Shelley Meyer (Urb's Wife)

[ORD_Buckeye]

At a certain level in corporate America, the wife (and husband in today's age) of the potential candidate is interviewed along with the husband. In an informal setting of course, such as dinner, to see whether she/he was a 'sail' or an 'anchor'. I have no doubt in my mind that Gene Smith interviewed Shelley Meyer in much the same way. She is as important to tOSU football effort as Urban is, and the above articles prove it. The 'behind every successful man is a woman' has been true for centuries. Now that can be expanded to include a husband, or significant other, I guess. Not surprising to me at all, and I am actually quite pleased that Shelley is getting the credit she deserves. Go Bucks!

Gene Smith had nothing to do with hiring Meyer. Gee and Robert Schottenstein took it out of his hands and did it themselves.

Did not know that. Thanks ORD. Different people, same technique. More important the position the higher the managerial attention. Looks like they made a great decision. Go Bucks
