SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Since virtually the moment Urban Meyer stepped away from the Ohio State coaching position last December, speculation has swirled about when he would return – and where. Will Meyer coach again?
“I have a hard time believing that,” Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said – but he adds: “Is it possible? You can never say never. He’s still young.”
Meyer turns 55 in July. But Smith added that most conjecture – Meyer to USC, for example, if things don’t go well and Clay Helton is ousted – glosses over Meyer’s health.
“People disregard the health issue,” he said.
