PASADENA, Calif. -- Had Ryan Day not emerged as such a capable replacement, Urban Meyer said it would have been tough to walk away from his job as the head coach at Ohio State.
"Yeah, I don't think I could," Meyer said at Rose Bowl media day. "Because there's too many -- there's head coaches here but you also have these teammates, support staff and everyone has made -- I dare to say one of the best, if not the best, top-to-bottom program."
For Meyer, it was important that his decision had a limited impact on the people he has surrounded himself with in Columbus for the past several years.
