Report: NFL teams reaching out to Meyer for HC interviews
It appears a few NFL clubs are attempting to lure Urban Meyer out of retirement.
At least two teams have reached out to the legendary college football head coach to see whether he'd be interested in interviewing for a job in the same capacity, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Despite retiring in 2018 due to health concerns, Meyer hasn't dismissed proposals and is considering jumping to the pros, Schefter adds.
The former Ohio State boss would be one of the most sought-after candidates for NFL coaching vacancies. Meyer captured three national championships and five Power 5 conference titles during his time in the college ranks.
The 56-year-old reportedly had been rumored for a handful of other positions over the last two years but never strongly considered returning to the sideline until now.
There are currently three NFL teams with head-coaching vacancies: the Atlanta Falcons, Houston Texans, and Detroit Lions.
