Coach Meyer graduated with Honors from Purdue University in 1963 with a B.S. and earned his M.S. degree in 1965. He was also a Big 10 Medal of Honor recipient and two-year starter at defensive back for Purdue’s Boilermakers.

The Coach began his college coaching career when he went back to his alma mater as assistant coach. He spent the next six years coaching at Purdue, including Bob Griese's 1967 Rose Bowl Championship Team.

After leaving Purdue in 1971, Coach Meyer worked as a talent scout for the Dallas Cowboys, during which time he played an instrumental part in forming the Cowboys’ first Super Bowl Championship team in 1972, as well as helping build what would become known as “America’s Team” and the “Team of the 70’s.”

Coach Meyer accepted the head coaching position at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas in 1973. The Coach guided the Rebels for three seasons, 1973-1975, and was awarded Coach of the Year honors in 1974. He was recruited then as Head Football Coach for the SMU Mustangs, where he coached from 1976-1981. He was again honored as Coach of the Year in 1981.

Coach Meyer moved up to the NFL as Head Coach for the New England Patriots in 1982, winning the prestigious AFC Coach of the Year that same year. The next year, the Coach guided his team to their first playoff berth since 1978, losing to the eventual AFC Champion Miami Dolphins. After the 1984 season, he left New England to pursue other coaching opportunities.

With three games remaining in the 1986 season, the 0-13 Colts turned to Coach Meyer, hiring him as Head Coach. He became the first coach in Colts history to win his first three games as Indianapolis finished the season 3-13. The following year, he guided his team to their first playoffs as Indianapolis clinched the AFC East title. The Coach was again awarded the AFC Coach of the Year award.
