While he's apparently not enough of a tough guy for Cap'n, Meyer has zero left to prove as a college coach. Given that, his health problems and his occasional problems with complete honesty, I'm not sure why he would remain.

Never lost to Meatchicken. They put up statues for that in Columbus.
Well.
He never lost to Michigan as a head coach at tOSU.
But Lloyd Carr and his  Wolverines beat Meyer and Heisman winner Tim Tebow in the 2008 Capital One Bowl.

No one in Columbus cares about that.

Agreed, the man is/was one helluva good football coach. And so he's made some mistakes. As have we all.


Except James of course.

I don't think you fully understand the depth of Skips head up OSU's ass. I'm sure there are lots of others just like him.


Lots of others that aren't too for that matter.

Actually fans in Columbus were quite happy to see Carr beat Meyer.

I had expected one more ysar.

I think I actually predicted it would happen exactly this way when they announced he was returning...complete with medical issue and everything.

LOL, I see you don't have the TVs in the house synced up to the same movie again. Loved all of em though. 

Besides I was waiting for the train and don't tell me there ain't no trains this time in the morning. Tuesdays only 4:05 to Memphis. Almost missed it with all of Skip's yammerin. And it's botherin you? Well HOO HAH!

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who stand up and face the music, and those who run for cover. Cover is better.

Well, gentlemen, when the shit hits the fan, some guys run and some guys stay. Cappy stayed. Fans don't boo nobodies, I didn't come to The New York Times to be a star, I brought my star with me. 

So C'mon you miserable drunk motherfucker let's do it.

You sure you want to head down that road?

Meyer is 186-32 in 17 seasons as a head coach (a .853 win percentage).the third-highest career win percentage by a head coach in FBS history, behind Knute Rockne (.881) and Frank Leahy (.864) of Notre Dame. Meyer coached wide receivers at Notre Dame from 1996-2000.

He was 7-0 against Michigan as Ohio State head coach, the only coach in program history to finish his tenure with a perfect record against the Wolverines.

Meyer’s teams reached a BCS/New Year’s Six bowl game in each of the last six seasons at Ohio State. In his first year the team had been banned from the post season but finished 12-0.

He is 11-3 In bowl games (.786); fourth-highest bowl win percentage in FBS history.
He and Nick Saban are the only two head coaches in the poll era (since 1936) to win a national championship at multiple schools. ( Meyer and Saban are 2-2 against each other)

I'll spot him a couple of posts and a half tank of gas.


Just give me enough time to get myself a case of beer and a bottle of beaverpiss bourbon.

Ok.  Well, beware of hitchhikers and enjoy the sunsets.

2nd top prospect decommits from Ohio St.


http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/25459403/jake-wray-decommits-ohio-state-making-second-player-do-urban-meyer-announced-retire-following-rose-bowl


No. 56 ranked prospect Jake Wray decommits from Buckeyes.


Ohio State has lost two commitments from the 2020 recruiting class since Urban Meyer announced his retirement on Tuesday. The first to depart from the class was ESPN Junior 300 safety Lejond Cavazos, and now ESPN Jr. 300 offensive lineman Jake Wray has also backed off his commitment to the Buckeyes.



You always get this when a big name Coach decides to either jump ship or retire for health reasons like Coach Meyer is doing. How much more bleeding will occur only time will tell.
