Overview
- On The Triple Option podcast, Urban Meyer rejected a report that he discussed the Penn State job or struggled to answer NIL questions.
- Meyer acknowledged meeting Pennsylvania Senator Dave McCormick, describing the conversation as focused on politics rather than a coaching vacancy.
- Radio host Zach Gelb reported, citing two sources, that Meyer showed strong interest but was not viewed as a fit over NIL concerns, and he maintained his reporting after Meyer’s denial.
- Gelb publicly challenged Meyer to a lie-detector-style charity event and noted he never referenced McCormick in his original account.
- Gelb has also said Meyer would advocate for Ohio State offensive coordinator Brian Hartline to Penn State, a claim neither party has confirmed, as the Nittany Lions’ search proceeds without public comment from the school.
