Ohio State University's remarkable 2012 season--and the beginning of a new era at the Big Ten school—are recalled in this fascinating account. It tells the story of Urban Meyer, who accepted the job as head coach at Ohio State just before the NCAA banned the Buckeyes from postseason play in 2012, rendering them ineligible for the Big Ten Championship and bowl games. Meyer ultimately rose to the challenge of motivating a group of players to commit to the program despite the ban, and the book recounts what turned out to be one of the most remarkable seasons in Ohio State's 123-year history. Filled with never-before-revealed details about Meyer and the 2012 season, this surprising and entertaining record provides a complete picture of the new age at Ohio State.

...they come out with another one! That's okay - it's so great to see him enjoying books, having struggled a bit in school and leaving him with the firm belief that he "hated" reading. Beginning with our first Christmas together, in hopes of dispelling that belief, I started purchasing one football, one basketball and one baseball book as gifts, and - with rare exception - he has absolutely gobbled them up! This was his first pick among the choices he had this year (the book-buying has actually increased over the years), and the 5 star rating is from him - he thoroughly enjoyed it.
The book gets you right into the Ohio State Football Team from the events leading up to the hiring of coach Meyer to the entire 2012 season. It takes you behind the scenes. A must read for every Ohio State Fan or any "Football Nut".
This a MUST read for any Buckeye fan! Lets you know what went on behind the scenes from the firing of Tres to the final victory to cap off the perfect season and everything in between. Buy it for ALL your Buckeye friends!!!
Great Read; lots of good info on Urban's coaching background (not too detailed, but informative) plus the details and behind the scenes stuff of him getting hired by OSU as well as his assistance and recruiting that firs year; the contract w/ his family; his wife's reluctance to changing schools. Each game is detailed with behind the scenes stories that help you fell like you are there. A must read for every Buckey Fane
Columbus Dispatch reporter Bill Rabinowitz's BUCKEYE REBIRTH is an excellent behind the scenes account of Urban Meyer's first season as OSU coach and the improbable 12-0 season that resulted. The strenrgth of the book is Meyer's honesty in accessing how poorly the team at the beginning of the year and how proud he was in how much it improved by the end of the year. Each game is a chapter with Meyer almost always being the centerpiece. Prominent among the players are John Simon, Zach Boren, Kenny Guiten, Reid Fragal, Nate Williams and C.J. Barnett.The one person that Rabinowitz only covers in the beginning is AD Gene Smith, who was furious that the NCAA assigned the penalty that it did. But, what Rabinowitz doesn't mention is that Smith's fury was probably also with himself for not recommending a bowl ban for the worst OSU team in a generation. Still, he couldn't have anticipated the utter arrogance of NCAA president Mark Emmert in wanting to make OSU an example. But, to Smith and Meyer's credit, they knew that the thing to do was to move on, and that forward-looking focus would end up defining one of the great season's in OSU history.
This is an excellent book that gives us an inside account into the coaches and players who not only made last season 12-0, but are well on their way to doing so this year. It weaves between personal stories and football talk. I finished it in two days.
It is interesting now, mid-year 2015 as Buckeye nation basks in the glow of the 2014 championship, to read about Urban Myer's first year at Ohio State. Myer emerges from these pages as a special leader, and this team built a chemistry that few get to experience and enjoy in life. A good read for Ohio State fans, of course. But it is also a glimpse into the building of a successful team - coaches and players - led by an outstanding organizer and motivator. If you like great sports stories, this team,this season and this book will not disappoint.
Loved this book and learned much about Coach Meyer, his philosophy and coaching style. Rabinowitz provides insightful perspective into Coach Meyer's life as an outstanding coach, father and husband. I would like to read this one again!
