NEW YORK – Urban Meyer’s decision to announce his retirement Tuesday left many people shocked that his time as Ohio State’s head coach was coming to an end after just seven seasons.
Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins, however, said he saw it coming.
“It wasn’t surprising,” Haskins said Friday after arriving in New York for this weekend’s Heisman Trophy ceremony. “Coach has had a lot of health history the last couple years … so I knew that he would eventually stop coaching. When, I didn’t know, but I knew that with the headaches he’s been having … I would tell him personally if it was affecting his life, he should stop coaching.
