Good Morning, Urban Meyer:

You are the head football coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes.

You don’t drag your ass into Ohio Stadium. You don’t sleepwalk on the sidelines. You don’t fail to coach Buckeye football players the way you did against Virginia Tech. And you never expect Buckeye fans to put up with such a lack of coaching effort. Buckeye fans are the reason you are their coach. That’s their coach. Don’t ever take Buckeye fans for granted.

Your SEC credentials no longer matter. If they mattered, you would be fulfilling your expectations, here. If your SEC credentials mattered, Ohio State would be the defending national champion of college football. Ohio State’s not even the defending B1G champion. At Ohio State, you coach Buckeye football teams to win national championships. 

This isn’t the SEC. This is Ohio State. This is the football capital of the world.

Buckeye fans are the foundation of this football heritage. Buckeye fans not only built the Horseshoe…Buckeye fans continue to build it:

66,210 (1922–43)
72,754 (1944–47)
78,677 (1948–57)
79,658 (1958–59)
80,982 (1960–61)
81,103 (1962–66)
81,455 (1967–73)
83,080 (1974)
83,112 (1975–82)
85,290 (1983–85)
85,399 (1986–88)
86,071 (1989–90)
91,470 (1991–94)
89,841 (1995–99)
95,346 (2000)
101,568 (2001–06)
102,329 (2007–14)
104,944 (2014–present)

Let September 6, 2014 be the culmination of your failure to get the fact you are Ohio State’s head coach. Start delivering the results Buckeye fans expect. Less talk. Less flash. Fulfill Buckeye Expectations, coach. Start earning your paycheck, Urban Meyer.
