OSU will be having a press conference later today to make the announcement official at 2 pm. Offensive coordinator Ryan Day will be taking over the helm once the season is complete.
Considering how the 3-time NCAA National Championship winning coach began his 2018, its fitting Meyer would like to give 2019 a fresh start.
The decorated coach’s non-cooperation in regards to domestic violence allegations made against his former longtime assistant coach Zach Smith, from his ex-wife lead to a 3 game suspension.
This isn’t the first time Meyer’s left the only game he’s known to due to health concerns.
Meyer’s six-year tenure with the Tim Tebow Era Florida Gators ended under similar circumstances at the Outback Bowl in January 2011. He then accepted a job at OSU in November 2011.
