Urban Meyer Returns to Ohio State as Broadcaster, Reflects on Coaching Career
Former Ohio State football head coach Urban Meyer is making a return to the school, but this time in a broadcasting role. Meyer, who led the Buckeyes to a National Championship in 2014, coached at Ohio State for six years before stepping down in 2018.
Despite his success at Ohio State, Meyer’s name is often linked to coaching positions whenever they become available. However, he has shown loyalty to the school and his current role as a college football analyst for Fox Sports.
Meyer’s influence on the Ohio State football program remains strong, as he has been a mentor to current head coach Ryan Day. Now, he will have an even closer look at the team as he joins the broadcast team for the Buckeyes’ spring game this Saturday.
Teaming up with broadcasters Jason Benetti and Brady Quinn, Meyer will provide insight and analysis on the state of the team and the ongoing quarterback battle. This change in the broadcast team will see the absence of Gus Johnson, but fans can expect top-notch coverage from the experienced Benetti.
Meyer’s coaching career is nothing short of legendary, with successful stints at Bowling Green State, Utah, Florida, and Ohio State. He has won three national championships and multiple Coach of the Year awards in his 17-year coaching career.
Ohio State fans can look forward to hearing Meyer’s expert analysis and perspective on their beloved team as he returns to the school in a new role.
