"Hope I fall in love with some teaching": When Urban Meyer opened up on his post-retirement plans after great success at Ohio State

Urban Meyer is regarded as one of the finest coaches to have graced the college football circuit. He won three national titles, two with Florida and one at Ohio State.

In January 2019, after leaving the Buckeyes due to health reasons, Meyer discussed his future in an interview with ESPN College Football.

"I've been asked to teach a class at the Fisher School of Business, and I'm gonna do that," Meyer said (3:00). "I mean, I kinda hope in fall in love with some teaching, which is a lot like coaching."

After leaving the Buckeyes, Meyer took a two-year break before returning to coach the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars in January 2021.

Meyer's stint with the Jaguars was brief. He led the team to a 2–11 record before he was fired. Despite Meyer's success at the collegiate level, he never acclimatized to the pro league.

Meyer served as a head coach for four different teams, Bowling Green, Utah, Florida and Ohio State. He compiled an incredible 187-32 record across the programs.
