    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.

    Stop giving this hack the site hits.

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

    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

    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)

    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....

    because ours worked so well......revamping at this point would not hurt wether it is him coaching our someone else....but i do agree on your point about osu being disorganized before he left...anyway, he ain't coming here so you will get your wish...

    That would be my greatest concern.

    1. Health.

    2. Desire to continue coaching.

    3. Need? He's pretty well set now.

    Urban Meyer Net worth 2019: $30 Million.

    Urban Meyer is one of the successful coached of all the time. Over two decades of a coaching career, he has accumulated a high salary as a coach. Urban Meyer net worth of $30 million, as of 2019. He makes an annual salary of $5.8 million.

    There is no more basis for that than there is for him being with the Browns next year.

    Other than dak being an ideal qb for urban's power spread and Urban's love of zeke. Not too mention Jerry will be willing to pay more.
