Urban Meyer Will Co-Teach a Course titled "Leadership and Character"

[Vic Mackey 46939]

Seems like the perfect guy for this course....

Urban Meyer's first role after retiring from coaching will take him to an Ohio State business school classroom.

Meyer, who will retire as Ohio State's coach after leading the Buckeyes against Washington in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, will co-teach a course titled "Leadership and Character" in Ohio State's Fisher College of Business. Meyer will teach alongside Lt. Col. Charles Buchanan, a senior lecturer at the business school who also spent 15 years in the U.S. military, serving tours in Afghanistan, Iraq and Kosovo.

Meyer announced his retirement on Dec. 5, ending a tumultuous season that began with a three-game suspension for failure to live up to the standards of the university in his handling of abuse allegations against former assistant coach Zach Smith.

WBNS television in Columbus first reported Meyer's teaching plans during a one-on-one interview Thursday. The leadership course taught by Buchanan and Meyer will meet three times per week during the spring semester and accommodate up to 198 students.

"Urban Meyer brings extensive leadership experience and a unique perspective to students seeking to engage with top leaders," the Fisher College of Business said in a prepared statement. "The course will leverage Coach Meyer's professional insights, challenges and successes, as well as the military experiences of co-instructor Lt. Col. Charles Buchanan, to help inform students as they develop their individual leadership styles."

Meyer previously has spoken to students in Ohio State's Master of Sports Coaching program. Former Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel also taught courses while working at the school.

Meyer, 54, is also expected to begin a role in Ohio State's athletic department assisting athletic director Gene Smith. He said he doesn't anticipate a return to coaching.

Meyer has spent the past seven seasons at Ohio State, going 82-9 with a national championship, three Big Ten championships, seven division titles and a 7-0 record against archrival Michigan.

Yup. Get the guy with none of the requisite traits to teach a course on said traits. What me worry?

[Bama Llama 1447]

And he thought coaching football was tough.  A lecture hall full of spoiled, sneering millenials and MacBooks will be tough.  He hasn't exactly dazzled from behind the podium this year.  Whose idea was this shit, anyway?  

[runthebone 7933]

Sounds like one of those Andy Katzenmoyer classes. 

[DigglerontheHoof 21082]

Well, being that we are living in a full on Idiocracy...not surprised.  At all. 

[Bartles 769]

Ohio State is the Trump of college football...fully committed to the scam and don't care how obvious it is.

[Doc Reeves 6434]

Hmm... makes sense since those things are an illusion 

[Wally Fairway 5528]

Looks like it is proof of the old adage
"Those who can do, those who can't teach"

final line - those who can't teach, administrate

Forget it, Ohio State's rolling...

Meyer will be acting like a teacher speaking on a familiar subject. It’s a sham.

Meh, he was talking about Trumps college not presidency. Besides, I think the crisis in our country has reach the critical mass of it spilling into our everyday nomenclature. 

[Tex Pete 20196]

It shouldn’t spill onto this board. I don’t want to read that shit. I post on this board so I don’t have to read that shit.

I don’t walk around talking politics in my every day life, and I don’t talk politics on a football message board.

How about talking religion?

As in, the only thing more ridiculous than Urban Meyer teaching a leadership course is Art Briles teaching bible study.

Don’t really think this is the board, but whatever.

Got damn I would run over my grandma to get to that class.

If the reindeer doesn't get her first.

This really isn't that far-fetched.  It's similar to getting hackers to educate people on network security.

Figured Meyer would teach somethingmore geared to his personality, like Drama.
