The 54-year-old led the Buckeyes to an 82-9 record during his seven years in Columbus. : Meyer will vacate his role after Ohio State faces the University of Washington on January 1 in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. It will be a fitting end for the 54-year-old, who has coached the Buckeyes to an 82-9 record in seven seasons with the university, but has never coached in the Rose Bowl. Ohio State confirmed that Ryan Day, who is currently the Buckeyes’ offensive coordinator, will take over as head coach on January 2.
