Urban F. Meyer (Former OSU, CFB and NFL coach)

RETIRED MAN SET TO GOLF. Urban Meyer still has one last remaining obligation as Ohio State's head coach – play golf. And conveniently enough, it's also one last chance for win over Nick Saban and Dabo Swinney.

13 coaches – Urban, Saban and Swinney included – are teaming up with a celebrity from their school to compete in for $650,000 that will go towards a charity of their choice and an endowed scholarship.

Urban's partner is former Buckeye running back Jeff Logan.

Former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer and former running back Jeff Logan will represent the Buckeyes in the 13th annual Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge charity golf tournament. Both competitors will look to contend for a share of the $650,000 scholarship and charity purse. The team’s winnings will be split between an endowed scholarship at The Ohio State University and the Urban & Shelley Meyer Fund for Cancer Research.

For the youngins and those with short memories, Logan played running back at Ohio State from 1974-77. You'd be very correct in assuming he didn't do much running during his first two years while he backed up a lad named Archie Griffin, but he did rush for over 1,200 yards as a junior and over 600 as a senior.

As for his golf prowess, I have no idea. But he better be damn good to justify choosing him over Buckeye legend Jack Nicklaus for a golf tournament.

Ex-Ohio State coach Urban Meyer downplays USC rumors: ‘I think I’m done’

gettyimages-1076498616.jpg


Urban Meyer is not your typical retiree.

He’s not soaking up the Florida sun, watching cable news for hours upon hours nor sitting back to remember the good ol’ days to pass away the time. Instead the now ex-Ohio State head coach is learning a new job not all that different from his old one helping out the Buckeyes athletic department for a cushy six-figures a year.

Despite that though, the talk is still out there that despite triumphantly walking away from the game at the Rose Bowl in January, Meyer will eventually feel the need to scratch the coaching itch down the road. One of the most talked about possibilities is not too far from Pasadena as luck would have it, as rumors linking him to the USC job if/when Clay Helton is fired have been stirred up almost since the moment he had his farewell press conference.

Speaking to the Columbus Dispatch about his new daily life out of football however, the title-winning coach isn’t yet taking the bait when commenting on such talk.

“I learned my lesson long ago,” Meyer told the paper. “All I’m going to say is I believe I’m done (coaching). I think I’m done.”

That’s not exactly a hard no… but it doesn’t exactly sound like a man pining to get back in the game either.

Re: The restaurant will be modeled off of the Short North Pint House, located in the Short North Arts District in downtown Columbus, but will be double the size and include "Urban's 7-0 room," a private event space commemorating Meyer's perfect record against Michigan, according to a press release. The new restaurant will also host events for the Urban & Shelley Meyer Fund for Cancer Research.
