While there’s no reason to expect he’d return to coaching, Urban Meyer is apparently being sought after by the Dallas Cowboys. Let’s just say it’d be shocking to see him return to coaching.
That said, interest at the NFL level is never something to turn your nose up at. It’s not even that it’s the NFL level but rather the Dallas Cowboys, arguably the most popular franchise in league history.
Meyer, who left Ohio State after last season, is well-respected, making him a perfect fit for the Cowboys.
According to NFL Network’s Jane Slater, the Cowboys, who are 6-7 after a stunning loss to Chicago in Week 14, have “very real interest” in Meyer.
Meyer has been a top interest for many teams in search of a new head coach throughout the past year, and as the growing frustrations with Jason Garrett grow, the shouts for a new head coach will become increasingly heard.
Meyer, who coached Ohio State from 2012-2018, doesn’t have NFL experience, but he did make a bit of news by saying he’d have to take a hard look if the Cowboys’ job was offered.
Meyer has three collegiate national titles and is a stellar 187-32 throughout his career. He’s the quintessential target for most organizations, and if there is one that brings him out of retirement, it could be this one.
Nonetheless, it’d still be shocking to see his return.
