One of the most successful careers in college football history is set to come to a close as Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer announced Tuesday morning that he will retire from his position. Meyer will coach the Buckeyes in the Rose Bowl Game on New Year’s Day and then step down.
Ryan Day, the team’s offensive coordinator, will step in as the new head coach beginning next season, according to CBS Sports .
The 54-year-old Meyer coached Ohio State for seven seasons, with a record of 85-9, including a 55-4 mark in the Big Ten. During Meyer’s tenure, Ohio State was also undefeated against its archrival Michigan.
But Meyer’s time at Ohio State was also marked by controversy, including an episode earlier this year in which it became clear that Meyer was aware of spousal abuse accusations against one of his assistants, Zach Smith, but had not acted upon them.
