He might not want to come here. He is an Ohio guy. Has never left the state.

I can understand that. I love Mississippi. I personally would never want to live in ohio. If I'm already making $2.2 million in Mississippi, I doubt a raise to $4 million would get me to move to Ohio. I love where I am too much.

I'm not saying that is true with fickle, but if you look at his resume he has never left Ohio. I am guessing there is probably a reason for that

Replace MSU in my comment with any team outside of Ohio and it still applies.

I totally understand it too. I was just saying, that logic doesn't really add up necessarily though. My point is, even if he did get a job somewhere else, if OSU came calling there wouldn't be much stopping him from going. Or most any coach who got a call from OSU. Whether he currently lives in Ohio or another state doesn't make a difference.

How do we know we wouldn't just be getting another Butch Jones?

Would be a great hire.

You wouldn't know but you're not going to know what you're getting with any hire until he gets here and starts coaching. There is no guarantee with anyone that we will hire unless Urban walks through that door.

You would not move to Ohio for 2 million more dollars a year, 8 million over four years?

And I think he would be a great hire. If he can recruit I am not overly worried about southern ties. Joe had none and he recruited pretty well. Recruiting was not joes problem, it was culture and accountability.
