My sources inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center told me
about this long ago but they told me not to spill the beans until after
National Signing Day. Below is the reason why Mike Vrabel was sent
packing surprisingly to the Houston Texans:

The
incident occurred in early December -- the week before the contest
against Michigan State in the Big Ten Championship game. Ohio State had
just given up 603 yards and 41 points to a porous Michigan offense and
barely escaped with a one-point victory.

Well,
strength coach Mickey Marotti ? who is absolutely Meyer's right-hand
man, was ribbing Luke Fickell about "not getting his guys juiced up
enough" before games. No, he wasn't making a Jose Canseco reference.
Marotti was suggesting that Fickell didn't get his guys fired up enough.

Then
Meyer walked in and joined in on the banter. And while we're told
Marotti's criticism of Fickell was somewhat light-hearted, Meyer was a
bit more serious. He told Fickell that he needs to do a better job of
getting the defensive players emotionally ready to go before kickoff.

Well,
just then Mike Vrabel walks in and hears this conversation. According
to an impeccable source, Vrabel went off. He felt that Marotti and Meyer
were going after Fickell unfairly and Vrabel screamed at both of them.
The shouting match escalated and it got to the point where Vrabel
actually put his hands on Meyer. Didn't punch him, but did put his hands
on him. (I've heard varying stories from two different sources: One
says Vrabel put his hand around Meyer's neck and pinned him up against a
wall; the other source says Vrabel grabbed the shirt collar and it
wasn't quite as violent as the other source is making it seem.)

We're
told it didn't happen right away since OSU was still undefeated at the
time and very much in the national championship race, but eventually
Vrabel was told he needed to find a new job. They decided they were
going to try and keep everything in-house and make it look like an
amicable split.

One
major difference in what we've been told by sources regarding the
incident is that the altercation between Meyer and Vrabel did not happen
just days before Vrabel left for the Houston Texans. In fact, it
happened over a month before Vrabel joined Bill O'Brien's staff. Like we
said, the incident happened the week between the Michigan and Michigan
State games. Vrabel didn't leave for the Texans' gig until Jan. 9.

Found this gem needed to share it.

I wish Vrabel would have beat the living shit out of him

I think Urbie just got reminded to check himself...because everyone telling him he walks on water forgot to tell the NFL guy...

As for Vrabel...time to control yourself son. As nice as it is to think about...there really is no job as the Office Linebacker.
