Urban Meyer names a job he would 'absolutely' come out of retirement for
There’s been a lot of speculation lately that the Dallas Cowboys should offer Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley whatever he wants to make the move south to Dallas next season.
However, it remains to be seen if Riley even wants to leave Norman, or the college ranks in general.
On Friday, though, former Ohio State and Florida coach Urban Meyer joined “The Herd with Colin Cowherd” and said if he was offered the Cowboys’ job, he’d take it:

“That’s New York Yankees, that’s the Dallas Cowboys,” Meyer said. “That’s the one. Great city. They got Dak Prescott, you got Zeke Elliott. You got a loaded team. And I can’t speak for him obviously, I hate to even speculate because I don’t know him, that’s really not fair, but to me, that’s the one job in professional football that you kinda say, ‘I got to go do that.'”
Meyer then says he hasn’t been contacted by the Cowboys, but when Cowherd asks if he would listen should Dallas come calling, he said:
“Sure. Absolutely. Absolutely. That one? Yes.”
Your move, Jerry Jones.
I heard he’s going back to Florida once they fire Mullen at the end of the season
Prettydumb comment made even dumber after the way they handled sc.
Sorry, I forgot SEC fans have no sense of humor
next time say something funny
Yeah and we all still forget that Missouri is part of the SEC…
so easy to do.
Sounds like HE forgot that Missouri is part of the SEC.
I thought it was hilarious.
GOOD ONE . . .
YA GOTTA KEEP A SENSE OF HUMOR
“handled” SC. …I think you may be the jokester here, we’ll see come Saturday afternoon.
You must be one of the blind Florida fans that think Florida actually won that game. No, they didn’t. The refs gave Florida that game. You take away those two touchdowns that even Stevie Wonder could have seen should have been called back and my Gamecocks win that game.
**Sore Loser** alert
Way to many trolls on this site. It makes it hard to tell if someone is trolling or joking
Lol fire Mullen? Go vandy loser
Who is MIZ going to hire after the end of the season? Wyoming and Vandy? Lol.
Pruitt?
Now that’s funny.
It’s okay, I got the joke. But no, we wouldn’t take him back.
DEFINITELY not taking his azz back.
We would definitely take him back.
Have you seen him in a pair of jorts?
Honest question. Would a majority of Florida fans welcome Meyer back or want nothing to do with him? I’d like to think that Florida would stay away from him but with today’s results over methods mentality that’s pervasive in football, you’re never quite sure.
As a long time Gator fan there is no way I would want to see Myer come back. I think the program has the right guy in Mullen to lead the program.
Sure you’d feel the same about DM if that game had gone the other way in 4th qtr. …?
You need to move on. You lost that game and you will lose some more, get over that one and get ready for the ones to come
I think it’s fair to say a large majority of Gator fans would not welcome Urban back.
He was phoning it in his last two seasons and left the Gators with a big mess. It seemed like he was happy with the first Natty and did not have the same hunger. The second Natty happened more because of the assistants and players that were there and not because of Urban. Our offense took a big hit in 2009 when Mullen left even though we still had a lot of great players on that side of the ball.
So, no thanks. Have moved on from Urban.
96 gator is right about the offense dropping off significantly after Mullen left for Miss. State. Plus Mullen gets inside Georgia’s head worse than spurrier which is priceless in my opinion.
About 30-35 percent would, and they are idiots
Honest answer: not just no, but heck no.
With open arms.
Open arm?. Why?
This is Urban’s m.o. He takes jobs where he’s walking into a great roster recruited by the previous coach.
He won two NCs, which I appreciate. But he also did enormous damage to our program that cost us eight years.
Am I missing something? Seems he said he’d “absolutely” listen, not “absolutely” take the job.
He wants the job. This is him throwing his name into the hat. I guess that’s what you do these days. Rex Ryan did the same thing a few days ago regarding some job position I can’t remember.
One thing this proves is the Meyer will be back in coaching sooner rather than later.
I can’t see him being successful in the NFL. The only college HC job that he’d take is ND.
I think he might take USC.
Urban Meyer is not going back to Florida. He wants to coach football. My anonymous sources say, Florida is dropping football for soccer!
Mayer will be the next coach at Southern Cal.
If Florida takes urban Mayer back. He will fake heart problem after losing to Alabama.
Thanks but no thanks
Urban meter won a lot of games at Florida while Dan Mullen was offensive coordinator also previous coaching staff left him a lot of good players (his own admission). Once DM left he started losing with his own players. Faked a heart problem and left Florida a mess.
…and then went to Ohio State, won tons of games including a national championship. Meyer is an elite coach.
True but so is what he said
Tiger TD are you claiming he didn’t inherit a great roster at OSU? Pretty sure he stepped right into the exact same situation he did at Florida. Won big early, including a title, and then lost another great OC in Herman and severely underperformed with a loaded roster just like he did in 09 after Mullen left.
Saying he “Severely underperformed” by losing 1 game a year is hilarious. Especially when Saban doesn’t get criticized for not winning the national championship every even though Alabama almost always has the #1 recruiting class.
It’s obvious Myer inherited a great roster at BeanHeadU, but neither can you deny based on current body of work and list of recruits that he left a great roster to Day as well. Fortunately for my humpers he didn’t do so well post GatorbaitorU.
He’s a sleezeball. So is Jerry Jones. Match made in h3ll
How many times is this under performer going to retire ?
I hate he guy but “under performer”??? He won national championships at two different schools. That’s pretty rare.
Urban took a year off, after the Florida gig(citing health issues)and worked as a TV analyst for a year…traveling around and looking for new tweaks in offense, then to Ohio State. Although Notre Dame has always been his dream job(I believe all his contracts allowed him to bolt for South Bend)…but that job is not coming open soon and he is rumored to be the “choice for Southern Cal. after that job opens up. He not retired…not yet. We’ll see. He’s enjoyed great success wherever he’s coached(Utah, Florida & Ohio State).
If he went to ND I would die of irony poisoning.
As a die hard Cowboy fan, I have to say….. How bout NOOOOOOOOOOOO….
I’m not one that thinks Urban Myer is a great coach. He took over two very talented teams where anyone could have won. Good coaches examples are like Dabo Swinny building up Clemson from mediocrity. Dan Mullen same for Miss. St., Steve Spurrier same. Kind of easy to win with always coaching a top 5 recruiting class, and leaving like a wimp when you see you don’t have the players to “automatically” win most games.
If Dabo had not fired his OC and hired Chad Morris…then he’d have been fired the next year. Chad came in and installed his up-tempo, 85-90 plays per game offense(that he’d been taught by Gus Malzahn).Chad is not having success at Arkansas now…but he’s been successful at every level…high school & college(Clemson and SMU)…so when you say Dabo “built” up Clem-son, you are wrong. He is a very good motivator…but built the program, not hardly, ever. We must give credit to the real person who installed the “formula for success there, and it is not Dabo. It is Chad Morris, an offense innovator and rapid-fire play caller.
UM is a great coach period.
Human being, not so much.
Guess Urban’s brain cyst was another elaborate lie.
Urban is a loser. A joke. Had a “heart attack” and quit at Florida. Kept a wife beater on staff. Went to Ohoho State, won but couldn’t stay on top. Lied, LIED about his wife beater sidekick. Quit again. Dallas best leave this turd alone.
