Urban Meyer’s brief tenure with the Jacksonville Jaguars was an unmitigated disaster, defined by a scandals and a whole lot of losing before he was fired during his first season with the team. Evidently, the Nebraska Cornhuskers faithful aren’t too worried about that.
On Saturday, Nebraska fans serenaded Meyer with a “We want Urban” chant while he was sitting at the analyst desk during FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff show.

During Nebraska’s game against Oklahoma, the broadcast also showed a fan in the crowd wearing a “Hire Urban Meyer” shirt.

Prior to his unsuccessful NFL stint, Meyer led the Florida Gators to two national championships and the Ohio State Buckeyes to one. He had a 187-32 record at the collegiate level with a 12-3 record in bowl games.
Nebraska’s once proud program that has five national championship wins — including three in the 1990s — has endured five straight losing seasons and is off to a rough start in 2022. After losing to Georgia Southern last week to fall to 1-2 on the year, Scott Frost was fired as the team’s head coach.
