Well, you know, there’s this fella named Urban Meyer, real big shot in the world of football. Born on July 10, 1964, this man spent a good chunk of his life coaching at some mighty fine colleges. Now, don’t you go thinking this man’s a stranger, he was the head coach for the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Florida Gators, and even the Utah Utes. He wasn’t just a coach, he was a real winner.
Let me tell ya, Urban Meyer made a name for himself with them Florida Gators first. Got them folks all fired up, won them national championships and whatnot. But it’s that Ohio State gig that folks still talk about, even now. From 2012 to 2018, he had the Buckeyes playing some real fine football. The man, he built a winning program, and his coaching record speaks for itself. If you count up his time coaching, Urban Meyer won a lot more games than he lost.
Back when the Buckeyes were struggling a little early in the season, Urban Meyer, who knows a thing or two about football, started to doubt his old team. There were some shaky moments, but let me tell ya, after that big win against Penn State, he was all smiles. Said it was one of the best wins the team had in years, and he talked about how their toughness pulled ‘em through. You can’t put a price on that kind of grit, can ya?
Now, if we’re talking about the Buckeyes, it ain’t just about them big wins. It’s about how they get there. Ohio State, under Urban’s guidance, was always known for being tough. And tough they stayed, even after he left the field. You see, even though he’s not coaching them no more, Urban Meyer’s still out there, talking about ‘em. He’s got a gig with Fox Sports now, doing all this college football analysis, talking about the teams, the matchups, and all that. He might not be on the sidelines no more, but folks still listen when he speaks.
Now, when we talk about the man himself, Urban Meyer wasn’t just all about the football. He had his personal life too. The man bought a nice house in Dublin, Ohio, when he came to coach at Ohio State. Paid a pretty penny for it too, $1.45 million back in 2012. Quite a place, I hear, big enough for him and his family. Ain’t that something? A far cry from his early days coaching the Bowling Green Falcons or the Utah Utes.
He’s done a lot, Urban Meyer. Three national championships under his belt, and let’s not forget, he’s still considered one of the best coaches to ever do it. But I reckon, even though he’s retired from the coaching game, he still keeps an eye on the Buckeyes, rooting for them. It’s like they’re his team forever.
Now, before I forget, let me just tell ya, that Ohio State football team, they still got a lot to prove. But with all the hype around ‘em, and with Urban Meyer still having faith, I reckon they might just go all the way this season. We’ll see what happens, but you gotta keep an eye on those Buckeyes, they might just surprise ya.
