LISTEN: Florida columnist Pat Dooley believes Urban Meyer will coach again, names 2 potential schools
Former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer is once again retired, calling it quits after the 2018 season.
However, there’s plenty of speculation that he could, at some point, return to the sidelines. After all, he’s only 55 years old.
On Tuesday, Florida columnist Pat Dooley said during a radio appearance that he thinks Meyer could again return to coaching, much like he did after retiring from Florida:

“I think Urban will be back coaching again,” Dooley said. “I think it’ll take the right situation, which could be USC after this year or could be Notre Dame if Brian Kelly ends up leaving. … He isn’t going somewhere to rebuild a program. He’s going to go somewhere where they’ve got everything in place and you’ve just got to teach them how to win.”
There will be opportunities in the next couple of years, so it’ll be interesting to see if Meyer once again ends his retirement and returns to the sidelines.
He’s starting to get a rep as a quitter. He’s done.
I agree. He’s flamed out at his last two gigs and left both programs mired in controversy (though it appears that Ohio State was left in relatively better condition than Florida, but we’ll see I guess). I have my doubts that he’d ever be able to land a job at a major program. He’s clearly not a long term solution.
I think that if he wants back in coaching, he will get a major job. He’s won too much to be ignored, even though he’s a scumbag.
He has most certainly won a lot of games
The things programs will do to win a NC. They’ll even turn a blind eye to all the circus drama that follows him…
I think his options may be more limited this time around between his age and his drama history. And further reduced if he’s eyeing only ready-made schools, which would be about a dozen. If USC cuts Helton loose, they might want someone younger for the long haul. And I think ND might be leery of the abuse-enabler albatross that will always follow Meyer, as well as the ugliness from his Gainesville years. They seem to be a little more sensitive to to stuff like that in South Bend than most schools.
He’d be a perfect fit at FSU, though, if Taggart gets the axe . . .
Agree about FSU. They wouldn’t mind his shady background at all.
FSU is perfect for liar meyer
Meyer will be Dan Mullens offensive coordinator if he takes any job. lolololololol.
Secretly met with gators administration about taking over for Dan if he left/got fired in year 2.
But the fans and administration were to into Mullen now. Plus administration didn’t want to PAY FOR HIM!!!! But it wasn’t much more than MULLEN is getting now!!!!
But it’s a dead story now. Everyone will deny the secret meeting that DID HAPPEN!!! Started on the phone and ended with Mullen meeting the administration. But it went nowhere so who cares!!!!
He is ITCHING TO GET BACK IN THE SEC!!! I’ll bet when Saban retires VERY SOON. Urban Liar is the new Alabama coach. PERFECT FIT!!!! Wait and see.
Sorry Typo, I meant ENDED WITH ” URBAN ” MEETING THE ADMINISTRATION NOT MULLEN. I’M SLEEPY!!
According to SDS, I found out that Gawga is indeed the Bighest Loser on the CFB landscape. Spend all that money and get blown out to Texas? About as lame as the Prince Noogie. Who, after his borderline racist remarks in a past Gator story, should’ve been banned a while ago. That’s okay, you can keep getting these cold hard fact. Stay lame, stay not winning meaningful games. Three rings over here, GAWGA!!!!!!!!
Are you sure that voice in your head didn’t tell you the meeting with Meyer ended when he demanded that Zach Smith be part of the package?
