Urban Meyer, NFL head coach? Plenty of reason to believe it wouldn't be a good fit

In 2009, after his Florida Gators had their 22-game winning streak (which included a national championship) snapped by Alabama, Urban Meyer announced his retirement ... only to unretire the next day.

That brief U-turn doesn’t count the two other times during his college coaching career when Meyer resigned due to health issues.

No one takes losing games – both the fear from it or the reality of it – worse than Meyer.

He hardly took winning games well, either. Even during one of his five unbeaten seasons as a college coach, he struggled with lost weight and sleepless nights.
