When news broke of Carter’s resignation, Ohio State reporter Stephen Means made a case that the former head coach deserves consideration. He asked our Buckeye Talk subscriber what they would think of the man who once led the Buckeyes to a national title taking on the role:
Ohio State University will investigate former President Walter “Ted” Carter Jr.’s inappropriate relationship that led to his resignation, a university spokesman said.
"Whatever the vetting process is for finding university leadership, it clearly needs to be overhauled. But with that said, a certain former national championship-winning head coach should at the very least be considered to be next in line."
Carter’s replacement, particularly at a school with such a powerful athletic brand, will have to make sports a priority.
