Damn Trevor Lawrence struggled as a rookie but still had the balls to call out his head coach for being a fraud. Mad fucking respect
I think that goes to show how much he actually cares about the team and how much he wants them to win, even if they are bad
There was an interview where he said he had nothing but respect for him
@@pascho1057 that’s called PC
When was that?

Some men were just not meant to lead other grown men at the professional level. This is one of those men.
Bobby Petrino is another
wtf is up with college coaches and being weird scumbags
Children*
@@sdh643fn what do you expect in a system that treats kids like indentured servants
@@sdh643fn weirdo scumbags can get away with bossing around teenagers desperate to make the league and give 200% even if it isn't in their best interest.
When you start coaching grown men or generational talents who are already in the league, still treating them like kids? That's when being a weirdo scumbag falls apart.
Like just imagine, you're at Scumbag College and have a good chance at making the NFL and getting the payday you've worked for basically since you could walk. Your coach is an abusive, horrible asshole who isn't even that good. Despite that you know if you do anything but give your all you'll lose that opportunity you've been working towards all those years.
Then, after you've been drafted and achieved those dreams and played a couple years a coach comes in and still acts like he's the undisputed boss and he's surrounded by kids who must abide by every word he says or risk losing their shot at the NFL.
It isn't gonna go well. I know if I'm a vet on the Jags I'm telling ol Urban to eat my ass it he thinks he's gonna treat me like a freshman in college
One of the biggest mistakes he made was thinking he can talk to NFL players like their college kids and not have any issues.
You can't even talk to college kids disrespectfully in this era. Transfer portal allows them 1 free move without losing eligibility. That's why Dabo better learn fast to cut the arrogant asshole schtick.
Probably shouldn’t have been talking to college kids like that either
In college, u talk back to ur coach u don’t get to play.
Yeah Doshin is right, you're pretty much just the coaches bitch if you have bad coach @@doshin7777
@@doshin7777 it doesn’t therefore follow that any behavior is acceptable from the college coach since people can’t talk back to him.
you can be a tyrant to college player because the player cannot defend themselves
but not professional player because they are rich and well protected
Yes!!! This comment is absolutely brilliant. Coaches are gods in college towns, in the pros, they’re the 10-20th highest paid person in the complex and expendable
And professional players don't have to win the game to collect they're pay checks either which is why Jags only won 1 game year before
Definitely. College players are faced with the dilemma, “If I say something, I may lose my scholarship. If I lose my scholarship, I can’t afford college.” I lived it for 4 years and it is extremely frustrating.
@@AB-mz1xm the ncaa is rightfully under investigations due to this, coaches should be alot more grounded ...i can understand being stern and stoic but yelling and berating players at the college level is sadistic ....we see this concept of coaching has failed in the last 20 years on the nfl level so why does the media keep trying to overhype guys like meyer and gruden?
@@Byronic19134 they are paychecks? Who is a paycheck?
UM was a scumbag at OSU, but was the poster child of "hey, you win games, so we don't care what happens behind closed doors". Nice to see the light finally shined on him on a national stage.
@@RequiemForABuckeye Umm why has to be rude when saying that? I don't know you are an Ohio State fan or not but you didn't have to call this person a "dipshit"
@@normalperson9292 why are people so sensitive these days?

@@keyboardwarrior5612 why you gotta be an asshole to talk to someone? Man’s stated a comment and the other dude went off like a jackass. Ain’t ya mammas teach y’all better?
@@winstonchristopher3464 it’s a free country if he wanna be a douche bag that’s on him I’m js people overly sensitive nowadays on just about everything it’s comical to me
When you can threaten a kid's scholarship status, they will do anything for you. When you're dealing with adults in the NFL with agents, lawyers, and PR, you can't get by with the same stuff. What scares me is how bad he was with those kids, things that we never saw because no kid wanted to be the one to rat out the coach.
The thing all college coaches have to learn is they ain't dealing with kids anymore. Either adapt to that fact, or like in urban's case, maybe get a video made about you about how you're the worst coach in league history. Was he the worst? He's definitely bottom 10, and I can't think of any of the bad coaches that were this bad.
Hue Jackson?
@@mikerich2644: Rich Kotite?
@@mikerich2644 Eh, at least Hue was a decent person.
100% plus the best Hugh school players choose where they play. So he always had the best players in the country. You don’t have that luxury in NFL.
Q At a
Urban Meyer is the classic case of no accountability when things go wrong. It's always somebody else's fault but when things are good (college football years) he takes most of the credit for that. But college football and the NFL are 2 totally different playing fields... 🏈💯
Hue Jackson is out there somewhere... laughing maniacally.
He was at least considered good enough to get multiple chances and hc gigs
Hue Jackson was ordered to lose by the owner
😂😂😂 everyone knows that is bs EXCUSES EXCUSES
Poor Trevor man he was set up for failure, I can’t wait to see what he can do if he gets a decent supporting cast
Honestly he has a bright future and I totally agree with you. He has a bright future cuz he was below average yet had urban Meyer was his head coach
he's going nowhere, total bust
@@Rufal not his fault, not his plays
@@Rufal and I remember people comparing him to Justin Herbert 😂 ya right
Trevor will do the same thing he did at Clemson. Throw interceptions.
How did the Jaguars manage to even win 2 games under Urban Meyer? Bill Peterson (Houston) and Clive Rush (Boston) were regarded as bad head coaches, but the anecdotes about them are more amusing than disturbing. You can find videos about them elsewhere on UA-cam.
One of those win was against the bills. Yes that bills just blow out NE in wild card game.
Broken clocks and whatnot
I mean Urban is a great coach just a controlling mega asshole, so him winning a game or two isn't that surprising
James Robinson, an underrated defense that dominated the bills, and playing the Dolphins who were themselves pretty bad at the start of the year.
Three games were won last season
*Blamed Everyone But Himself*
That's trademark narcissist behaviour, and Urban Meyer wore that badge proudly.
Good to see how everything came crashing down for Urban, never cared for the man and anyone with a shred a humility and respect for the people around them would man up, take responsibility, and lead the team with an open mind. Urban isn’t a man, biggest coward and disgrace in the NFL in recent years.
Him and Petrino
I never thought the day would come when someone would challenge Bobby Petrino for the worst HC in NFL ever
Urban Meyer’s Jags tenure may have singlehandedly ruined a reputation that he spent decades building
C'mon, be fair. While his reputation as a coach has suffered, his reputation for getting lap dances from hot young women has soared.
💀💀💀💀💀
And he still won more games in less than one season than Hue Jackson did in 2 years.
That bar was sooooo god damn low XD
Hue Jackson coach Oakland raiders so he won more then two games
@@noelcook8421 I should have said in Cleveland. My mistake.
The whole Urban Meyer coaching fiasco is a good window into the dysfunctional nature of the Jaguars. No sensible business owner takes a rookie coach and places them in the toughest spot on the coaching staff. What did the Jags expect to happen? Very few NFL head coaches jumped right to the head coaching position. It takes years to work up to that level.
To be fair everybody thought urban meters to the jags was a good idea based on his college resume, I don’t think anybody expected the 3 time national championship winner would be such an arse lmao
@@kima3555 Everybody didn't think it was a good idea. Some thought it was a good idea.
None of the people I had talks with about this hire thought Meyer would last long. I live in Jacksonville.
As a Michigan fan I have absolutely no love for UM, but I don't think you can really hold the Tebow thing against him. That was a smart business decision. He went straight to the top of the jersey sales. They were always going to cut him and they did so without spending a dime. Like it's literally the one good thing UM did.
I'm a Michigan man myself!
@@itbelikethat6579 hahah you sound emotional big fella lol
Ehh. Might be smart business wise, but you could have brought in a real TE and actually learned something. Instead, every second coaching him was a waste of time.
I’m a Michigan man as well and I think that bringing Tebow in was a stupid distraction.
@@itbelikethat6579 : You seem triggered.
petition to bring back deep voice guy 🙏
Really funny to see an iconic college football figure like him ruin his career as an NFL coach without finishing a whole season
Saban was similar but dolphins gave Saban 2 seasons.
Can you do a video of how Bill O’Brien literally ruined/setback the Houston Texans by years as a team. His trades and picks in the drafts the 3 years before he left ruined the franchise. Bill O’Brien one of the worst head coaches who in his last year traded 3 superstars for basically nothing in return.
Here's what people don't understand, to be a great college coach, you need to be a great RECRUITER. To be a great NFL coach you need to be smart. That's why even the great Nick Saban was ass in the NFL, look at Bama's actual play calling, it's just bully ball with better horses, too much parity in the NFL for that
Very well put. Smart. It's true. As did Meyer, Saban gets the best recruits. Better even than OSU most years. The SEC is mostly balls. If he played a schedule of comparable teams, they wouldn't be as successful. Just as OSU wouldnt be. The pros is a different animal. What was the movie? On any Given Sunday? On any Given Sunday, any team.csn beat another. In college, not so.much
@@sdc6447 Alabama has 6 National Titles in 12 years and since 2014 they have played 2 teams at the end to win the NC. Every time they win the NC, they have to play at least 1 non SEC , supposed to be top 4 team. Saban went 65-63 in the NFL from 88-2005. Saban was not a great coach but he was at least an OK coach. Meyers was a very bad coach, some might say the worst in history. Saban has definitely figured out how to get his College teams to win a lot and win many Championships. Saban is the GOAT of College Football. Saban seems to inspire the best from his players, Meyers had to threaten to get it out of his.
@@batsonelectronics it's still not the same as the college. Where if your supposed to win, usually you do. I mean they're can be upsets, but it's just different. Yes, he's probably the best college coach of all time. Or close to it, but even be sucked in the pros. Some guys are made for the pros. Some not. Meyer may be an ass, but he's a great college coach in his own right. Like him or hate him. A select few get multiple National championships.
@@sdc6447 SABAN went 65-63 in the NFL. That is not great but it also isn't sucky. He was average and that was not good enough and they fired him. He lasted 8 years as a Pro coach at least, Meyers didn't last 1 year.
@@sdc6447 Alabama plays in the conference that has won 12 out of the last 16 national championships. Alabama plays in the conference that has produced the most NFL draft picks for 15 years in a row.
He was pretty bad but it's tough to top Bill O'Brien and the train wreck he left in Houston
Honestly I don't think anything can ever top trading away a top 3 receiver away for basically nothing
BoB was trying to get fired though. I think Meyers is just a terrible coach.
Naw bro BoB actually won some games. He's a bad NFL coach, maybe. Urban Meyer is not even an NFL level coach.
@@al6467 BOB's biggest mistakes came from being a GM, not a coach. Though I do agree that BOB was a terrible coach as well, he isn't on the same level of trash as Urban is as a coach.
Nah bill O’Brien made the playoffs at least and wasn’t kicking his players lol
Good work on this video. Very professional!
He does make Rich Kotite seem a genius. Never thought that was possible
Nobody forget Urban Meyer is also the GENIUS who cut Joe Burrow as the Ohio State QB in favor of Dwayne Haskins. Nuff said.
thats always been the problem with Ohio State. Their practices are so brutal, your starting QB is just the toughest guy still standing, but he's not your best athlete. They should try the red shirt in practice for their QB's sometime.
That's true,but D.Haskins was a legit Heisman finalist! #7 was the truth
This kind of stuff unfortunately works when you have impressionable college kids who have no choice but to submit to whatever the coach says to keep their careers alive. Not shocking how he didn't get away with this when speaking to grown men worth more than him
what a great video! well done and thanks! more pls
People don't get it ... Tebow, Leroy Butler, Henry signing with the Jags would lead to INSANE sales simply because Jacksonville loves them. Signing Tebow for the camp roster to make jersey sales possible was smart. Letting him play 1 game to help people know why he couldn't keep playing helped end the discussion.
well said
Lol nonsense
He signed Tebow to try to get him time as a vested veteran, not no damn jersey sales. He destroyed his credibility with that and the strength coach hiring. Lol you think this makes any kind of logic is nuts as an organization. Jersey sales…
@@antcantcook960 He sold a ton of jerseys dude. It was a smart move
Jags fan here and honestly when you think things can’t get worse, they end up getting worse with this franchise😂
How do you feel about the franchise now though?
@@veilmontTV still scarred and have trust issues from urban but last year was great and its awesome we have dougie p to lead the way💪🏽
In college you need the players to fear you to play well. In the NFL you need the players to love you to play well.
It’s a toss up between him and bobby petrino.
I’d have to go with Meyer. Petrino had things happen completely out of his control (Vick with the dog fighting) that sabotaged the season.
Petrino was a disloyal scumbag who didn't have the guts to face his players, but yeah they both trash
Kotite
You guys should do “The Mt Rushmore of Every Position in NBA”
It's amazing how quickly this story goes from "lousy NFL coach" to "lousy human being."
1:04 - 1:07 NICE RHYMES MAN
Him taking Etienne actually ended up being one of the best choices he made. Now that dude is top 5 RB in the whole NFL
Everyone wants Jimmie Johnson or Pete Carroll as HC out of college, but instead you get UM and Chip Kelly lol
Jimmy Johnson went 1-15 first year, same situation as jags, with a rookie first pic qb also. Its just Jones had more patience.
@@jackwilson5152 and jimmy got a phd in psychology , so he knew how to coach each player differently
@@jackwilson5152 But Jimmy didn't have a new scandal every other week. Urban was constantly stepping on his own d*ck and losing credibility. Jimmy worked as hard as anyone in the building and earned respect. Similar records the first year, totally different vibe.
He is just like Tim Tebow, one of the best in college football and one of the worst in the nfl.
Tebow at least won a playoff game lol
@@minirasidi he is the worst qb in the history of the nfl
Tebow also has great character and a good work ethic, which is why even though not succeeding so much in the NFL, he’s likely to find success elsewhere in the sports world. Can’t say the same for Urban…
@@Rufal Art Schlichter, dude.
@@SamtheBravesFan who asked u for ur input ?
I like etienne as a pick, hes a good RB and it's good to have RB depth. But I agree he jumped the gun on the pick.
Love your video
The whole world told the Jags that Meyer was a questionable hire, and it fell on deaf ears.
Damn I almost forgot how good that stache was
Worst nfl coach is without debate Marc Trestman
As a Bears fan, I would say he is up there but the true worst coach was probably the one that led the 2008 Detroit Lions to 0-16
Bobby Petrino?
It allows a good day when you post keep up the good work
As a Clemson fan, I loved that Trevor got to play with Travis and I loved the pick.
As a football fan it was an incredibly stupid pick that could have caused James Robinson to ask for a trade
If Trevor gets a good head coach and players he can have a good run in the future
I'm from Jax and I can tell you he was really well respected here because of the Gators. Now? Smgdh I called this. I knew he'd have 1 season but never thought he wouldn't finish the season. Tired of losing here. Kahn is more concerned with the ship yards project he couldn't care less about the jags and definitely doesn't understand football.
Yup. He outdid Petrino. And I didn't think it was possible. Old Urban went above and beyond
His quote, it is like playing Bama every week, shows how unprepared he was for the NFL.
"Hell yeah, he is! No one worse than him!"
- Bill O'Brian, probably
Bill o brien got winning seasons with Fitzpatrick and took hoyer/mallet to the playoffs. He was actually a solid coach but a very bad GM
Obrien won multiple division titles and multiple playoff games. He's not even in the bottom 50 coaches all time
Josh Lambo blew 2 kicks that could’ve altered season opener vs division rival Texans. Just putting here bc I’ll forget lmao
4:39 thats crazy 💀💀💀💀
He didn't quit on his team like a certain coach did name Bobby Petrino or Nick Saban
I won't be surprised if the Jags get a good coach and become the next Bengals.
I saw a lot of promise in Lawrence in that Bengals game. It's time sensitive, one or two seasons and this window is over for a while, but I think a good coach is all the jags need. Obviously they need talent at other positions to be perfect but I feel like that's their "big need".
well they hired doug pederson a proven winner who i felt was blackballed by the eagles
Here after a year ur prediction was right.
This is how it feel like to be a Jags fan....
Wow you really made the case 👏👏
"so when are you going to put a smile on that face?" UM "whenever you stop kicking me" JL
He's always been the worse but at the college level the worse can win because complete lack of morals works at that level.
He doubled our wins from last year lol
Kudos to the players for at least keeping it somewhat competitive in a lot of there games this past season. Despite the horrible coaching
“Oooh booy”😂😂
Some of the "credit" has to go to Shad "Got It Right" Khan. He needs to recognize he's just a NFL owner and not a GM or coach. He chose Meyer because he thought that hiring a former Gators coach would put butts in seats at the 'Bank and dollars in his pocket. Shad should just pay the bills, hire decent staff for their skills and let them handle winning games. That'll earn some revenue faster than trying to interfere his way out of the embarrassment of his tenure as Jags owner.
Sounds like he was on a power trip
Somewhere, Jim Tomsula sends a thank you to Urban each night.
Doing travis ET dirty , kid is special
the epitome of a college coach failing to be a professional. Almost impossible to transition from an environment where they're practically dictators / cult leaders to a place where they're just an employee that is open to just as much criticism as anyone else. They can't control how their players eat, sleep, and exercise anymore, but they carry themselves with the same weight and ego as if they could. No wonder most of them go back to their privileged little bubbles where they're treated like gods.
Whoa! That mustache was incredible! And yes Urban the "Finger Jab" Meyers was the worst nfl coach.
Bobby Petrino is up there too
Kind of takes some of the bite out of that NF Florida Gators documentary. What a shnook.
As a Michigan fan I love the fact he is considered possibly the worst coach of all time
I'm an Iowa fan and feel the same way 👍.
What a difference a doug pederson makes!!
Yeah, what Doug’s accomplished in just one season on the field and the rapport he has already built with many of the exact same players - makes Urban look even worse… and definitely on into “worst all time” territory.
@@jamesm3471 👍👍👍👍
honestly didn't know he kicked one of the players until now. that's shocking. and to say he can do it whenever he wanted to is even worse. on paper his hire was a good one. a proven winner tasked with taking a losing team out of that losing culture and making it a winning team. in hindsight I wonder if the owner regrets hiring Meyer
crazy how stories go regional vs national because I swear I only heard about the bar picture thing and then he was gone.
in college, you can threat a 18-20 years old kids with no other option. in NFL, they are an adult. You can't threat to release them, they always have other options available.
He was!
Worst coach is still Hue Jackson. One win in two years is a record that is hard to beat
He was good with the raiders
@@B1inded3agle__ well yeah that’s inferred
@@johnsmith-ko8vq Somehow he got us to 8-8 but I wouldn’t say he was good. We were just in a shit division at the time 😂
I was convinced no coach would be hated more than Matt Patricia was hated by the Lions. Took only a few months following his firing for Urban to take that crown by force XD
You could see his rotten vibe in the way the jags played. Poor TL. NFL dream was a first year nightmare.
Let's give credit where credit is due, Tim Tebow was never considered one of the worst quarterbacks in NFL history. He WAS considered a quarterback that didn't reach his full potential, and for some reason (I guess because he always prayed?), he was always surrounded by a media circus that was scrutinizing everything he did, and a lot of teams just didn't want to take that on.
But he won at least one playoff game. There have been dozens of starting quarterbacks who cannot say the same thing. Hell, up until this year, Matthew Stafford couldn't even say that. Not saying that makes him the greatest, but I think it certainly means he wasn't "one of the worst NFL QBs ever." More like very slightly above-average.
Can't believe we're having this argument again lol. Tim Tebow was a very below average QB my man. Dude was straight ass for three and a half quarters but magically turned good in the 4th. And even then it was more dumb luck than actual talent lol .
@@shakib7692 it was dumb luck? 😂😂 yea I get he wasn’t the best qb ever but I can see you’re just a hater
I mean DT won the playoff game off an amazing run after the catch, it was a bad throw that he won the game off of. Tebow just wasn't a good thrower of the football and struggled to read defenses, he was well below average otherwise he'd have easily found a team
@@Jrock420blam Tebow was great that game. You can complain about the game after. But Tebow was most definitely by far the biggest reason why they won that game.
You also need to understand what blackballed means. Tebow was against the nfl narrative. He was having a huge Christian influence on the young. National felons league doesn't allow that.
@@jackwilson5152 Tebow threw at a 45% clip in that playoff game, the Steelers were only it in because Tebow played so poorly. The team went from .500 having to carry bad QBs for years even before Tebow stunk it up into a superbowl contender record breaking offense the second they got a good QB. DT won that game, he was 50% of the teams total yards and over 70% of Tebow's production and won the game with an amazing run after catch
You seem to fail to understand what blackballing means, Tebow was the epitome of the NFL as far as that goes. The league almost entirely vocally Christian, from Kurt Warner to Reggie "reverend" White. Every player thanks god for their awards and for their play and opportunity, so much so many teams even have a chaplain on staff. He wouldn't be blackballed for being the same as 99% of the league or else the entire league would be blackballed. He just didn't have the ability to be an NFL level QB and refused to try any other positions. NFL rosters don't have room for players who don't put the team first. He was a great hype man and lockeroom presence but his play and being too selfish to try something new didn't justify a roster spot.
Funniest thing ever im glad they gave him a chance
Etienne ended up working out
Tbf so many teams do contact before it’s allowed in pre season
I laughed my ass off when they hired him. Way too much shady shit followed him around
Go Jags!
It's tough to top Petrino, but you make a great case here.
I don't think that I have ever seen a coach treat his players and staff this bad. Urban Meyer thought this was gonna be easy and could treat the players like he could scholarship athletes. Its a big difference that these guys are playing the game for money as opposed to a scholarship. He couldn't get away with what he could in college and he's probably already setting up fro a return to college ball.
He coached one partial season and still had more wins than Hue Jackson had in two full seasons. Hue Jackson is and will always be the worst coach in NFL history.
Lol Meyer got professionally destroyed and will never work in the NFL again, unlike Hue. Hire a racist coach, bring in Tebow, left his team to ride back home, etc. no player in the nfl would agree with you. Meyer couldn’t make an entire season with those two wins that impressed no one but you.
He was a legendary Ohio state coach
Ohio State being Ohio state had more to do with that than meyer himself
Please do baalke hardbaugh era next
After knowing all this im actually starting to like the jags, the players deserve better. and poor Trevor he's so talented but can't show his skills on the field because of some arrogant coach.
Hue Jackson is definitely the worst coach in NFL history😂
No disrespect but it’s true tho
He might’ve been a worse coach on game day but he was a much better man. He said that if he went 1-15 again he’d swim in the Ohio river, and when he went 0-16 he delivered on his promise. He was a good man. Not a good coach, but a good man.
Hue Jackson is a black coach who took the fall for losing like the owner ordered.
Wrong again nice try though you can try to pull the race card all you want it’ll never work so just stop
do one about chad ochoinco
You guys should cover Nick Saban's disastrous NFL run next.
Yes….team loses and he stays behind to spend time with grandkids and caught grinding a woman in her twenties at his sports bar. The owner should have fired him once that video came out. How could the players take the coach seriously after that incident.
its close between him and matt nagy though
Jeff Fisher???
Nagy won coach of the year in 2018
thats tough for lawrence. coming out as a rookie QB to deal with someone like him could have wrecked his career. the faact every player hasnt sued that man is a shock
I also feel like urban was given way to much power too soon. He should've came into the league as an offensive coordinator or something like special teams coach
Man I really miss urban Meyer I wish he comes back
ur joking right
@@ball4life451 yes duh
@@npnp2479 ok just checkin lol 😁
@@ball4life451 yeah urban Meyer sucks
Keep in mind the Jags were already the worse team in the NFL before Meyer arrived, which is why they had the #1 overall pick. Meyer only coached the Jags for 3/4 a season in which he won 2 games, which automatically makes him a better coach than say Hugh Jackson who lost 15 games in consecutive seasons, including going 0-16. Meyer's NFL legacy was destroyed by a series of what I would call "Petty Controversies" including many unsubstantiated and unproven allegations that were disseminated as though they were "Facts" by the media. Why dominant coaches leave a cushy college coaching job with built-in recruiting for a few humiliating years in the NFL is something I'll never truly understand.
I miss Urban Meyer so much.
- A Titans fan
Guess Ohio State already had people who knew how to win and Meyer just took all the credit, riding their coattails all the way to the NFL.
He didn't really get a chance, show me a successful first year coach with a rookie QB and no defense, coaches need time, the problem is the goofy owner the Jags are stuck with, they'll always suck
