Press box move was too late. ESPN story by Austin Ward
How did Ohio State not Repeat as National Champs?
4. A change in the press box: Given all the returning talent and the presence of Meyer on the sideline, it seemed safe to assume the Buckeyes would be able to roll right along without Tom Herman after he left his post as offensive coordinator to take over at Houston. But the combination of Herman’s instant success with the Cougars and the inconsistency of the Buckeyes after Tim Beck took his spot coaching the quarterbacks and calling down the plays from the press box made it clear that change was a far bigger deal than might have been expected. Ed Warinner had been promoted in the wake of Herman’s departure, but it wasn’t until after the play-calling debacle which Elliott called out after the Michigan State game that he was moved to the press box to call the plays -- and the Buckeyes rolled over both Michigan and Notre Dame after making that switch, albeit one game too late.
