Urban Meyer spoke at the Knoxville Quarterback Club on Monday, and the 59-year-old was asked about if he's interested in a possible return to the sideline.
"No desire," Meyer told the gathering, according to the Knoxville News-Sentinel.
Meyer is now five seasons removed from college coaching, having last coached Ohio State in 2018. He said that his style would not mesh well in today's era of college athletics.
“It has never been harder I am telling you right now," Meyer said. "Every coach, every player has an agent. Think about that. Remember those days? Maybe a coordinator every once in a while had an agent. There is nothing wrong with agents. They’re great.
"But when I am the head coach having to deal with a high school player that (says) meet with my agent first. I am going I want to meet with your family because you are talking about recruiting and other stuff.”
Though he did return for an ill-fated and ultimately disastrous run as the Jacksonville Jaguars head coach, it seems that 13-game stint was successful in finally severing Meyer's ties to coaching.
"I am good," Meyer said. "I never really took a day off. People, when I say that, they scratch their head. I am like I never took a day off. I had some health stuff go on. I became addicted to sleeping pills. I was just a maniac worker. ... So no. No desire.”
