Urban Meyer, who previously said he wouldn’t endorse a candidate, changed his mind and is backing Ohio Governor John Kasich in the 2016 race. As the 2016 Presidential race became a free for all just months ago with as many as 23 candidates running at one time for both the Democratic and Republican parities combined, Ohio State head football coach Urban Meyer made it clear that he wanted none of it when it came to taking a side. Apparently, Meyer has a future in politics once he is done coaching the Buckeyes, because he has no problem changing his mind and going back on his word. Thursday, as the GOP prepares for their big debate before Tuesday’s primaries that could decide who the nominee will be, Meyer stepped up and got behind a candidate.
