Urban Meyer
HC Ohio State Buckeyes

From a coach with southern charm to a college football villain. Urban Meyer is just like Nick Saban for the simple reason that both win, and win often, and the rest of the college football landscape harvests jealousy into a form of hatred.

While he might be one of the more hated coaches in the country, he’s also one of the most respected. How can you truly tune out what a proven winner has to say when he’s talking? He’s produced some of the best college football players in the past couple of decades such as Tim Tebow and Ezekiel Elliott and he’s not anywhere near done.

However, if you’ve followed his career, he already took the role of analyst in 2011 after he resigned from the head coaching job at Florida. He said that he wanted to spend more time with family and that he was doing it for his own health reasons.

After one year of being an analyst, he took the head coaching job at Ohio State and is 61-6 in Columbus in five seasons with five division titles, a national title and a conference championship to his name.

Hey, he’s got experience with winning and then becoming an analyst, so why not give him a go again?
