GENEVA, Ohio — Once he had settled into his new gig as the tight ends coach at UNC-Charlotte, Dean Hood approached Urban Meyer with a proposition.
"I told Urban, 'Why don't you come and do a camp at Charlotte," Hood recalled on Wednesday at his annual youth camp outside of Ashtabula, Ohio, which he co-hosts alongside his childhood friend, Meyer.
The Ohio State head coach wasn't interested.
"I'm tired of those satellite camps," Meyer responded. "I already do this many."
"Yeah," replied Hood. "But we can hang out for a day."
Meyer was catching on.
