Former Florida Coach Urban Meyer Agrees To Helm Ohio State

News

Former Florida coach Urban Meyer has taken the head coaching job at Ohio State, ESPN has reported.

Ohio State will hold a news conference at 5:15 p.m. ET at the Fawcett Center.

Meyer, who led the Gators to two national championships before reriting to spend more time with his family amid ongoing reports of health concerns, had worked as a game analyst this season for ESPN.

But he asked to be taken off his assignments for the network this weekend as reports swirled of his imminent hire with the Buckeyes.

Columbus will be the fourth stop in Meyer’s coaching career. He had a 104-23 record over 10 seasons with Bowling Green, Utah and Florida. From 2001-10, he had five 10-win seasons, the two BCS titles with the Gators and a 7-1 record in bowl games.
