Well, here we go again. Former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer’s name has surfaced again for a head coaching job that isn’t even open. Meyer made news earlier this year when he conveyed interest in the Dallas Cowboys job should it come open, and lately, his name came up for the Washington Redskins job.

Now, with all the struggles in Cleveland, there are reports circulating that the Browns could target the three-time national champion coach as their next head man.

Despite having acquired talent during the offseason to go along with the promising Baker Mayfield at quarterback, the Browns have significantly underachieved this year once again. Many point to new head coach Freddie Kitchens as the problem, but he’s still gainfully employed right now with the organization, and there would have to be a move there before any coaching search would be undertaken.

That, apparently is beginning to become more of a reality with what we’re seeing from the dysfunctional team heading down the stretch of the season.

The news was originally reported by Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports and cites league sources familiar with the situation in the Browns’ front office.

The report draws on the close relationship between Cleveland owner Jimmy Haslam and his ties with Ohio rationale for his potential of making the jump to the NFL.

Of course, as always, any move back into coaching would have to be very appealing to an Urban Meyer who has seemed to enjoy his off-the-field activities and analyst role with FOX and BTN. That remains to be seen with the health concerns that were used as reasons to step away in the first place.

This may not get any more legs, but if it does, we’ll be on top of it. Oh, and when any other coaching vacancy becomes open, we’re sure Meyer’s name will be floated out there again.

And we’ll probably (sigh) once again report it in case it becomes a thing.
