It struck me as odd that Meyer would throw that much shade at his assistants. As if calling them a bunch of losers was to going to motivate a turnaround. It sounded the opposite, that there was a definite strife going on in the background and he’d given up on making it work.
There was a lot of noise (obviously). Meyer was so used to the college game where there is 130+ teams that get coverage, it's nothing like the pressure and media of only 32 teams at the top level. He wasn't going to have the most talented team in the conference. The things that make him a great college coach, hurt him in the NFL. The pressure and his own expectations were breaking him apart.
