PrintOne of the most beloved players in Ohio State football history publicly gave Charlie Strong his endorsement for next head coach of the Buckeyes on Wednesday afternoon.
Eddie George, the 1995 Heisman Trophy winner, stated on a Nashville radio station that he is pushing for the 2010 Big East Co-Coach of the Year to get a serious look at the vacancy left by Jim Tressel's resignation.
In related news: Eddie George needs to shut the f--k up. Like seriously. Don't reem us, bro, not now, not after 2007-09.
No one could blame Strong for bolting if offered one of the most high-profile jobs in all of sports...but we could definitely blame Eddie George.

shut the hell up, Georgie boy.
You’re not in college football anymore, and Strong would never leave us for one of the winningest programs in college football. Right? RIGHT?!?!

I don’t think Coach Strong would look at them for one reason. It has nothing to do with how he feels about the Louisville program, it will be the biggest mess since the SMU debacle. They will get hit harder than USC did because the kids at USC were dealing with agents. This seems like OSU admins and coaches knew all this was going down, so I think they will get the book thrown at ‘em. I don’t think Coach Strong would want anything to do with that.
Damnit I am a Titans fan!!
ad you are really pissing me off Eddie! more pissed than I was after your unexplicable de-railment following 2001!!

Why do these guys have to meddle?
Also, I suddenly like yoga even less than I did before.
Stout Out!
How is him saying who he thinks should be the coach meddling?
It’s not like he’s the athletic director
Charlie will only leave this program for a top tier job. OSU is one such job.
But how sexy would that be to him if they were looking at probation, bowl ban, loss of scholarships, ect?
We don’t know the answer to that one but, I would hypothesize that he’ll be here until a great situation, at a top tier school presents itself. He’s building this thing from the ground up and he just doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would bail before the job is done.
IMO

Meh...
Charlie strong won’t be the next coach at Ohio State, not after one 7-6 season at a Big East school. Also not when Urban Meyer, Bob Stoops, Mark Stoops, Jon Gruden, Mark Dantonio and even Luke Fickell are all Ohio natives that could potentially listen to Ohio State’s offers. Not to say that Charlie hasn’t done a hell of a job with what he has to work with but I really don’t think we have anything to worry about.
Plenty of other coaches out there
that have a lot more proof in the pudding…
Not that CCS could handle coaching there-I just dont see them hiring such an unproven coach..now if we BCS bowl this year and win said bowl game..Id feel pretty nervous
Is Eddie making a late play for Least Cool Person Tournament?
Mr. Rutherford, what are the rules on this?

Be careful.
cardscott5 will ask you why Eddie is uncool for saying who he’d like to be the coach.
Stout Out!
Fuck him.
I’m a huge fan of him because he used to be the star RB on my favorite NFL team but if he gets Charlie to go to OSU then I’ll hate him as if he were a colts player.
I just signed eddie george for the NAMBLA newsletter and TSF.com
In your face, Eddie. This just got weird.

I love that all the posts start the same way
“There are much more qualified coaches out there with more experience. NOT THAT HCCS HAS NOT DONE A PHENOMINAL JOB AT UL!!!!”
We know he will never see our comments right? All is well, he will not be going anywhere until a Georgia, SC (when spurrier retires), or LSU (Les is always in coaching talks) comes calling.

Forgot about the all caps button…… computer savvy fail

South Carolina????
NO WAY he would ever go there.
Nothing going on there. Spurrier may get them up for a bit, but…really? No way. Georgia either.
Interacial marriages still don’t fly with some that count in them parts also.
LSU…maybe.
How about he starts competing for and winning national chanpinships here, and therefore why go anywhere?
You obviously commented on this before commenting on my post below
I don’t know why you think S. Carolina is out of the question, or why you think they are having trouble….. Best freshman running back in the country last year, elite sophomore wide reciever, and they just picked up Clowney this year at DE who was the nations #1 ranked player. If coach Strong leaves it will be to go to a SEC school and those seemed like the realistic options – obviously Florida would be #1 but they have Munchak and will give him time.

I think this is just...
Eddie making a case for a late bye into the 2010-11 CC Least Cool Person Tournament.
IDK if this means anything but,
I got to meet and interview one of George’s coaches at OSU, Mr. Chuck Stobart earlier this year!
Sit Ubu sit, good dog!

Charlie will never leave us...
bwahahahahahaha!!! :)
I don't think HCCS is dumb enough to jump in the middle of the shit storm
Rick would jump in with two feet, knee deep, right in the middle.
HCCS is a Zen master who turned down the Jedi so he could couch the cards.

Eddie George
Didnt his mistress shoot if so why not. Actually Strong has to much integrity for that job
Let me quote Keith Jackson.......
……..“Fuuumble!”
Strong's not going anywhere until he gets this program back on its feet
I think he’ll be here at least two more years, likely longer.

I read this like
“No no, you’re not going anywhere, Strong. Sit your ass down.” LOL As if anyone would be that brave, even in jest.

LOL
I wouldn’t have, until I found out what a shrimp he is.
Seriously, I think the man has more integrity than to turn his back on the program that FINALLY gave him the break he had deserved for so many years. He signed on to do a job, and he won’t leave until he gets it done. My hope is that by the time he does that, he’ll have put down roots in Louisville and decide to make UofL his career. But whether that happens or not, he’s not going to leave until he has returned the program to national prominence.

I don't see it happening
Unless Louisville goes undeafeated and wins the title. OSU will look for a “bigger” name.
Plus, I like our chances when the Florida job became open and he showed no interest. Maybe a few more years and he is interested, but I just don’t see it in the near future.
I do not view our program as a stepping stone, and I hope you do not either
The LeFors/Shelton → Brohm/Bush/ eras are not a fluke!! We have all the resources a team could want with a recognizable brand, new big time stadium, amazing facilities, and a great location to snag recruits from all parts of the country.
Those eras are the result of the right staff being in place and HCCS has us back onto that path with the current staff he has, we have seen the beginning of the results of this with Bridgewater/Holliman/Rogers etc. coming in this year. I do not find it hard to believe that HCCS has found a place he enjoys and know he has everything he needs and can create a new legacy as opposed to picking up where somebody left off. I could absolutely see Chuck leaving if something perfect opens up for him – but I can just as easily see him staying in Louisville for his career as head coach and create something special…. because he knows he has everything he needs to be successful right here.

Louisville football is NOT in the same position it used to be.
The opportunity to not be a “stepping stone” is now here.
If we could only get the fans on board…and in their fricking seats on time.
AND STAY FOR THE WHOLE F’ING GAME FOR GOD’S SAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!
they dont even stay
for an entire BASKETBALL game…..and the funny thing is its mostly the blue hairs on the lower levels who vacate early. The magic 8 minute mark for most games, and ’round the 4 min mark for bigger games… Ive been witness to this since moving here in ’92.
Not in the same position it used to be talent wise, but everything else is there
I can’t figure out if you are agreeing with me or not in your response.
I am saying we have every resource that a coaching staff could want, and now we have the coaching staff to guide us back to the top (like the Lefors, Shelton, Brohm, Bush and DEFENSES days).
I think in the next 2-4 years we will build on this years class and really be a force to be reckoned with and if you can continue to go to BCS games with shots at the NC if we go undefeated than why leave to go anywhere else?

I don't expect we'll lose Charlie for a while.
First, OSU has said they’re not looking for a coach until after next season is over. Even if they were, I wouldn’t see Charlie as a leader in that race. Second, Hurtt passed on Auburn to stay at UL. I think that spoke volumes about the commitment he (and HCCS) have to this program and accomplishing their goals.
Stout Out!
Been mentioned here
I’m in Columbus and my co-workers actually mentioned this to me on Tuesday morning. I’m threatening to beat every one of them with the nearest solid object.

If you're not part of the solution
you’re part of the precipitate.

Who can blame him? Smart man.
