Summary
They say you don't want to be the coach who follows a legend. You want to replace the coach that replaced a legend.
However, Urban Meyer is absolutely a legend, and Ryan Day will of course be taking over for him as Ohio State's head coach following the Rose Bowl.
On today's show, the People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, joins Dave Biddle to discuss the following:
* Looking back on the Meyer era and everything he accomplished.
* Thoughts on Day taking the gig, without a national search being conducted by OSU. Is he ready for this job?
* Mickey Marotti and Mark Pantoni sticking around on Day's staff, which is huge.
* What coaching changes might Day make on the defensive side of the ball?
* Do we believe that Meyer will never coach again?
All of that and more on the Wednesday extravaganza.

| 1:17.0 | But then after that, the truth is after that, I think we all we all probably thought well think of all the times we saw urban on the sideline this year |
| 1:27.3 | Holding his head looking miserable looking thoroughly defeated looking like a guy who was just struggling and I tell you what the change in his body language that we saw going into the Michigan State game really leads me to believe that he made his mind up to change and call it a year after this in his head, you know, seeing him have a little more fire. |
