Meyer fired by Jaguars after turbulent year | Pro Football Talk | NBC Sports
/ nbcsports - Спорт
Meyer did this to himself by not being able to adjust to how NFL operates.
The lack of respect and professionalism shouldn't be tolerated anywhere.
Steve Spurrier - Urban Meyer
Good coach for 18 year olds, not men. I wouldn't worry too much, he's probably got 10 offers already
Meyer was much worse in the NFL then Spurrier. Steve Spurrier simply couldn’t adjust his coaching style to the NFL but never physically or verbally abused players or coaches on his staff.
@@johnfarr2738 plus Spurrier was awesome. He actually cared for all those coloring books when the library @ auburn burned down. 😂
@@johnfarr2738 Spurrier did pretty good in the USFL with the Tampa Bay bandits, but that's not the NFL
He should've got fired when he was scouting a tight end in a bar in Ohio
He was looking for a wide receiver.
@@LoneLee2022
Like throwing a banana down a runway
Bill Belichick was on to Cincinnati, Urban Meyer stayed in Cincinnati ( after that game)
Absolutely! Didn’t he have major “health issues” when he left?
Meyer? The coach that elected not to fly back with his team after a game and decided to go party instead? Color me surprised.
He wanted to go to the bar man
Finger guns baybeeee
U can see trevor Lawrence smiling beneath that poker face. He's a happy man
Didn't Lawrence shove a guy during a basketball game? Research.
Urban Meyer did more ridiculous things in his 13 game NFL coaching than Bobby Petrino..
🤣😂😂😂
The height of Urban's time with the Jaguars was he got a lap dance. Just let that sink in for a second lol
@@skippythealien9627 Lol hahahaha true
A kick is never (as in ever) OK. In the NFL or any NCAA school. We need to teach our people that they don't ever need to have to put up with crazed coaches.
If it was a joke, and doesn't do physical harm its no big deal. If its anything else I agree 100%
I think the transfer portal will hurt the abusers on the college level.
Can you imagine how much Trevor Lawrence won his team-mates over with that "grinding" line. Complete lack of fear of the coach.
Pretty sure that Lawrence knew early on he was going to be with the Jags for 4-5 years minimum and Urban would be long gone.
Workplace violence should never be tolerated, in the Corporate world they will fire you ASAP.
violence should be never be tolerated anywhere, never mind the workplace
Violence is a big extreme. He shouldn't done it but, violence.... c'mon calm the da fuq done.
Don’t forget Jerry Jones wanted Meyer. OMG how great would that have been haha
For a Lions fan, this firing is disappointing. I could point down at Jacksonville and laugh while Urban was there.
Facts. Lmfao
It seems like your guys generally respect D.C. and play hard for him. Can't say the same about the Jags and Urban.
Give me MCDC 1000 times over he fits Duval's personality and Detroit's personality
Lol
I will say as fan, of football, of which we All are first, this owner has nothing, the players have done nothing, no one deserves this and you should be happy that the jets as well are willing yo do what ever it takes to be 500.
Urban was a disaster, but at some point, Shad Khan is gonna need to look in the mirror and ask why his franchise can’t get anything right.
what else can he do not everyone got lucky to get a great inherent a great gm or head offices or get lucky into hire a great coach right off the bat.
BINGO!!!! Double digit losses in 11 of the last 12 years! That’s insane!!!
I mean they were in the AFC CHAMPIONSHIP game a few years back and lost to the GOAT. Better than most teams in the last 2 decades
Khan doesn’t care he gonna hire another terrible coach lol
Khan is going to run the franchise into the ground so he can move the team to London! He'll show the league the awful ticket sales and lack of local support and get them out. They'll probably still be shitty in London though tbh
Kicking, swearing at, and threatening a player HAS to be legal cause to fire a coach.
the kicker has a legal cause also to press charges for assault, surely.
He kicked the kicker!
Apparently not in college where he was apparently used to such antics
Better have it on video brotha.
Where is the proof???? There are cameras everywhere. Surely somebody has this recorded somewhere.
Dudes lucky he didnt find his own Latrel Sprewell.
This whole Urban Meyer fiasco reminds me of that Key & Peele sketch where the strict substitute teacher literally gets laughed out of the room by the high school kids.
i think youre misremembering that sketch
@@loopeygoopey I put the link to the video in the reply above you. I just watched it three separate times.
Research the video of a KY principal being given lap dances in a skit in front of the whole student body.
@@hummingbirdfeeder4979 lol
Maybe this will make you understand why Latrell Sprewell choked p.j. carlesimo
More proof that successful coaches in college are mostly just great recruiters and not great coaches
Very true that winning the college world is 95% about getting the best talent. Alabama wins because it usually has a roster of 5* players. As do the other teams at the very top. And that success is self-perpetuating because new recruits want to go play for the most successful coach.
@@nsn5564 true but Saban is a great strategist though
Now with the college transfer portal, college coaches can no longer do this crap either.
@@nsn5564 Saban is both. Dude is a football genius.
@@ChefofWar33 is he? He sure didn’t prove it as an NFL head coach. He’s a good strategist, I wouldn’t say great .
Kahn needs to hire Byron Leftwich. He is a beast as a OC. The league needs more black HCs and fan base still has love for Leftwich.
He knows the city of Jacksonville having played there before. However, I’m a little hesitant on him as a HC. Any OC is going to look good with a certain somebody at QB.
Great thought
The NFL shouldn't hire people based off skin color but should hired only qualifications... And if Brian leftwich has a qualifications on his resume is in yes he should have the opportunity to be head coach....
@@achilles9448 i think his resume speaks for itself if you know where he has been if not inform yourself and don’t get too tied up in the comment
@@jameshoops10
No, when you lead with race / ethnicity you’ve doomed your own argument
I can only IMAGINE the kind of sh** Meyer did in his college days....I knew he was a bully but nothing like this..
I guarantee there was all kinds of criminal conduct that could put him behind bars.
At 7:34 i love Florio bringing it all the way to the front door of DeNiro in The Untouchables, then walks it back down just enough to not get too carried away. You can tell that Florio was a skilled litigator back in the day.
Florio is dressed like he's a Star Trek Commander or he's in one of those new age cults
Here in Florida, we always referred to him as Urban Liar. Seems he's always living up to his name.
We have to treat these public figures the same way we treat an other criminal. People make mistakes. That doesn’t mean you get a pass because your team is good. How much would come out if they were u defeated? How may programs have coaches that know they can treat young men like cattle? The real problem is treating a man like less than a man or more than a man. Period
This season as a whole is the most national coverage Jacksonville has ever gotten, atleast as far as I can remember.
As a big Browns fan it's so nice to not be the most incompetent team in the league anymore...
We aren't out of the woods yet haha
As a Jags fan I can't even get upset with that comment lol!
It’s been a good long while since you guys were thought of like that
And that’s coming from a Steelers fanatic like me
err, you're like 90 minutes away from Detroit.....
weren't you paying attention?
Terry Bradshaw said he was totally shocked with Meyer, he thought he would have been a big success in the NFL. Goes to show you that people in the know don't always know.
20-something rookie showing more maturity and leadership than Turdan Meyer.
Meyer's behavior shows how "top college" coaches are dirty and unethical, not and someone who should be around kids/young men.
I don’t know I don’t see Seban doing half the stuff that Meyer displayed over the 10 months.
@@saxcha4530 your buddy is not different. ALL college coaches pull this shit. When you are a dictator, you act like one. There are stories about Saban that would make your skin crawl.
@@saxcha4530 because you don't see it -doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I am not saying that he is kicking people . But you can bet your ass he treats plenty of people absolutely horribly. There have always been rumors about his personal behavior - but with what he has done at Alabama - do you honestly think they don't bury some pretty terrible stories? That is what is the most overriding thing about this - is - how the way they talk about these guys - the underlying thing is - obviously it is considered acceptable to mistreat college players
Given the Lambo allegation, will the Jaguars now have a justifiable way to get out of Meyer’s contract?
“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a legend coach fall so fast in my life” -Chris simms (forgetting JoePa)
The Chip Kelly Era in the NFL isn't looking too bad.
And that was a disaster.
Not even Nick Saban fell this hard when he was at Miami.
Yeah cuz all of his issues were with on the gridiron not out of it. Urban was a double package
I love it when Florio gets fired up. Incredible
Meyer has a history of these things. You can not convince me he left Florida and Oho State because of health issues. He was forced out, and allowed to claim health issues. Hard to believe Shad does not have his own security firm to check out a person’s history before committing millions of dollars.
Josh Lambo: "yeah, I just kicked you out of the league mate".
Why is it ok to be abusive towards kids though? Let’s face it, a lot of what is acceptable in coaching is otherwise crappy and unacceptable behavior.
It's not abuse. If a college player considered that to be abuse, they likely would not have the mental fortitude to make the team anyway. Urban is clearly a POS, but the kick was not abuse. Jfc.
@@somethingawesome9547 kicking a guy in the leg while he's stretching is not abuse? What planet are you from?
Jags need to hire Byron Leftwich. NOW.
That would be sweet.
Well they can’t right now. They have to wait till Tampa’s season is over
Why would another grown man ever kick another grown man, outside of like kickboxing/mma? Sounds sooo childish it’s laughable.
A bully is a bully no matter how old he is.
show of power
And then he told him "if you talk back to me again, you're gone".
Meyer has never gotten his ass kicked. That’s why.
@@the.seagull.35
Yep, he should have swung on him right there
Reminds me of Bob Knight at Indiana University. He was involved in lots of issues including abuse of players. It's tough because I really appreciated him leading IU to multiple titles.
Steve Spurrier and Lou holtz pretty much flamed out in the NFL real quick
Nick Saban didn't set the world on fire when he coached the Dolphins, either.
Don’t need any coaches like Meyer, who is severely lacking in character, in the NFL. There are plenty of players who fall into that category. Good riddance.
Who isn't lacking in character in the NFL???? If the Jags had won every game none of this would have mattered......and you know that as well as I do.
This firing was LONG over due! 👍
As a Jags fan, I'm truly convinced Urban has something medically wrong with him. Early dementia or something. I can't imagine an adult who has been as successful as him just turned into an absolute buffoon on this level. Unreal.
Good insight. That was my initial thought and surprised they didn't bring up possible health issues in the program.
Remember why he left Ohio state? He was having those migraines and didn’t he have a brain medical problem?
“As a jag fan” All I need to read
Drugs and alcohol possibly given his bar misadventure
@@Chiefqueef- ok?
Court Order/Gun to Head: You have to take 1 coach - Gruden or Meyer? Who is most untouchable right now?
Easy: Gruden.
Gruden got fired because:
1) Mediocre job performance as coach, quite bad as GM.
2) His contract was an expensive long-term albatross for an owner with money issues
3) He said things that offended the professionally offended, esp. sports media types, in PRIVATE emails.
Urban Meyer in contrast:
1) TERRIBLE job performance in the pros, and frankly suspect performance in college (gaming the broken NCAA oligarchy vs. actual coaching ability).
2) A complete lack of personal character or self control. This guy constantly came across as a raging, stupid a$$hole; he was a walking stereotype.
3) He actually DID things that are toxic- kicking a guy, public screaming matches with his own staff, ditching the team to go chase booty in some bar.
Gruden is merely a bad hire, and the Raiders got a few years of mediocre football for their money. Meyer is in the Rich Kotite tier of awful, and his brief tenure was basically a massive septic tank explosion. It's no contest.
Wonder if Jacksonville will ever get a pro team.
"Head Coach kicks former kicker" has to be the best headline of all time lmao.
Kicked the kicker - fired and kicked out the door
This is why NFL stands for Not For Long
I still think Florio sleeps in a wooden box in his basement, but it wouldn't surprise me if he goes to the guest room after his wife leaves the house.
Poor Darren Bevell, he's had Matt Patricia and Urban Meyer. I can't believe that Meyer is worse then Patricia.
It sounds like he was - so that has to give you a measure of what an A-hole he is - because I don't remember him ever really having a problem publicly with Patricia - a lot of players sure did though.
@@pjpredhomme7699 A lot of players sure did have a problem with Patricia in Detroit. The 1st game Patricia was gone the players were commenting to each other about having fun playing and being happy without Patricia. Their sideline was an atmosphere of celebration. However, Patricia never kicked a player. Guy's like Meyer and Patricia are simply not cut-out to coach. How they got to where they did is something that I do not understand.
The reality is if the Jags were winning he would still be their head coach. Spare us the rest of the (reasons) that would be conveniently overlooked.
If they were winning it would mean he wasn't a piece of shit and the culture was getting better. It goes hand in hand. The players aren't playing for him so they stink.
And if he had wings, feathers and a beak he'd be a bird
The previous coach in Houston was a pretty sad story but not even close to this
Urban Meyer's about as un-Mike Vrabel as it's possible to get.
Get the long term GM first. Let them hire the coach
You could say they...kicked him to the curb.
“Its the nfl hes just getting used to it”
Sorry but if he kicked the kicker in college it would still be wrong- and I hate kickers
how are people passing off this behavior when it happens in college? as a parent do you want a coach to abuse your kids?
Hates a kicker until he boots a 56 yard GW FG
Kickers make the game more exciting.
Of course it's wrong in both cases but the point is in one case he could get away with it and then the question becomes for how long did he get away with it?
Sound guys, you got some feedback going on
"Character is Destiny"
Heraclitus
Hey Chris don't cover for Bill Parcells with the getting on the team plane. Parcells famously didn't get on the Patriots plane after Super bowl XXXI. But he had checked out. Maybe Urban Meyer was just channeling his inner Parcells, but without the success first.
There actually good questions did they have
Is this now Urban Legend?
It’s coming...we keep seeing how much people get away with and the colleges protect their investment regardless of whether it’s just wrong or criminal...
Meyer’s narcissism will tell him that his own actions are someone else’s fault. Just like another big shot we know with a severe inferiority complex.
Time stamp @ 20:37 the look on the dude behind him is classic, LMAO!!!!
I honestly don't know who's worse: Urban Meyer or Bobby Petrino. I can only hope that this doesn't hurt Trevor Lawrence's growth.
Shad Khan, did the right thing.
Meyers track record shows he is a liar.
Happy For u Trevor
Chris Simms makes me nervous when he speaks... 😂
It's hard to believe Meyer has won three national titles as a college coach with how bizarre his behavior has been since entering the NFL.
Nah. Recruiting dominates. It all makes sense.
Chip Kelly for sure reminds me of this
How???
@@millhousemillard2140 how not? lol the debauchery and team destruction both happened under chip too, he even dismantled his entire team so really he was worse if you think about it
@@blakemaddox3681 he won the division his first year 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm no longer talking to you. You're too dumb and know not of what you speak of lmao
@@millhousemillard2140 lol and how did the ENTIRE REST of his TENURE go? I'm waiting......Oh, wait LMAO, you are a horrible troll man, I can't even say it was a nice try even 😅
Does anyone look at ownership?
Byron Leftwich One Time?!
I wouldn't hire Urban to do anything.
Thank you khan! Now found new GOOD coach fo Duvaaal
I think Doug Peterson would be a pretty solid hire
They need to see if they can get Byron Leftwich as the offensive coordinator.
He'd want a head coaching job. Not to be an OC again
11:07 Costanza!
Can the Jags claw-back his salary? Meyer has acted like he was trying to get fired, to collect his contract $$$
I would like this discussion if it wasn't NBC. But good analysis
Thank you sir, may I have another. Bonus points if you can name that movie! lol
Guys let's take it easy on Urban...let's not kick a man while he's down
i see what you did there
Its been like a week now. Get your kids fixed. Chris keeps echoing in the background. How do you guys not realize this?
I don't think any of us are shocked !! After hearing the stories it's clear UM needs help !!!!
No UM does not need help Harbaugh's doing fine this year
Chris looks like he was rockin’ the ganja last night. Hey Chris…here.
If I kicked a coworker, I’d be walked out the door immediately.
Holy gray on gray!
Everybody talks in the NFL. And this happened in August?
The cats out of the bag. Some author is gonna start writing a book about this and his time in college. He or she is going to track down former college players and interview them.
I knew this was coming
We all know you don't kick a grown man in a professional environment. Horrendous. You can only kick kids whose future you have power over.
Turdbin Fire has finally left the building.
Does he know we can see him reading his script?
FACTS.... I would have beaten Urban Meyer within an inch of his life if he had kicked me. NFLPA be damned. The NFL would owe me more than what they paid Kaepernick.
Wow! I'm kind of new to the internet, but your bravado must be real and true 👍
So easy to be a hard ass in the comment section isn't it?
I’m sorry! But, even as a fan I could see it was a bad hire, even before they made it official. Some coaches are meant to stay at the college level, and everything that’s come out about Urban since he’s been in Jacksonville proves he’s one of those guys.
Winning at Ohio State and Florida means absolutely nothing. It’s literally the equivalent of a pro bowl team competing against a regular NFL team. It doesn’t matter who the coach is, you could put a child in as coach and the pro bowl team is going smash the regular franchise team.
It's sounds like UM is accustomed to taking liberties as a matter of course. Remember the notorious Ohio State coach Woody Hayes? If I'm not mistaken he was fired for assaulting a player back in the day...what up with Ohio State? coaches?
they were losing the gator bowl -and it was near the end of the game - the opposing team (I think it was clemson ) intercepted a pass - and the player ran out of bound to the OSU sidelines - and as he was running out of bounds - Woody grabbed him by the mask and threw an uppercut - I was watching the game - ironically - it was the gator bowl in Jacksonville. Not really even comparable completely different era's - but Yeah Woody was not known for being even keeled
crazy that there is basically no middle for those college hc to the nfl... saban was a disaster, myers.... then u have harbaugh, jimmy johnson.... the only odd name is pete carroll. actually that was pretty bad in new england, then he came back and became one of the best.
I figure Meyer would have “health issues” again
Isn’t that his go to?
Tf is Simms doing? I've never seen a person look up and down so many times
🤔 I thought it was just me who noticed that.
Saban had a pretty laughable stint as the dolphins head coach. Cant say he went as far but these ra ra college coaches usually 🔥 out pretty quick.
The Dolphins went 1-15 the season after he left so I don't know about that
Sims said urban Meyer is just as accurate as tua is.
Fo me, a huge question is: Is this what goes on in college football? Physical and mental abuse of the student players? just to "win?" this seems like losing a lot more than football games to condone this.
