No, Buckeye fans, former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer isn’t returning to Columbus.
Ohio State HC Ryan Day lost his fourth straight game to rival Michigan in the Buckeyes’ regular-season finale, raising questions about his job security.
On a recent episode of the “Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show,” former ESPN anchor Jay Crawford — now with WKYC-TV in Cleveland — said Meyer could replace Day. However, Meyer denied the claim.
“It has come to my attention that there are reports speculating my return to the sidelines in Columbus,” the Fox Sports analyst said Thursday in a social media statement. “While I thoroughly enjoyed my seven seasons as head coach at The Ohio State University, I have no interest in coaching again. I will always be a Buckeye and have full confidence in Ryan Day, his staff, and every player that puts on the Scarlet and Gray.”
