It was so obvious, a blind man could have seen it coming
By George Starks 

Ok, was I the only person who was able to read between the lines? 

It was just over a week ago at the Ohio State-Penn State game when one of the best, if not the best, college football coaches said he had no intention of ever coaching at Ohio State. 

Even though the rumor was running rampant, Urban Meyer denied it by saying, “Ohio State has not contacted me on this matter.” 

At that point, Meyer gave himself away and it was obvious. Anyone with a half a brain, knew what was going on. 

Meyer was leaving the ESPN/ABC football family to become the new football coach at The Ohio State University 

How many times has the sports world heard a coach or former player deny that he/she was going to take a position somewhere and a week or two later, was accept that position. 

If his denial wasn’t enough to confirm what was going on during the Penn State game, the OSU game with the team from up north was confirmation enough, when it was announced that Meyer had asked to be relieved of his duties that day for personal reasons. 

I think what boggles my mind even more is the fact that when these people go on the record as saying they have no intention of doing something, do they think the sporting public is so naive as to believe it? 

Is that their mode of thinking? 

And here is something else. 

When he was asked, point blank, by his partner about the job, did he think ESPN wasn’t paying attention to the broadcast or did the parent company already know? 

Either way, there were no secrets being kept there.
