American college football coaching in the early twenty-first century produced a number of figures who moved between programs with notable frequency. Urban Meyer, born on July 10, 1964, in Toledo, Ohio, pursued careers as a football player, baseball player, coach, head coach, author, and sportscaster over the course of his professional life.

Educated at Saints John & Paul High School, the University of Cincinnati, and Ohio State University, Meyer held head coaching positions at several programs in succession. He served as head coach of the Bowling Green Falcons from 2001 to 2002, the Utah Utes from 2003 to 2004, the Florida Gators from 2005 to 2010, and the Ohio State Buckeyes from 2012 to 2018. He retired from coaching in 2019 at the conclusion of the Rose Bowl and subsequently remained at Ohio State in a role as assistant athletic director. He also worked as an analyst for Fox Sports and appeared weekly on the network's Big Noon Kickoff pregame show.

In 2021, Meyer accepted his first National Football League position as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, marking a significant shift from his college coaching career. He was fired thirteen games into that first and only season, having compiled a record of two wins and eleven losses with the team. Following his dismissal, Meyer returned to Fox Sports to resume his broadcasting work.
