Fickel was a true interim though. He was never going to be given the job. I agree that Day seems far from a lock to keep things going.
Lost in Urban’s off the field issues is his unbelievable record at OSU - 82-9 overall, 54-4 in conference with 3 conference champions and a national championship. That’s a very hard act to follow.
Would've been 4 conference titles had they not been ineligible his first year there. That 2012 team was dominant coming off Fickel's mediocre interim season.
He's a win at all costs guy with questionable morals but man does he know how to coach football. His career in bowl games is 11-3 and he's 3rd (!) all time in win percentage. That's an incredible career. Too bad his reputation sucks
