The return of former Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer to the Fox college football broadcast team has been rumored and reported on, and now that appears to have a little more steam behind it.
Speaking to Tim May on The Tim May Podcast, Meyer said things are still very much in a talking stage. But the former Ohio State head coach did sound like he'll be back as an analyst for the 2022 season.
"I love Fox. I love their team and their guys," he said. "There's nothing that's been finalized yet, but I plan on going back and doing it. I really enjoyed that."
Meyer was part of the original cast of Big Noon Kickoff, the network's competitor to ESPN's College GameDay. When he left following the 2020 season to take over the Jaguars, FOX hired former Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops to replace him. Obviously, if things are still in discussions, no details have emerged for where he would be used or what his return would mean for Stoops.
Urban Meyer spoke about having the opportunity to talk about the best players and teams in the country on a weekly basis.
"I enjoyed celebrating those who play, celebrating those who coach it – it's a great game," he said. "Not being the kind of ripping people to shreds but just celebrating this incredible game, and most importantly, the players that do this game. I plan on being back in the fall doing something like that."
