Breaking News: Urban Meyer is retiring. Considering moving on to work with the Saints. Which is perfect 😂. Love you coach @OSUCoachMeyer I shed a tear everytime thinking about the impact you had on my life and many other individuals. You provided tools for success. 🐐 #GoBucks

If Ryan Day even thinks about parking his vehicle in my RESERVED space at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, there will be hell to pay.

Urban Meyer addressed Ohio State team this morning.

I'm told room was quiet and collectively shocked.
Some key staff members were told they will be retained under new HC Ryan Day.
Guys like strength coach Mickey Marotti & Asst AD Player Personnel Mark Pantoni are vital to program
For the record, I’ve been on the Ryan Day train from the start and have absolutely zero doubt that he’s the right person to keep building what Urban Meyer has built at Ohio State. No doubt at all.

Urban Meyer does what Jim Tressel, Earle Bruce and Woody Hayes couldn't: Retire.

Several months ago I predicted Urban Meyer would step down at Ohio State this offseason, sit out a year, and then take over at USC. We'll see what happens next now.

Urban Meyer: 82–9. A 24–0 start to his tenure. 7–0 against Michigan.

The first ever CFP championship. Seriously, find me another 3-game run from a team of yours like Ohio State had to end 2014. You can't. It's the single best 3-game streak of your life and it won't be topped.
Congratulations @OSUCoachMeyer on one hell of a career! Besides my parents, you were one of the most influential people to touch my life and I’m appreciative of that ✊🏾 Go get that 🌹! #UrbanLegend #GoBucks @spinnershells @Nicki_07

Nothing but love for this man right here. Couldn’t thank him enough for what he’s done for me and my family. The standard he has set here at Ohio State will continue to go on and we’ll be just fine #Respect ❤️ https://t.co/2yaceXP3Hx
