    Urban Meyer is 7-0 in his coaching career against his former employer Ohio State's arch-rival Michigan, but the rivalry has swung back in the Wolverines' favor lately with three straight wins, three Big Ten titles and a national championship.

    On Tuesday, social media video surfaced of Meyer being grilled by fellow Fox 'Big Noon Kickoff' host and ex-Heisman winner Matt Leinart on how much he would accept per year to do the unthinkable and coach 'The Team Up North.'

    Meyer was stingy at first as he fielded mythical offers from the ex-USC Trojans star Leinart.

    "How much money would it take a year for you (to coach) at the University of Michigan?" Meyer was asked.

    Meyer asked Leinart if he was negotiating and Leinart threw out a $10 million per year figure, asking, "Are you taking the job?"

    "Negative," Meyer responded before both parties began cracking up with laughter.

    Leinart then upped the ante with a mythical offer of $25 million.

    "I'm taking it," Meyer said , matter-of-factly.

    "Twenty-five mil a year, he's taking the job," Leinart spoke into the camera as Meyer appeared to indicate that he was just joking and would never coach Michigan.

    The Wolverines went on to lose Saturday's game by a score of 31-12 to fellow College Football Playoff participant Texas, a loss that snapped their nation's best 16-game winning streak.
