Urban Meyer will be speaking during the Opening General Session of BakingTech on Monday, March 4.
Urban Meyer made history in his first season as Ohio State coach, guiding the Scarlet and Gray to only the sixth undefeated and untied season in school history with a 12-0 record and also to a Big Ten Conference Leaders Division championship. He was named a finalist for three national Coach of the Year Awards – the FWAA's Eddie Robinson Award, the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award and the Paul "Bear" Bryant Coach of the Year Award – for his (and his staff's) efforts to turn a team that had no chance at a post-season into an Associated Press Top 3 team.
Meyer and staff built this unbeaten team that led the Big Ten in scoring and ranked second in rushing by convincing the players the most important thing they could do was win the next game; practice hard, prepare well and simply find ways to win, and by winning the team would realize its 2012 rewards. And by winning it would honor a senior class that included 13 scholarship players who could have left and played for any bowl-eligible team in the country.
