Jacksonville Jaguars have fired Urban Meyer
- Thread starter Squarehard
- Start date
I wonder how much abuse kids suffered under him as a college coach and how much they suffer under current college coaches. Dude expected to be able to bully nfl players like college players who have no recourse.
Cam Cameron had a worse record. But then again he actually made it through a full season lol.
This has to be the most least surprising thing ever. The clown never belonged in the NFL. Who the fuck kicks a kicker?
Because while he was being a toxic asshole at Florida and Ohio State, he was also winning a lot and making those schools a ton of money. Hope he's done for good this time, though.
Bobby Petrino is up there.
I am reminded of the scene from Ted Lasso where Coach Beard tells Ted that these guys are professionals and for them, it matters.
Simply, Meyer couldn't get away with abusing/being a dick to paid professionals. He couldn't treat vets the same way he treated guys on scholarships.

Goes head to head with Bobby Petrino.
Still remember that joker going 3-10, fleeing under cover of darkness, then getting introduced at Arkansas mid-NFL-season before most folks even realized what had happened. lol
Yes! But this is my wfh day this I'm deprived of hours of sports talk. Love in Houston so it was going to be jags talk here anyway
Don't meet your heroes no matter who you are it seems.
Should've stayed retired and raked in that sweet sports bar money.
The worst coach is between them if we exclude owners coaching. But it wasn't the worst tenure imho this is still BB with the Jets.
Jags didn't even show the common courtesy of letting Urbz fake a heart attack on the way out.

because despite being a toxic asshole as Florida and Ohio st, he won like 85% of his games and produced three national titles. This isn't Bobby Petrino or Lane Kiffin here. Even without all the bullshit and off field assholery, it was going to be a tough sell for a guy like Urban to adjust to the pro game and be successful in the NFL. But it's not hard fo figure out why he got the opportunity, and why he will get another college coaching job in a heartbeat if he wants if.
Can I ask what you mean? Sounds like he is putting Urban Meyer on blast no?
"I'd like to proudly welcome the next head coach of Liberty University, Urban Meyer!"
Fucking finally. I guess we now know that player abuse is Shad Khan's limit.
I know some college is going to bring him in, but I would hope that this would be the end of his career.

Oh I didn't read it that way. I read it as "He'll be back because he's a terrible person and lots of terrible people get hired back"
Nah, he's done. He's displaying some type of mental degeneration problem if you ask me and schools need to stay away. College football analysis have already stated that schools need and want to keep their distance from him.
You had schools clamoring for shitty ass Bobby Petrino after he left the Falcons in the middle of the night and quit via fax. Urban has won too much in college and is beloved by a lot of awful CFB fans, so he'll unfortunately get another job.
I finished my message before I mistakenly hit the post button. This situation is different imo. You can't apply his to Urban and if I'm not mistaken, Petrine was already in talks with Arkansas before he left.
I think you are giving most college football ADs, fans, boosters way too much credit about how much they will care about morality. Urban is one of the best/most successful college coaches of all time. He will have a job at a school (and probably a high profile one) if he wants it. Especially if he takes a year or so off and lets the media rehab his image the way they love to do.
Its also an extremely different landscape now. I'm also of the opinion he's done as a coach. If scandals like bountygate happened in the last year or two Payton would have been fired.
I could see Jason Garrett as a candidate
Maybe a Pac12 job but he's not going to the meat grinder SEC again and I'm sure not the BIG. His mental stability can't take it. There was a reason why he took the Jags job. He wasn't going to be in control of day to day and he wasn't recruiting. You all are forgetting that game when he bent over holding his head in pain. ADs will not jump at him like that because that image is timeless. College football is more work than the pros; especially if you are successful.
You'd be surprised. He probably lost the chance to coach Notre Dame but I bet there would be no shortage of SEC/B1G teams ready and willing to open their checkbooks for him. Everything takes a backseat to winning.
I mean both James Franklin and Brian Kelly have "questionable" character issues that involve things like rape and people dying, and both just got massive contracts at major programs. And neither won at the level Urban Meyer has.
I wouldn't doubt Texas is already in talks with him at this very moment.
Nah, the cowboys will lose in the first round and Jerry will fire the coach and re-hire the redhead genius.
(I actually think the Raiders could take a shot at Jason Garrett)
I do wonder if the changed college landscape makes it more likely we'll see college players get pissed if he treats them like shit.
College and the players in general seem to be more accepting of that type of authoritarian shit, as long as the guy doing it gives them the best chance to go pro. Its not like Nick Saban is a "players coach" either. Most of these guys are egomaniacal dickwads. Its all gravy when you are winning and your putting players in the first round.
Because he has 3 national championships. That would be a legendary resume if it wasn't for the fact that Nick Saban is around.
