Urban Meyer says he plans to stay connected to the Ohio State University after coaching the Buckeyes for the final time in the Rose Bowl on Jan 1.

In a one-on-one interview with 10TV's Dom Tiberi, Meyer said he will be co-teaching a character and leadership course at Fisher College of Business at Ohio State.

Meyer also said he plans to work with Athletic Director Gene Smith in some capacity after his OSU coaching duties conclude. He plans to still be a part of the football program but says the role hasn't been defined yet.

Ryan Day, current co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, will assume head coaching duties following the Rose Bowl matchup between Ohio State and Washington.
