In Reply to: Has Urban Meyers been discussed as the next UCLA coach? posted by Cachorro on October 10, 2025 at 11:29:31
Meyer is retired from coaching. Period. I'm told by people in Columbus that Urban enjoys his weekend job with Fox and his Xs and Os work with The Big Ten Network. He enjoys the preparation, which he can pretty much do at his leisure early in the week and the money is not bad either, $2 million with Fox. AND, the job is his as long as he wants it. Zero pressure.
Besides, Meyer and his wife are very happy and comfortable living in Dublin, a suburb just north of Columbus. And, both Meyer and wife, Shelley, are Ohio natives. That's a long way from LA. When they were bouncing around the country during Urban's early coaching days, I could easily see Urban landing with UCLA under the right circumstances.
Now? Urban Meyer can do better than UCLA and the Bruins can certainly find a better fit, assuming the administration wants to pay the going rate to win these days. That's the big question.
