Urban Meyer said this past week that there was “no chance” he would take the vacant USC Trojans football coaching job. But it seems as if the first-year Jacksonville Jaguars head coach actually could leave the NFL after 2021, according to a report Sunday by CBS Sports’ Jason La Canfora.
On CBS’s The NFL Today, La Canfora briefly discussed potential USC candidates, including Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy and former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson. However, La Canfora also mentioned that Meyer might not quite be out of play.
“Urban Meyer says he’s not interested either, but many of his fellow coaches believe could be a one and done in Jacksonville,” La Canfora said.
The Trojans fired six-year head coach Clay Helton after their Week 2 loss to Stanford. Meanwhile, they bounced back with a win on Saturday, 45-14 at Washington State.
“No chance,” Meyer told reporters Wednesday regarding the USC job. “I’m here. I’m committed to try and build an organization.”
