Did Urban Meyer actually interview for the Penn State football job—and did the Nittany Lions turn him down? Stunning reports suggest conversations took place between Meyer and Penn State officials before breaking down over NIL discussions, raising questions about whether the legendary coach was ever truly in the mix to replace James Franklin.

We break down the latest Vegas odds on Penn State's next head coach, with Ohio State's Brian Hartline leading at +140, followed by Joe Brady, Eli Drinkwitz, and yes, Urban Meyer at +700. We analyze why Hartline could solve Penn State's biggest recruiting weakness and whether Meyer's hands-on coaching style fits the modern college football landscape of NIL and revenue sharing. Plus, we examine why coaching legends like Nick Saban walked away from these same challenges and what it means for Penn State's future.

Watch now to get the inside scoop on Penn State's coaching search and find out which candidate makes the most sense for the Nittany Lions' championship aspirations.
