Football is a family affair for the Meyers. When Urban decided to take a break from coaching after his successful stint at Florida, he said he wanted to spend time with his family. When he decided to return to coaching, his family had him sign a contract with several points outlined, such as him taking better care of himself and communicating more with his children.
Unsurprisingly, Urb’s family — wife Shelley, daughters Nicki and Gigi and son Nate — are huge football fans and big time supporters of his team. They try to attend as many games as possible and are always cheering on the Buckeyes. In the photo above, that’s Shelley on the right and Gigi in the middle as they headed to AT&T Stadium on the bus.
When Urban landed in Texas for the National Championship Game, he was with wife Shelley:

Below is a photo of oldest child Nicki and her fiance, Corey Dennis, on the way to the game:
And here they were taking a family group selfie after the Sugar Bowl win over Alabama:
You may recall that Shelley was also the first person there to celebrate with Urb after the upset win over Alabama. Urban has credited Shelley for being his psychologist throughout his career. You know he couldn’t have done it without them.
