Tim Beck prepared for the pressure at Texas
AUSTIN, Texas -- In his six years as a Big Ten offensive coordinator, Tim Beck won 60 games. Think about that. Whatever grievances Ohio State and Nebraska fans harbored about a coach they seemingly loved to hate, they must concede the guy produced results.
Why Tom Herman hired Beck to be his offensive coordinator is fairly easy to explain. Two men with too much in common who go way back are finally teaming up. What doesn’t make sense to Herman is why he would even need to justify the hiring of Beck, or why Buckeyes fans were so eager to see him go this offseason.
