No, he'll be back after a year or two. When I saw his wife crying like a baby after the Michigan beatdown I figured this was his last year there.

I will abstain from commentary lest I be labeled biased and jilted. lol.

Good for him. If you’ve got a damn cyst on your brain go take care of it.

Thanks for the two NC’s and for Tim. I’d take 40 Urbans in a row if we’d get the same short term success

Who saw this coming....

But, he has nothing left to prove. if he coaches again it should be at a small program where the pressure won't kill him.

Part of the reasoning for Meyer stepping down stemmed from his health. He’s endured painful and aggressive headaches as a result of a congenital arachnoid cyst in his brain. He had brain surgery in 2014 to help relieve the pain, but it had returned in spurts the past two seasons and, at times, limited him from performing the job with the required intensity.

The image of Meyer dropped to a knee and hunched over in pain has resonated as one of the dominant images in college football this season. Doctors had begun to caution Meyer about long-term risks.

.................

Meyer is expected to spend more time with his family, which includes one grandchild and another on the way. He may consider television work and could potentially do work with the Ohio State athletic department in some capacity. That role could include mentoring coaches and leaders, as Meyer has maintained a strong relationship with Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith.

I'm too lazy to search to confirm this, but I think this is a cut and paste (with slight editing) from some articles after his UF "retirement."

Lemme guess, he'll have an office at the stadium right?

So he finishes 24-1 against UGA, FSU, UT, and Michigan. That's solid. The only blemish was that 2007 "dance on the field" game by UGA.

So which school does he return with in 2020 after he’s “figured out” his “health problems?”

Didn't we always used to hear that ND was his ultimate dream job? Of course, they are undefeated currently, so that doesn't seem likely.

Meyer, Day and Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith will discuss the decision at a news conference Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET.

What a terrible look for OSU, you stood by him and took that massive black eye only to miss the playoffs and him retire at the end of the year anyways. If they had spine they would have fired him which would have earned them praise and someone else could have led them to missing the playoffs.
