📡 Urban Meyer to teach character & leadership course at Ohio State

[TerryP]

Urban Meyer says he plans to stay connected to the Ohio State University after coaching the Buckeyes for the final time in the Rose Bowl on Jan 1.

In a one-on-one interview with 10TV's Dom Tiberi, Meyer said he will be co-teaching a character and leadership course at Fisher College of Business at Ohio State.

Meyer also said he plans to work with Athletic Director Gene Smith in some capacity after his OSU coaching duties conclude.

Ryan Day, current co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, will assume head coaching duties following the Rose Bowl matchup between Ohio State and Washington.

1 or 2 years at most... aU will make an offer to him when they fire Gus. They want a "Saban" and I bet they back the Money Wagon up to Urban to try and get him on board.

 

[planomateo]

Wow.

How many years does he need to collect retirement from Ohio would be my first question.

 

[sportsdame]

What a joke...

I wish Urban the best of health. I might be a great guy away from football but he sure comes off as an azzhole as a coach.

 

[XXL TideFan]

Waaaaahaaaahaaahaaahaa...........that my friends is irony.

 

[saturdaysarebetter]

Easy A for Ohio State football players.

 

[Bamabww]

It did say he was co-teaching with someone else. He’s probably serving as the “example of how to not have a good character” teacher.

I had to click on the website to make sure it wasn't an article from The Onion.

You are considered an Ohio State retiree if you are eligible to receive an OPERS or STRS benefit and at the time of retirement you have 10 years of continuous Ohio State service in a regular appointment of at least a 50% FTE.

Preparing to Retire - Human Resources at Ohio State

He can collect a benefit before that since they vest at 5 and 10 years but for full retirement it appears to be 10 of at least half time work. Hence co-teaching I bet.

So he'll need to stick around through 2023. Can't see it happening.

If it's the State employment system and not the school, he could have two or even four extra years in with two years as a GA at OSU under Earl Bruce, and two years as Bowling Green's HC (if it is a public institution). EDIT - Bowling Green is a state institution.

Kinda what I was thinking when I posted his coaching career earlier, but the continuous 10 years requirement that @rocknthefreeworld changes that.

I think the 10 years of continuous Ohio State service requirement would actually require CONTINUOUS service...

Good ole Urban....he has quite a history....
.... @94 Grad has him in AU..... might.... but he might get into the pregame stuff with espn.... thats much less stressful

 

[rick4bama]

Would be and easy A maybe!

 

[Elderfalsedemigod]

Students who sign up for this class and the "Art Briles When No Means No" course will receive an extra half credit

He is not collecting retirement from Ohio yet bc he does not have time. Under the old retirement system he had to work 30 years and retire at any age but the new system (which is in effect now) you have to have 30 years and be aged 60.
