Urban Meyer to the portal

Good article. I agree his success is primarily because he somehow manages to significantly turn things around within the first year of each tenure stop. That appears to be pretty remarkable, though I would like to see just how rare that really is when compared to all first year program hires over the last 30+ years. His sustained success thereafter is mostly a product of superior talent and depth acquisition, which reasonable minds can debate exactly how he managed to attract and keep said depth/talent.

If he really thought he was going to do that within one year at Jacksonville, then he did need his head examined. I would wager that most of his college stops had a few easy wins built into the schedule that he could build on throughout the season. Jacksonville, by design or luck, is the cupcake win for the rest of the league.
Agreed. I'd also add that a coaches behavior, what is acceptable and what is not, has changed. Urbs hasn't caught up and certainly didn't take into account the differences between pushing around teenagers and grown men making millions.
 
Meyer to Texas in a year. Let him lay low and build up his "genius college coach brand" by breaking down film with Jerry DiNardo on the B10 network and on Fox. Then after Sarkisian turns in a stellar 8-4 record next season he is shown the door and there is Urban to step through it.

Would love to hear his take on this. How bad are pro players about putting in the work? How disciplined are they? How focused are they? Are they team players or out for themselves?

Bingo! And with all the $$$ in NIL those "good ole boys in Texas" will be throwing around...Urbie will step in sh*t again.

yep...as a pro, I get offended that someone needs to yell at me. that is so old school. Today, I am motivated by pay. Yell at me and I simply go someplace else.
 
Nick Saban not interested?

HE COOOOMIN

I am not here to defend Urban Meyer.....but the reality is that no one here knows him. So we are going to believe the media....LOL....Penn State fans buying our friends in the media.
1. Urban Meyer is not the first college coach to tank in the NFL....Lou Holtz, Nick Saban, Bud Wilkenson, Steve Spurrier...etc.
2. Are we really going to look at his career record and claim he isn't a good coach? Based on 14 weeks?
3. Let's look at his mistakes....giving Tim Tebow a tryout...really? This is what you criticize him for?
Admitting that vaccination status may have shaped some of his roster decisions? I'll be no one else in the NFL did that....LOL
-Berating his assistant coaches....oh my God the horror!
-He kicked his kicker....LOL I'm sure it really hurt....why didn't he tell his Mommy?

Urban is arrogant and appears to be unlikeable....lot's of people good at their job fit that description.
There will be as much anti
Urban shit in the truthful press as every gullible fan wants to read.....because his employer will try to fire him for cause and he wants to save money.
And if you are going to use Urbs grabbing some woman's ass as cause....not a chance....you didn't fire him then...

Finally, it wasn't long ago that Jim Harbaugh was the worst coach in America. Now he coaches the Big Ten Champions and is preparing for the CF Playoffs. Tap the breaks folks.....good lord.
