FLECK: First of all, I'm extremely humbled, honored and appreciative for the faith that President Gabel, Mark Coyle, our board of regents, our administration have in our staff, how we do things, the way we do things, what they've shown in me. Just want to thank them so much, and our entire staff. Thankful for the support of our university and our entire community. You've accepted Heather and I and our family with open arms, as well as our staff members. A lot of them live in the neighborhoods that you live in. Means so much, accepted us with open arms. Contract is really a result of tireless effort from so many people. It's not just about the head coach. The head coach is only as good as the people that work for them, period. I'm a perfect example of that, perfect example of having an elite staff, Gerrit Chernoff, our general manager, to Kirk Ciarrocca, our offensive coordinator, Joe Rossi, our defensive coordinator, Rob Wenger, our special teams coordinator, Marcus Hendrickson, in charge of our college scouting. I can go on and on. It's tireless work by so many people that allow you to be the best head coach you can be. I think head coaches at press conferences like this, you have salaries, extensions, things like that, but you're only as good as the people that you have. I have elite people. Most importantly on top of that is our student-athletes.

  • Big Ten Media Days Kick Off with Three Buckeyes Honored
    Big Ten Media Days Kick Off With Three Buckeyes Honored It’s day one of Big Ten Media Days in Indianapolis, speakers have yet to take to the podium, and Ohio State has already seen three players honored. The Buckeyes had three players featured in the annual Big Ten Preseason Honors list, all on the offensive side of the ball, making up more than half of the five players selected from the East division. Fifth-year senior left Tackle Thayer Munford, senior wide receiver Chris Olave and junior wide receiver Garrett Wilson represent the Buckeyes on the list, joined by Indiana quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and Penn State wide receiver Jahan Dotson, both of whom put up big performances against the Buckeye defense in 2020. In the West division, Iowa center Tyler Linderbaum, Minnesota running back Mohamed Ibrahim, Northwestern safety Brandon Joseph, Purdue receiver David Bell and Wisconsin linebacker Jack Sanborn earned the nod. Just one of Ohio State’s picks, Munford, will be in attendance and available to speak at media days after Olave was shuffled out for tight end Jeremy Ruckert last week. The Buckeyes don’t speak until Friday, though, with head coach Ryan Day drawing the closing press conference around 12:30 p.m., available to watch on the Big Ten Network. Thursday’s full schedule is as follows, concluded with player and coach breakout sessions after the final press conference. 10:30 – 11:00 a.m. Kevin Warren, Big Ten commissioner 11:00 – 11:15 a.m. P.J.

  • 2015 Bronko Nagurski Trophy Watch List Unveiled
    July 10, 2015 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Steve Richardson [email protected] 214-870-6516 2015 BRONKO NAGURSKI TROPHY WATCH LIST UNVEILED DALLAS (FWAA) – The 2014 Bronko Nagurski Trophy winner Scooby Wright III tops the 88-man 2015 Bronko Nagurski Trophy Watch List announced by the Football Writers Association of America on Friday. Wright, a junior linebacker from Arizona, will seek to become only the second player in the 22-year history of the award to win it twice after Northwestern’s Pat Fitzgerald in 1995-96. Ohio State end Joey Bosa, another first team FWAA All-America from 2014, also returns as a junior to challenge Wright. There are five FWAA second-teamer All-Americas from a year ago on the 2015 Watch List: Michigan State end Shilique Calhoun, and defensive backs Kendall Fuller of Virginia Tech, Jeremy Cash of Duke, Jalen Ramsey of Florida State and Michael Caputo of Wisconsin. Players may be added or removed from the watch list during the course of the season. Once again, the FWAA will announce a Bronko Nagurski National Defensive Player of the Week each Tuesday from early September through mid November. If not already on the watch list, the honored player will be added at that time. The FWAA and the Charlotte Touchdown Club will announce five finalists for the 2015 Bronko Nagurski Trophy on Nov. 19. The Bronko Nagurski Trophy winner will be chosen from those five finalists who are part of the 2014 FWAA All-America Team. The FWAA All-America Committee, after voting input from the association’s entire membership, selects the 26-man All-America Team and eventually the Nagurski finalists.
