Urban Meyer was one of the best coaches in college football during his tenure with the Ohio State Buckeyes. From 2012 to 2018, Meyer went 83-9, winning an extremely coveted National Championship in 2014.
While Meyer may have been a good college head coach, the Jacksonville Jaguars found out that it doesn’t always translate to the NFL after hiring the now disgraced but decorated football coach.
The Jags moved after drafting former generational Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence in 2021. Meyer would lead the team to a 2-11 record before getting fired during the season after several controversies.
Now that Meyer will never be back in the NFL as a head coach of any franchise, it seems he is keeping his options open. According to Jay Crawford, Meyer may be eying a return to the college ranks.
Urban Meyer would be open to coming back as the Buckeyes Head Coach according to Jay Crawford.
