Buckeyes Still A Step Away From Contending for Championships, But Getting There Was Always Going to Take Time

Patience is an uncommon virtue in the modern age.

This isn't a lecture or soapbox stand about that fact. That would be the ultimate pot-meet-kettle moment. My online chess Elo rating has been stuck at 750 (still firmly in the beginner category) for months because I only see bad moves are bad moves after I make them.

My fellow naturally impatient individuals – really any individual who knows of the school's athletic program – can see that Ohio State is an impatient place to coach a sport. There's a demand for immediate results, especially when the Buckeyes' football squadron is constantly in the hunt for conference and national championships.
