Wonder if he is really done forever.
...and then the ND job comes open a year later...Until ESPN offers him an analyst job.
Part of the reasoning for Meyer stepping down stemmed from his health. He’s endured painful and aggressive headaches as a result of a congenital arachnoid cyst in his brain. He had brain surgery in 2014 to help relieve the pain, but it had returned in spurts the past two seasons and, at times, limited him from performing the job with the required intensity.
The image of Meyer dropped to a knee and hunched over in pain has resonated as one of the dominant images in college football this season. Doctors had begun to caution Meyer about long-term risks.
.................
Meyer is expected to spend more time with his family, which includes one grandchild and another on the way. He may consider television work and could potentially do work with the Ohio State athletic department in some capacity. That role could include mentoring coaches and leaders, as Meyer has maintained a strong relationship with Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith.

Who saw this coming....
But, he has nothing left to prove. if he coaches again it should be at a small program where the pressure won't kill him.
Didn't we always used to hear that ND was his ultimate dream job? Of course, they are undefeated currently, so that doesn't seem likely.So which school does he return with in 2020 after he’s “figured out” his “health problems?”

He got smoked by FSU during the Ambien season of 2010.So he finishes 24-1 against UGA, FSU, UT, and Michigan. That's solid. The only blemish was that 2007 "dance on the field" game by UGA.
