    I feel like the only reason Meyer is a rumor is because of the Ohio connection.

    Well, sure.   And perhaps the perception that Meyer wants to coach again....but not in college.  He was already at the pinnacle of  college coaching positions...why take a step back to that.  On to the NFL is his only way to "step up".    But who knows if that would work.

    Although....once upon a time there was a guy that stepped up form OSU to the Cleveland Browns, and that worked out fairly well.....a guy named Paul Brown.    (though yes....there was a military post in between.  Great Lakes)

    I’ve been hoping for this to happen for years.

    Urban's offenses at OSU and Florida consisted of mostly QB runs, and his ideal QB's are too small and inaccurate for the NFL.  I don't think this would work, especially with the Browns already possessing NFL talent at the QB and RB position.

    He also had Tim Tebow drafted in the first round..

    OSU was so disorganized during his last couple years.  I’m not for it.

    and then you have to revamp his offensive scheme.

    its a NO hopefully

    OSU is completely stacked now and you don’t think Meyer has anything to do with it?

    I seriously doubt a guy with heart problems would want to go to the NFL, especially here with the prima donnas on the roster.

    If he does come here, we'd win but he wouldn't last long. He'd burn out like Vermeil did in Philly.

    Well the key there is that Meyer is coach would not be doing any recruiting. That would be holy up to Dorsey and personnel department.

    It also could mean that good players want to play for him..

    I guess Free Agents have to be recruited.....but that often comes down to money, which he would not control either.

    Free agents would potentially want to come here. Opposed to coming to a team where it seems the HC struggles to manage the game/team.

    Urban has too many health issues...could collapse on the field...could still out coach freddie

    The problem going from OSU to the pros- you can't do unlimited recruiting in the NFL.

    I don't see it. Meyer will want control, Browns structure does't do that. No way Meyer will go for that.

    Any "name" coach may not want total control, but he's sure going to want a big say in player acquisition

    nah, i would be shocked if he came to coach the cleveland browns unless we had a different owner....jerry jones has really spiraled downward as an owner but he is still a hell of alot better than what we have...god...i just don't understand how he could keep garrett as his hc...howerver with that being said, i think urb is going to be on the cowboys sidelines next season....
