Jaguars head coach Meyer: ‘No chance’ he’ll take USC job

-

Jacksonvil­le Jaguars coach Urban Meyer was one of the most successful coaches in college football history, winning three national championsh­ips in 17 seasons.

But he has no plans to return to that level after making the jump to the NFL in January. He refuted published reports that he may have an interest in the vacant USC job.

“There’s no chance,” Meyer said during his Wednesday morning news conference. ”I’m here committed to try and build an organizati­on.”

The USC job came open Monday when Clay Helton was fired after six seasons. In his final game, Helton watched the Trojans unravel in a 42-28 loss to Stanford.

BROWNS: Cleveland star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. isn’t ready to play following knee surgery and won’t make his debut Sunday against Houston. Coach Kevin Stefanski ruled Beckham out Tuesday, saying he will practice on a limited basis this week but will sit out against the Texans.

CHIEFS: Good luck getting Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid to ruminate on the fact that he’s nearing NFL history, just one win away from becoming the first to reach 100 with two different franchises.

The answer you’ll get is pretty standard whenever such topics arise.

“I’ve been around a lot of good people. I’m very fortunate that way,” Reid said this week, as the Chiefs turned their attention to a Sunday night showdown in Baltimore.
