Former college and Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer strategies to return to Fox Sports as an expert.
“I love Fox. I love their group and their people,” he stated on The Tim May Podcast this week (h/t Ryan Glasspiegel of the New York Post). “There’s absolutelynothing that’s been settled yet, however I strategy on going back and doing it. I truly takenpleasurein that.”
Meyer had formerly served as an expert Fox’s college football program Big Noon Kickoff in 2019 and 2020.
He then took over as the head coach of the Jaguars for the 2021 season, a devastating run that ended after 13 videogames, a 2-11 record and a mountain of debate and drama surrounding the head coach. He was fired in December.
“After consideration over lotsof weeks and a extensive analysis of the totality of Urban’s period with our group, I am bitterly dissatisfied to gethere at the conclusion that an instant modification is crucial for everybody,” Jags owner Shahid Khan stated in a declaration at the time. “… As I specified in October, restoring our trust and regard was important. Regrettably, it did not occur.”
Prior to that, Meyer served as the head coach for Bowling Green State (2001-02), Utah (2003-04), Florida (2005-10) and Ohio State (2012-18), puttingtogether a 187-32 record, 14 bowl looks and 3 nationwide titles.
However, his time at Ohio State ended in debate as well after he was positioned on administrative leave by the university in 2018 for apparently understanding that his assistant coach, Zach Smith, had apparently physically attacked his spouse Courtney in both 2009 and 2015 however kept him on his training personnel and rejected having understanding of the events.
And throughout his time at Florida, 31 of his gamers were jailed.
Given the ordeal in Jacksonville, it’s tough to see Meyer training onceagain, though if he does it will surely be at the college level. So a media gig might be the 57-year-old’s finest possibility to stay close to the videogame.
