Following last Saturday’s debacle in the desert, all Ohio State fans could agree on one thing: change was needed.
After being shutout for the first time since 1993, the offensive woes which plagued Ohio State for the past two seasons were too obvious to ignore. For two days fans nervously speculated when, not if, Urban Meyer would pull the plug on Tim Beck & Ed Warinner as the team’s offensive brain trust, and who would take the reigns on Ohio State’s once-potent scoring machine.
Meyer could have conservatively hired an under-publicized up-and-comer, as he did with Tom Herman in 2012, and fans would have still largely viewed it as a win.
