ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Urban Meyer is declining comment on the swirling speculation that he’ll be Ohio State’s next coach.

Former Buckeye Chris Spielman and Meyer are in Ann Arbor on Saturday, working as ESPN analysts for the Nebraska-Michigan game.

The 47-year-old Meyer is an Ohio native. He started his coaching career as a graduate assistant coach for the Buckeyes in 1986.

He resigned as Florida’s coach Dec. 8, 2010, saying he wanted to spend more time with his family. Meyer won 104 games and two national championships over 10 years with the Gators, Utah and Bowling Green.

Ohio State promoted Luke Fickell to interim coach nearly six months ago when Jim Tressel resigned in the wake of a tattoo-parlor scandal.
