Eleven Warriors

Read somewhere that people think Ed is headed to Nebraska and not OSU, won't believe any of this until something is offically announced.

Nice. I'd really like Studrawa too.

How about a link confirming that Warinner in on staff?

Found article in the trib for Hinton to tOSU. All it said about Warinner is that like Hinton he is gone "to pursue other opportunities" and there was a possibility that he would be joining Hinton on Meyer's staff.

@ Rbuck: I sure hope so.

It seems to be popping up on the internets slowly but surely, on such obscure websites as this and this.  

Specifically, for anyone too lazy to click on a hyperlink (hey, I'm often that guy), posts on 1/2/12 showed:

Ohio State: We have confirmed that Tim Hinton will have the additional title of recruiting coordinator (in addition to coaching the tight ends). 

With this post as well:

Ohio State: We have just learned that Notre Dame offensive line coach Ed Warinner is also leaving to join Urban's staff. 

With whomever it is that runs the "Football Scoop" site noting Urban and Ohio State's football coaching staff to be "pretty solid."  I for one couldn't be more excited to grab someone so well regarded as Warinner.  Name including the word "war" and not "boll" aside.  It does also beg the question, as the aforementioned obscure website's lone commentator mentioned, does this mean Taylor Decker is back in play?  It would make sense, with the position coach leaves, he could use that as a door to back track from previous statements (not to mention with a former ND coach now also being, potentially, also a recruiting coordinator).  Hopefully with a O-Line coach in place, players like Mr. Diamond will finally become more solid so that we can start putting the bow on this year's class and start moving on to next year's group.  Anyone else going to be drinking in the preciously sweet tears of the M!ch!g@n faithful when our recruiting class surpasses theirs on signing day, after hearing about how bad ass the Missigan recruiting machine had become all year?  

Notre Dame fans crying about Coach War's loss.  Yes, Coach War.  That's what I'm calling him from now on (pending confirmation of hiring by the Ohio State Athletic Department).  Apparently they see him as a big loss.  One or two commentators mention him going to Nebraska, but they already have this guy, who seems to have a pretty good resume and have done a good job for the Huskers.  Barring something along the lines of this retirement or philisophical differences pushing him out, I don't see why they would be on the market for an O-Line coach.  This was rumored previously, but did not transpire, d/t some tie in with the O-Coordinator?

Interestingly, Rivals also has coaching recruiting info's, and it would seem Coach War is a good recruiter as well, having brought in two four stars to the Fighting Irish class.  In addition to this there is a "meet the staff" on rivals that sheds some interesting light on how he ended up on ND in the first place, having worked in various systems and whatnot.  He also has some Big Ten experience having experience at both Spartying and having instilled in his young charges what it meant to be a Fighting Zook from 2005-2006.  Coach War is a native of Strasburg, Ohio, so its plausible that he would want to come home.  Lesmerises seems to think the official announcements will come today, however still no changes to the coaching staff roster on the OSU athletics site.  

And he has his own line of sweet videos.  Someone please make a Bollman satire "How to Coach Offense" video, stat.
