It’s the gift that just keeps giving, even after the Christmas season has passed.
According to a report from Bruce Feldman of The Athletic, the Cleveland Browns have a strong desire to try and sway former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer to come out of retirement and head up the much-maligned organization. This is according to sources Feldman has been in contact with.
There were of course sources stating as much a couple of weeks back as well, but now that Freddie Kitchens has been fired, and the Browns and GM John Dorsey have parted ways, it appears as though things are beginning to heat up again in the Cleveland front office.
Meyer has been out of coaching since announcing his retirement after the Michigan game in 2018. Since then he has had his hand in several off the field projects and jobs ranging from being an analyst on FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff Show, to helping to open a new restaurant in Columbus.
I’m hearing that the #Browns have strong interest in former #OhioState head coach Urban Meyer, per sources.

It’s clear Meyer’s name will continue to surface with high profile job opening, but as we’ve said all along, what is unclear is whether or not his health and desire will allow the stars to align with anything.
We’ll be on top of this news if anything further comes of it.
