Overview

  • On The Triple Option podcast, Meyer said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell should suspend Harbaugh, now coaching the Los Angeles Chargers.
  • He cited Jim Tressel’s 2011 stint with the Colts, when the team held Tressel out six games and Goodell publicly supported honoring the NCAA penalty.
  • Harbaugh received a one-year suspension and a four-year show-cause order from the NCAA in 2024, with an additional 10-year show-cause set to begin in 2028.
  • The NFL has not announced any discipline for Harbaugh, who went 11-6 with Los Angeles in 2024 before a wild-card loss to Houston.
  • Meyer also expressed doubt that the league will act, highlighting ongoing debate over whether pro teams should mirror college sanctions.
