If you haven't watched him analyze football, he's probably the best I've ever seen on TV. He's on the B1G network pretty much daily and always on the Fox pregame and halftime shows.
 
I must admit that I do not watch the pregame or halftime shows, and only watch the B1G Network when Ohio State is playing. Urban's biggest strength was recruiting, but he also did a good job of coaching offense and special teams, so he should be pretty good at breaking things down. A weakness of his was not being able to adapt at times when his running quarterbacks were contained. He was sort of a "one trick pony" regarding offensive strategy, as he insisted upon using QB running plays and RPOs, even when they didn't work. He flat out blew a chance at a second consecutive national title in 2015, when he refused to "feed Zeke" in the pouring rain vs. Sparty. I am not complaining, however, as he could have gone 0-12 in 2015, and I would have forgiven him, due to the natty in 2014.
