Urban Meyer coaches-Urban Meyer Slams Other Big 10 Coaches For Not Recruiting On His Level,Urban Frank Meyer, III (born July 10, 1964) is an American football coach and former player. He is the current head football coach at The Ohio State University, having been hired for the position in November 2011.
Meyer has previously served as the head football coach at Bowling Green State University from 2001 to 2002, at the University of Utah from 2003 to 2004, and at the University of Florida from 2005 until his retirement at the end of the 2010 season. He coached the Florida Gators to two BCS National Championship Game victories, during the 2006 and 2008 seasons. Meyer's winning percentage through the conclusion of the 2009 season (.842) was the highest among all active coaches with a minimum of five full seasons at a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) program. He is a native of Ohio and an alumnus of the
University of Cincinnati, where he played college football. During 2011, he worked as a college football analyst for the television sports network ESPN. Urban Meyer thinks other coaches in the Big 10 aren’t pulling their weight when it comes to recruiting, and the Ohio State coach said he wants to do something about it.
Meyer recently scolded other coaches in the conference for lackluster recruiting, saying that the conference is losing the nation’s top players to the SEC. We do need to as a conference need to keep pushing that envelope to be better,” Meyer said to 97.1 The Fan, via Larry Brown Sports. “Our whole conversation [at the Big Ten coaches meeting] needs to be about ‘how do we recruit?’ When you see 11 of the SEC teams are in the top 25 that’s something that we need to improve.”
While Meyer’s remarks aren’t likely to endear him to the other Big 10 coaches, he appears to have more in mind that trash talk. He said he hope to start a conference-wide conversation about how to bring up the level of recruiting and play.
