The Man Who Knew Too Much

Urban Meyer is returning to coaching, and it's not with the Buckeyes.

That's super weird, since Ohio State was the childhood fantasy destination for the kid from Ashtabula whose father had a portrait of Woody Hayes hanging in their home. Bud Meyer's kid has that portrait in his home office today. Urban just doesn't occupy Woody's desk anymore.

He was a perfect fit. Ohio State's down years under Meyer would be banners in most stadiums.

Urban was not supposed to coach anywhere else. Rumors of his return were never going to stop flying after he retired again and no one expected otherwise.
