Former Florida coach Urban Meyer has formally accepted the head coaching job at Ohio State, according to several sources.
Meyer met with the Ohio State coaches Sunday night, including interim head coach Luke Fickell, according to a source.
Meyer won two national titles at Florida before stepping away from the job following the 2010 regular season. He said at the time that health concerns and a desire to spend more time with his family were the reasons.
“It's good for college football,” said current Florida coach Will Muschamp. “If it's what Urban wants, I'm happy for him.”
Ohio State and Florida are a possible postseason matchup for the Jan. 2 Gator Bowl in Jacksonville.
