Go for 2 because we can't go for three.

Meyer Aims to Build Strong Core

By Brandon Castel

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Urban Meyer only spent one year away from coaching after a quarter century of walking college sidelines across the country.

That was enough.

The 47-year old got to spend more time with his family and recharge his batteries. He took a long, hard look at himself—at what worked and what didn’t work during his 10 years as a head coach at Bowling Green, Utah and Florida.

A lot changed in his thinking, but one thing remained the same. It was that one thing that was reinforced more than ever during his time away from the game.

“Hire great coaches, coaches of character and trust in alignment,” Meyer said during his appearance at the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association clinic.

“That’s my job as the head coach to make sure the alignment is very clear. If not, you’re going to have problems. Of all the staffs I visited, the one common denominator was alignment with the head football coach. You put all your agendas aside and fall in line. If you do that, you have a chance to be successful.”

Meyer got to visit with a lot of different coaching staffs during the off-season, especially when he was working as a college football analyst for ESPN. Many of them wanted to pick Meyer’s brain. After all, he did win two BCS National Titles at Florida. Others wanted to show off their own football knowledge, but the ones Meyer really grabbed a hold of did none of that.

Q&A with Ohio State coach Urban Meyer

“I’m loving what I’m doing right now,” says Ohio State coach Urban Meyer.

By Tim May
The Columbus Dispatch
Sunday February 19, 2012 7:43 AM

Since being named Ohio State’s 24th head football coach on Nov. 28, Urban Meyer has been a busy man — not that he minds.

The Ohio native hit the ground running for his home-state school. He helped revitalize the 2012 recruiting class, raising it from an afterthought in the national rankings in November to a consensus top-five group on national signing day Feb. 1.

Along the way, he hired a coaching staff and support group that are aligned with his ideals for the program. It’s a vision reconstituted, he said, by his year away from the game after he stepped down at Florida following the 2010 season, citing mental and physical fatigue.

“I’m loving what I’m doing right now,” Meyer said last week as he sat down for this conversation. In this first installment, he reveals a new approach when it comes to his expectations for his assistant coaches.

Q: Have you felt like a piece of taffy at times the past few months, being pushed here, pulled there?

A: I don’t want to minimize it because it’s here at Ohio State, but I’ve done it a few other places (Bowling Green in 2001, Utah in 2003, Florida in 2005). Lou Holtz said it best, that “it takes energy and passion to build. It’s fatiguing to maintain.” For me being here, this is all new, this is all energy, something that keeps going and going and going. So I love it.

Q: What’s the biggest lesson you learned from the other three places that made it easier to transition this time?

A: Thank God my first job was at Bowling Green because the mistakes I made there — thank goodness it wasn’t in front of 107,000. A couple of times it was in front of two. When I first got there, no one went to games. And it was my first rodeo. But you learn at every stop. One of the great experiences I had last year (working for ESPN) was I got to go see some programs I admire, and I have changed our approach a little bit because of that. I like to see new things, something you can’t do when you’re a head coach because you’re in a cocoon.

Q: What’s an example?

A: I went to Oregon. (Coach Chip Kelly) is a friend of mine. He’s bizarre, very bizarre. But the thing I admire about his approach is, it’s unique, but everybody (in the program) is aligned, from the secretaries, to the equipment people, to the coaches, everyone. Bill Belichick (New England Patriots coach), who is another mentor of mine, says this all the time and does this (sweeping motion upward with both hands almost touching), that everybody has to be aligned. I think we had a great staff when we went to Florida, and we lost some coaches along the way. That’s going to be my mantra here: If you’re not aligned, you’ve got to go. I have never fired a coach. I will do that. If there is something or someone not aligned in our program, they have got to go because that will bring you down.

Above All, Meyer In Search of Competitive Fire
By Brandon Castel

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Excuse Urban Meyer if he wasn’t watching Adolphus Washington’s jump shot during his stop at Cincinnati Taft back in January.

Meyer was on hand, along with defensive assistants Luke Fickell and Mike Vrabel, to watch one of the top players in Ohio State’s 2012 recruiting class on the hardwood. But he was not there looking for a two-sport athlete.

“I don't know how he shoots, I don't really care,” Meyer confessed.

“I just watched the way he plays, bangs, moves guys around. I like to see a guy's face. He's very upset when it doesn't go his way.”

Meyer and his staff landed a lot of talent in their first recruiting class together, including some big names down the stretch. They did not have nearly as much time as they would have liked to analyze and scout some of the players they signed, especially some of the late out-of-state additions to the class.

The one thing Meyer did look for in every guy hey went after was an insatiable drive to win.
