As soon as USC football got rid of Clay Helton, the jokes about Urban Meyer ditching the Jaguars to come back to college hit Twitter.
Every time the subject of a USC head coaching vacancy comes up, Urban Meyer’s name gets linked.
Now, there’s actually an opening at USC and Twitter is all over the idea of Meyer taking the plunge back into the college ranks.
Who cares that he currently has a job in the NFL, the most chaotic scenario is the funniest.
Urban Meyer to USC tweets went wild after Clay Helton’s firing
The wave of Meyer-to-USC tweets started off with predictions. Confident ones.
Your way-too-early USC coaching hot board looks like this: 6-7 of the biggest names in college football that won't take the job. 2-3 retired names. And Urban Meyer.

Just don’t forget that USC has a pattern of disappointing.
like yeah it’s gonna be Urban Meyer this and James Franklin that but then USC’s gonna just go in an entirely different and baffling direction and it’s gonna rule so hard

Speaking of unexpected scenarios…
proposing a three-team coaching trade:
— Justin Ferguson (@JFergusonAU) September 13, 2021
- Ed Orgeron back to USC
- Urban Meyer to LSU
- Clay Helton to the Jacksonville Jaguars
USC has plenty of time to make their decision. The fall season has only just begun. Basically, all options should be on the table.
Will they even look Meyer’s way? That’s the biggest uncertainty of all. Meyer has some worrisome issues on his record and the Trojans may not want to touch him for that reason.
Who knows, he may decide he wants to stick with Jacksonville for the long term. He has Trevor Lawrence and bailing on him after less than a year would be a move.
