Falcon D-Coordinator Beckman reported headed to OSU

Word is that Columbus radio was announcing that Tim Beckman is taking a position at Ohio State on the defensive staff. Good for him. We certainly had our problems on the defensive side of the ball, but I don't think he was as much as fault as many feel.

Timing certainly stinks, but its not their fault its so late, since Snyder went to Marshall, which opened up the vacancy that is causing the Beckman hire, even if Beckman isn't filling it directly.

There were always two schools of thought on Beckman. One was that he was a good coach with an underperforming D, and the other that he was a underpeforming coach.

This would indicate that somene at OSU who knows something about football thinks he was a good coach.

Another AZZ.com poster has noted that Gary Blackney, Urban Meyer, Gregg Brandon and Jim Tressel all wanted him on their staff, and that ought to say something.

That's too bad for us, but congrats to Coach Beckman. He's a nice guy who deserves to coach in the Big 10 if that's what he wants to do.
