Boy oh boy, did he make the right moves in his career. That's a great step up for him.

Wow, great news for Beckman. As someone who hammered him in the past, I have to say he's shown his mettle.

Good for him. That's quite an accomplishment, and I hope he does well. In the meantime, it seems like some people here thought he couldn't coach at all when he was a Falcon.

He's got a great situation there at OSU. They're building some of the nicest facilities in the nation and a state that really supports their football. His only real hurdle (which is a pretty big hurdle) is Stoops and OU. If he sharpens his teeth a little bit, he could easily have a head coaching job in 5 years.

I agree.
It's just a shame he had to leave every Ohio boy's dream job.

I wonder if Urban Meyer and Jim Tressel had any input into this decision with OK State? I wouldn't be surprised if they both made a nice recomendation for him.

........and at $300,000 per year it is a REALLY nice opportunity!!
Now maybe some people will understand why we have trouble getting a D-1 asst coach to come to BG in any capacity!
That is 2X what Coach Brandon makes!

That's rediculous. What is wrong with the coaching staff at Ohio State...All these coaches leaving for better opportunities...
Fire Tressel!

I just hope OSU knows what they're getting with Coach Beckman. They obviously did not go back into the archives on this site to find out just how bad a DC Beckman was.
Congratulations Coach Beckman!
