Before the next round of weird football began, fans of a desperate, slumbering football program couldn’t help but yell.
Despite how strange, controversial and unsuccessful the last few years of Urban Meyer’s football life has been, “We want Urban!” chants erupted from Lincoln, Nebraska during FOX’s broadcast with the head coach sitting on site.
Meyer didn’t tip his hand to whether these calls to fill Nebraska’s vacancy will ultimately be fulfilled. He simply smiled, something he rarely did when he coached the Jacksonville Jaguars, and the show continued.
Nebraska then lost to Oklahoma 49-14, showing very little after firing Scott Frost less than a week prior.
