COLUMBUS, Ohio — Former Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer provided some humorous moments during ESPN’s “Manningcast” on Monday night.
The fun began when actor Owen Wilson appeared as a guest on the show, hosted by former NFL quarterbacks and brothers Peyton and Eli Manning. A clip was shown of Meyer asking Wilson, “Who are you? How do I know you?”
Mike Vrabel, a former Ohio State defensive end, listened to that story and later recounted a similar encounter when he joined the show as a guest.
“While I was coaching the Titans and he was with the Jaguars, he actually said the same thing to me,” Vrabel recalled. “I responded, ‘Yeah, I’m the head coach for the Titans and I worked for you for two years.’”
Vrabel served as the defensive line coach under Meyer at Ohio State from 2012 to 2013. He then transitioned to the NFL, where he worked as an assistant for the Texans before taking over as head coach of the Titans from 2018 to 2023. Currently, Vrabel is a coaching and personnel consultant for the Browns.
