The news this morning breaks with the reports that Tim Beckman will be the new head coach at UT. He has, apparently, been seduced into joining the forces of the evil empire, awed by their dark and yet powerful ways. Let the battle begin...
OK, really. Its hard to root against Tim Beckman. He's a high quality person and someone I think a lot of. Like pretty much everyone, he was maligned as DC on the Internet when he was here, but you can see my post below when he got the OSU job.
Note that Jim Tressel and Urban Meyer have hired this guy....there's a good chance he can coach football. We did have some defensive struggles, but we also had some really good defensive teams, particularly in Meyer's first season.
This is his first venture as a head coach, so it will be interesting to see how he does. There's a whole new skill set to being the head guy.
One last thing....note how he was not the subject of any "informed" speculation during the UT job hunt. Just something to keep in mind when we think we know what is going on.
Gosh Tim Beckman. If only he'd gone anywhere but Toledo....
