Ohio State's Meyer: No desire to coach in the NFL - for now 2 hours ago AP - Sports
DALLAS (AP) -- After winning his third national title, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer says he has no desire to coach in the NFL.
Well, for now.
Meyer spoke Tuesday morning at a news conference, the championship trophy at his side a few hours after leading the Buckeyes (14-1) to a 42-20 win over Oregon.
When asked if he would ever consider moving to the pros, Meyer said, ''Not right now. I've got a commitment to Ohio State and these players. I love what I'm doing. Not right now.''
Meyer has a coaching record of 142-26 in stints at Bowling Green, Utah, Florida and Ohio State. He won two national titles at Florida and, with the victory Monday night, becomes only the second coach to win national titles at different schools. The other is Nick Saban.

the country the speculation comes with the territory.
>he'll retire a buckeye.
He may, he may not.
He could bounce to the league and cash some desperate owners checks then come back to somewhere like Notre Dame and become the only coach to lead 3 different schools to national championships.

I don't think he's going anywhere anytime soon, but do you really think Urban's going to be there the rest of his coaching career? Has he ever stayed more than six years at any one job?
Again, he should have everything he could ever need in Columbus, and we've seen some coaches who had flaky reputations turn to homebodies when they find the right fit (Nick Saban.) There doesn't seem to be any reason WHY he'd want to leave right now. But you didn't think he'd leave Florida two seasons after winning a chip there, either.
I guess with Urb, I'll believe he's staying put when I see it.

that others lack.
there is no factual evidence to support your line of thinking.
from day 1 it's been nothing more than bitter rationalizations from a jilted fan base. Urban was never going to take a step down to go to OSU and their shitty conference...then it was about how UF would be better without Urban and how he would never achieve the same level of success at OSU...how he was running away from Saban, blah, blah, blah. We're just doubling down on stupid at this point.

I agree, there isn't. The same can be said of your assertion of him retiring at OSU though. There's nothing in his history to suggest he's going to stay with you guys for an extended period like Woody Hayes.

I agree actually. My perspective is clouded by bitterness, no denying that. Anyone that felt he wouldn't succeed with you guys however is a complete moron. I knew from the beginning it was trouble when he took the job of coaching a team whose fanbase I despise. You guys will win at least 1 another title in the next 5 years, maybe two.

It's factual that coaching in Ohio is very important to him. And that the highest level of success can be achieved at OSU. The motivation for coaching at Notre Dame (lol) would be what exactly?
Meyer jumped from BGSU to Utah to Florida as a means for advancement typical for an aspiring head coach. It's not like he's made a bunch of lateral career moves a la Saban or Harbaugh.

Saban: LSU --->Dolphins-->Bama
This is not bouncing around amongst lateral (or possibly regressive) moves to you? Seriously? And how the fuck is the NFL to College an upward move?
Harbaugh: Niners---->Michigan?
Talk about a regressive move.
Not to mention both coaches have bounced between the NFL and college (on the assistant and HC level) when as far as I know Meyer has never even interviewed with a NFL team and has never been a NFL assistant. Maybe deep down Meyer is infatuated with the NFL and his master plan is to bolt for the league at age 60 but there is absolutely nothing tangible, factual or in reality to suggest this other than your wishful thinking.
>We get it, you love him. But that doesnt mean you have to >make shit up.
Make shit up? Dude, for a guy that's whiffed on shit as much as you...u really need to chill out. Your boy sfmatt is somewhere out there and needs some consoling...go find him.
32. "so then wtf are u talking about?" In response to Reply # 31 Wed Jan-14-15 05:04 PM by 3xKrazy
do u have a point?
and I would call coaching at LSU, making a stop in the league and then finding your way back to a school at equal standing of LSU a very roundabout career trajectory and completely dissimilar to that of Urban.
Going from college to pro's (and achieving a very high level of success) and then demoting yourself to a loser college program is completely dissimilar to Urban's career movement.
so i don't know where you're getting the 'making shit up' stuff.
