Many Nebraska fans seem to want Urban Meyer as their next football coach.
Meyer was in Lincoln on Saturday for Fox’s Big Noon Kickoff ahead of Nebraska’s game vs. Oklahoma, and Cornhuskers fans weren’t shy in trying to recruit the former Ohio State and Florida coach. Some fans began a “We Want Urban” chant in the middle of the pregame broadcast, and one fan wore a custom T-shirt to the game that went viral, specifically pleading with the athletic department to hire Meyer.
But Meyer reportedly does not currently have interest in the Nebraska job. Meyer hasn’t spoken with Nebraska and is expected to remain at Fox Sports for the foreseeable future, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel. That report conflicts with a Saturday report by Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports that stated Nebraska contacted Meyer about its head coaching position.
