I would be keeping a close eye on the urban Meyer deal. Ohio state will most likely fire urban. LSU will most likely be 8-4/7-5 this season bc of brutal schedule. I would be in contact with urban Meyer, and start the process to sanitize his name this season to hire him after the season. LSU immediately would be back. As a state fan though, I really hope this doesn't happen... the sec west would have saban, urban, and jimbo.
Won't happen. I think it will be a long time, if ever, if we see Urban again. Unless there is some way he can escape this and fig out a way to prove he didn't know about the 2015 incident.
LSU has big time money problems.
If I were Urban I would apologize and act remorseful, donate a lot of money to women's abuse and hope that it blows over after a couple of years.
I have LSU at 6 wins.Quote:

If O goes bowling he won't be fired IMO.
The fans will hate going 8-4/7-5 but they aren't firing O. O will be around a couple more years.Quote:

Meh maybe. Let's wait and see what comes out. It's not the 2015 allegations as much as the 2009 I think. Urban has now admitted to "counseling" the smiths after the 2009 domestic violence, and then hired Zach Smith again in 2012 knowing he was a confessed domestic abuser. He may be lucky to escape the feds under Title IX.Quote:

I've heard LSU has big money problems too. "They'd find a way for Urban" you might think, but literally less than 2 years ago the best they could afford was Ed O. They also had to pay Les $3.3M per year through Dec of next year. It would have been less if he got another job, but thankfully he didn't so they owe the full amount.
Combined Les+Ed payouts would be north of $6.8M for the 2019 season.... add in the price tag even a damaged Urban would command, and they'd be paying about $11M. There's no way they can replace Ed this year
And don't forget that they owe O 10 mil when they get rid of him.Quote:
