Urban Meyer comments on return to coaching

Believe him?

It didn’t take long for a few head coaching positions to become available in college football as Nebraska has fired Scott Frost and Arizona State has already moved on from Herm Edwards.  A name that has been brought up by fans of both programs already is one that has won a lot in the college ranks, but is also one that doesn’t seem too likely to get back into coaching anytime soon.

Former Bowling Green, Utah, Florida and Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer is of course who I’m talking about, or as he’s better known in these parts, Notre Dame’s wide receivers coach from 1996-2000.

Meyer recently told On3 that he doesn’t see himself returning to coaching.

“I’m really happy with Fox and really happy with the lifestyle right now,” Meyer said. “Flying in today to see grandkids. I’m happy with what I am doing.”

Both of these things may be true in this very moment and perhaps they stay that way for a long time but even if they do, I certainly am one that finds it hard to believe Meyer will want the Jacksonville debacle to be his last run in coaching, even if the lifestyle is a grind.
