In keeping with the tradition of 2019, Urban Meyer has been named as a possible replacement for a coach that hasn’t been fired yet.
CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora writes that the former Ohio State coach is a possibility to lead the Cleveland Browns, a job that currently belongs to first-year head coach Freddie Kitchens.
La Canfora cites a “very strong bond” between Meyer and Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, calling the two confidants. La Canfora also notes that Meyer is still highly respected in the area for his run with the Ohio State Buckeyes, who won a national championship for the 2014 season under his guidance.
Meyer’s name has been tossed into conversations for the Dallas Cowboys’ job (still occupied by Jason Garrett) and the Washington Redskins’ job (occupied by interim head coach Bill Callahan). He was also mentioned in speculation to take over at USC before the Trojans opted to retain Clay Helton.
