Good to see. Now, Hank needs to recognized as well.
Well deserved and well done. Way to go #51!
By unanimous, does that mean Urban & Brohm received no votes?

Mason and Hall raved about the job Fitz and the staff did this year. When you think back about the adversity the team has faced, it is just a remarkable season:
Thorson and Hall recover from serious knee injuries
Larkin retires after 3 games
Injuries along the OL early including both tackles and a team Captain Guard
Injuries to the DBs including perhaps the best CB in the B1G
Playing 3 teams (ND, Michigan and OSU) who could/will be in the CFP
9 of the 13 games will be against Bowl teams.
All credit to Fitz, the assistants, the players and SMedium Spanos.

Well deserved. But think about this - no OSU coach has won COY since Earle Bruce in 1979.
Sorry Lou , I had just heard it. Heck another post or you announcing same would be OK.
Meyer? Pretty sure you cannot win if you are suspended for 3 games
Fitz was the easy choice this year considering the talent he has to work with when stacked up against OSU, Michigan, PSU...…. a no-brainer
That OSU dry spell (1979) goes through Cooper, Tressel, and Meyer. None have won the media or coaches
Congrats to the players, players' families, and the coaches. It's a team sport and a team victory. That said, I look forward to the opening of the 30,000 seat, retractable-domed "Pat Fitzgerald Stadium". It's a great pleasure to be an NU football fan. Go Cats.
With the amount of talent they have had, I am not sure any OSU coach would deserve it.
I like your list but will anyone less biased than one of us lay out the list and expound on his greatness? I'm not saying they won't I just want to read about it.
Nice post. When you spell it all out like that it really has been an incredible run. Let’s keep it going on Saturday.
So, even when OSU goes undefeated, beats the consensus number one team in Miami, a team that had won 34 games in a row, Tressel didn't deserve National Coach of the Year, let alone Big Ten COY? Meyer winning the first ever playoffs and beating the number one and number two teams in the country soundly? No award? Let's face it: jealousy is an ugly thing
Congratulations to Fitz, he definitely deserved it. The team could have gone in an opposite direction with the season’s start. It’s unlikely that an OSU coach will win it in the near future. Not when even if a victory over NU and a Rose Bowl in a one loss season is considered a disappointing year. I do think Meyer deserved it in 2014, but if he can’t win it in that type of year, then again it won’t ever happen.
He was unlikely to win it in a year OSU suspended him. In some other years he should have been a top candidate or the favorite.
