Coaching the Ohio State Buckeyes might have been Bud Meyer's dream job.
Urban's father was a chemical engineer by trade but he admired Woody Hayes enough to keep a portrait of him hanging on the wall. He didn't realize it at the time, but he actually kept portraits of two Ohio State coaches in his house. One was still a genial child slightly resembling him and living under his roof.
By the time he became the only candidate Ohio State interviewed in 2011, the Woody portrait Urban had acquired for his own residence back when Bowling Green had given him his head coaching break in 2001 had moved with him to three houses.
