On Tuesday, Urban Meyer will take the field for the final time as Ohio State's head football coach when the Buckeyes take on Washington in the Rose Bowl Game.
It's the first time in Meyer's career he has been a part of the "Granddaddy of Them All," and he will likely be soaking up every moment he can. Before game time, however, the future College Football Hall of Famer had some people to thank.
On Monday night, Meyer posted a picture to his Twitter account showing him looking out at a throng of OSU fans gather in Los Angeles for the big game. The caption simply reads, "Thank you Buckeye Nation!!!"
Ohio State fans certainly have a lot to be thankful for themselves: In Meyer's seven seasons in Columbus, the Buckeyes have enjoyed an 82-9 record, won the 2014 national championship, and (perhaps most importantly) went 7-0 against archrival Michigan.
Co-offensive coordinator Ryan Day will officially take over as head coach following the Rose Bowl, at which time Meyer will transition into a new role as both assistant athletic director and a professor at OSU.
