A particularly charming story from his youth is one of a young Urban going to his seats at a Cincinnati Bearcat game and passing by the Wichita State team. He saw what he believes was the defensive coordinator drawing up plays and barking out orders to his men.
"He's just going after the players with intensity, and I just stopped and started watching him," said Meyer. "I'm a little guy with my dad, and I'm stopped, holding up people. I wouldn't leave and I was just mesmerized. To this day I can remember that coach with that chalkboard, coaching those guys up. I looked at my dad and said, 'I want to be a coach someday.'"
Little did Meyer know at the time, but the Wichita State coach that had such an impact on him was none other than Phillip Fulmer, who would go on to coach Tennessee.
