Urban Meyer-Browns Rumors Start Again Ahead of Week 16 Ravens Battle
By Michael Luciano
The Cleveland Browns and their fanbase are all but done with head coach Freddie Kitchens, as their massively disappointing season has them pining for a legendary college coach to replace him.
Former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer, who has done TV work for FOX this season, has been increasingly linked to the Browns job should they decide to part ways with Kitchens after just one season.

Meyer, who was born in Toledo and went to college at Cincinnati, came to Ohio State after winning two national championships at Florida. He went an absurd 83-9 at Ohio State, finishing outside the Top 10 only once and winning a national championship along the way.
Meyer has been linked most notably with the Dallas Cowboys head coaching job if they fire Jason Garrett, and also showed up in a Washington Redskins box in recent weeks, but could opt to stay retired from coaching, which would allow him to continue in his associate athletic director and TV analyst roles.
HYPOTHETICALLY, would you want Urban Meyer as the Browns head coach? https://t.co/TcJLWb6Mzi

Meyer is likely a pipe dream for Browns fans who want Kitchens' head on a pike, but you can't deny that an offensive mind like Meyer mixed with Baker Mayfield, Nick Chubb, and Odell Beckham Jr. could be something impressive to watch.
