The Chargers appear to like the idea of Urban Meyer as a head coach candidate.
According to the Athletic’s Bruce Feldman, Los Angeles has “some interest in Urban Meyer for their head coaching vacancy,” joining the Jaguars as the other team that’s interested in him.
Meyer stepped down as Ohio State’s head coach in 2018. In his seven seasons for the Buckeyes, he led the program to a national championship and three Big Ten titles, finishing with an 82–9 record.
Before being hired at Ohio State, Meyer led Florida to two national championships. Since his retirement, Meyer has served as a college football analyst for FOX.
Meyer has a list of health concerns, which could draw some concern. However, the positives that might outweigh those include his track record of developing quarterbacks and establishing a culture of excellence.
There has not been an official report of the Chargers planning to interview Meyer. But given their reported interest, an announcement should be coming soon.
