Ask Urban Meyer about life after college football, and he won't deny that there's still a part of him that misses coaching.

Nonetheless, theman who captured three national championships -- two at Florida and one at Ohio State -- during his career appears to be making the most of the new frontier that 2019 has provided him with.

ESPN's Dan Dakich and Seth Greenberg recently hadMeyer on as a guest during an episode of the "Courtside" podcast. Go figure, Meyer was asked the question that just about everyone has thrown his way since retiring after the 2018 season: Would ever get back into the business of coaching?

While Meyer -- now a college analyst for Fox Sports -- didn't give a definitive "yes" or "no," Meyer did make one this much clear: Whilenot spending Saturdays in the fall on the sidelines is still an adjustment for him, he's undoubtedlyenjoying the extra time on his hands-- whether that be spending more time with family or even taking a trip to play the renowned Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia just several weeks ago.

"The hardest part of the day is the first 30 minutes of every morning," Meyer said on the podcast. "It's down to about 30 minutes now. It used to be about an hour or an hour-and-a-half where I just missed it so bad. But I'm so into this Fox college football team that I have. I'm so into other things, whether it be business opportunities or something else. It's just intriguing -- this whole other world. I'm also into my grandchildren and wife and family. We're traveling and doing some cool things. I played Augusta (National) two weeks ago -- when could you have ever done that in the fall? So it's a nice life out there."

For those who are rooting for Meyer to come back out of retirement, don't get your hopes up either -- at least not after a newreportfrom Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports that surfaced on Wednesday. One high-ranking college football source close to the coach told Dodd they firmly believe that Meyer has called it a career for good, despite his name being tossed around at schools such as USC should there soon be an opening with the Trojans.

Meyer's "Courtside" appearance was not the first time that he spoke about adjusting to life after football. Meyer expressed a similar sentiment in September during a wide-ranging interview with Cleveland.com.

Ive been in a fight for 33 years, and now youre not in that fight, Meyer toldCleveland.com. So how do you fulfill that fight? And I feel that every morning. Every morning. Its all about a win and a loss for 33 years. I mean every day was. Not just youre getting ready for a game. No, no, no, no.Youre recruiting every day. Youre going against Alabama and Clemson every day, The Team Up North every day. Now youre not. Thats the number one void, is youre not in a fight.

Meyer has said his health has improved since he walked away nearly a year ago when faced with surgery to remove a fist-sized cyst in his brain or combat it away from the coaching profession at his physician's urging.
