahahahahahahahahaha

Whoever said UofM fans weren't funny never heard of you! Keep em coming because I don't think the tattoo (correct spelling, don't worry because thats a tough one to spell) jokes have been played out yet.

btw, pretty much every computer has spell check so maybe you should spend a little more time learning how to use it instead of using played out jokes with incorrect spelling!

You obviously didn't watch the same game or pay attention to OSU's season or you wouldn't be bragging about a 6 point win over a 6-6 team!

Good luck against Va Tech, don't go letting our conference down any more than you have the past 7 years!!!

Oh and I almost forgot **** OFF!
(hows that for keeping the rivalry alive?)

You obviously have no real sense of the rivalry. Who won the lastest game? That's what 90% of fans care about.The other 10% will look at the total win-loss record. Who has the advantage in both?Oh yea GO BLUE

That Team Up North was supposed to blow out the Buckeyes but instead only won by six points? Not exactly a blowout. Miller just overthrew that pass to Posey by less than 6 feet in front of him. TTUN's real problem now is trying to beat Michigan State.
