Urban Meyer Calls for Rule That Would Get Michigan Coach Fired
Urban Meyer made his mark on college football first as a player from 1983 to 1986, lining up as a defensive back. He transitioned quickly into coaching, starting at St. Xavier High School before taking a graduate assistant role at Ohio State. Fast forward a few decades, and Meyer is now remembered as one of the game's most legendary head coaches, having led powerhouse programs at both Florida and Ohio State. These days, he's spending his time in front of the camera, analyzing college football for FOX. Advertisement This week, Meyer joined Rob Stone on the "Triple Option" show to discuss some of the sport's most pressing headlines. One topic that came up quickly: the latest drama at Michigan involving head coach Sherrone Moore and the fallout from the Connor Stalions sign-stealing scandal. "I think rule 1A in the rule book should be: If you lie, as a college football coach to the finished. You're done." Michigan has already penalized Moore, issuing a two-game suspension to start the 2025 season. That means Moore will miss Week 3 vs. Central Michigan and Week 4 against Nebraska. However, he'll still be on the sidelines for the opener against New Mexico and the road game at Oklahoma. Advertisement Moore took over after Jim Harbaugh left Michigan after winning the 2023 College Football Playoff Championship. Harbaugh took the job with the Los Angeles Chargers, and Moore was hired on January 26, 2024. The Wolverines went 8-5 his first season as the head coach. Fox Sports college football analyst Urban Han / USA TODAY NETWORK Despite the suspension, Meyer believes the punishment doesn't go far enough — not just for Moore but in general when it comes to dishonesty between head coaches and the NCAA. Meyer's resume speaks for itself. He's a three-time FBS national champion, most recently winning it all in 2014 with Ohio State. He also captured three Big Ten titles and earned prestigious honors along the way, including two Woody Hayes Trophies and the 2004 Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year award. Advertisement He wrapped up his college coaching career with a remarkable 187-32 record before heading to the NFL in 2021, where his stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars ended after a 2-11 start.

Ohio State football coach Ryan Day makes intriguing comments on state of CFP
Hear this story Had the College Football Playoff not expanded, there would be a real chance that the Ohio State football team didn't make the cut. Despite winning the national championship this season and crushing many of the top teams with ease, the Buckeyes didn't have a conference championship and had two losses, more than Oregon. Nonetheless, with 12 teams making the cut, they were a no-brainer selection to be in, and they proved a few things in doing so. First, they showed that an expanded playoff gets the best of the best in. Second, they displayed true grit, having arguably the toughest path to winning it all. Without a first-round bye, they had to play four games, and that's where the problems came in for head coach Ryan Day. He thinks there should be move events and more memories made instead of just coming in a day earlier. Here are his thoughts exactly on the state of the CFP and how it feels in the eyes of the players. "It's just like being on a road game, except you're there a day earlier, but there's no events like nobody going on any events, nobody's leaving the hotel. I think that, you know, we need to consider moving the hotels outside of these big cities, because we're not going to these events anymore. So I think being a little bit more secluded and looking at some of those locations is just better for everybody, especially for the players. We need to pour it into the players," Day said. He said this and much more on the "Triple Option" podcast earlier this week. Day's opinion doesn't seem wrong either. However, with more than 10 games in the CFP, it would be tough to orchestrate events for all of those. Nonetheless, the players deserve them, and the fans would likely love them as well. Let's hope Day's comments reach far as more events seem like it might be ideal for all parties.
