Ohio State’s game against Nebraska on Saturday featured Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff, coinciding with the 10th anniversary celebration of the 2014 national champion Buckeyes, led by coach Urban Meyer. Meyer’s tenure with the Buckeyes was successful, with an 83-9 record and a national title, but also marred by controversies, including allegations of domestic abuse involving one of his assistant coaches.
After retiring in 2018, Meyer joined Fox as a panelist but returned to coaching in 2021 with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he faced criticism for a controversial visit to his restaurant. Recently, Ohio State’s official athletic department shared a photo from that incident, prompting backlash and ultimately its deletion. The photo, which showed Meyer with a woman who was not his wife, was not initially recognized as problematic, given its cropped nature and lack of context.
The incident raised questions about Ohio State’s decision to feature the photo during a game honoring Meyer and the 2014 team. While unintentional, the oversight highlighted the complexities of Meyer’s legacy and the challenges of balancing celebration with controversy. As the situation unfolded, it served as a reminder of the fine line between honoring a beloved figure and acknowledging their flaws.
