Wojo: Does Urban Meyer’s departure open door for Harbaugh, others?

Detroit — Be relieved or celebratory if you wish. Be skeptical of his motives and intentions, too. Just be careful assuming this is the end — for Ohio State as a super-power or Urban Meyer as a coach.

Meyer is retiring from Ohio State after the Rose Bowl, and suddenly there’s a gaping hole in college football and the Big Ten, and the task seemingly just got easier for others, including Jim Harbaugh. That’s the theory, at least.

The reality is, the Buckeyes are losing one of the game’s all-time greats, and it’s a huge blow for them.
