Recent reports have connected Urban Meyer to the Cowboys’ head coaching job, which is widely expected to become vacant at the end of the season. In addition, Meyer was at FedEx Field on Sunday to take in the Eagles-Redskins game, which gave rise to a report that Washington would also make a play for Meyer for its own HC post.
While Meyer would almost certainly prefer to coach the Cowboys instead of the Redskins, Meyer himself said, “I think I’m done coaching,” as Brit Hume of Fox News tweets. Per Hume, Meyer was in town for a White House Christmas party after attending Saturday’s Army-Navy game, and he knew his presence at the Redskins’ home venue would create additional speculation about his future plans.
Of course, Meyer could have simply been trying to deflect such speculation, and he did recently indicate that the Dallas gig appealed to him. Ian Rapoport of NFL.com says Meyer is certainly enjoying his retirement from coaching, but he tells us to “stay tuned” (Twitter link).
For what it’s worth, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said that he will wait until after the season to evaluate head coach Jason Garrett, as Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram writes. But barring a Super Bowl win, it feels like Garrett will be seeking new employment in 2020.
Meyer is one of the most accomplished head coaches in college football history and boasts a 187-32 career record that includes a whopping 12-3 mark in bowl games. He also won three national championships, two with Florida and one with Ohio State.

It was even funnier the third time
I found the second time to be the most humorous. Third time was good but if you reread it, the second time really does come off as funnier.
First attempt was weak.
getting the Gronk treatment. let the man live!
Until a team ponies up $30m, then he’ll be glad to coach.
Given the endorsement and merchandise value of the Cowboys franchise, a coach who could guarantee at least the playoffs and a playoff win would be more than worth it at that price.
Sean Peyton would be the surer bet, but prying him away from New Orleans: good luck.
And who wants to coach for Jerry “Big Mouth” Jones anyway?
Who’s the next Puppet for Jerra ?
Next Chicago Bears Head Coach!
They’re not firing Nagy because they traded up to the draft a quarterback with 3rd rd talent… as the first overall pick?… before Nagy was even hired?
That’s how you become the coaching job nobody wants.
His job is safe until he loses with a different QB of his choosing.
So the Bears will be real bad for another few years. Excellent.
And even if they aren’t there are still the Blackhawks, Bulls, White Sox and Cubs capable of disappointing the fans.
