The USC Trojans have provided Clay Helton with his walking papers, and that means the start of the coaching carousel has gotten off to an early start for 2021.
And, if we’re talking about open head coaching positions in college football then you can assume that former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer’s name is going to come up as ridiculous as it may be. After all, according to various reports, things are not going well in Jacksonville (if that is, you believe it all).
Now, we’re not on the train that is steaming out of the station believing that Meyer would even consider jumping ship in JAX this early anyway, but because it’s’ out there and Meyer was asked about it, we’re bringing it to the people.
Meyer was asked about his interest in the Trojans’ head coaching job at his press conference on Thursday, and it was a pretty blunt, simple, and emphatic response. It was also rather predictable if you are a sensible person.
“There’s no chance,” Meyer said. I’m here and committed to trying to build this organization.”

So there you have it. Can we please stop with the Urban Meyer to every single head-coaching gig that is out there? I mean, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if something did materialize later down the road if things don’t work out in the NFL, but they guy is not going anywhere with just breaking the seal on things in Jacksonville, right?
