Jags fire Urban Meyer

[williston_gator]

It's....bad. As a gator and jags fan I hoped it would work. This very much is not working and very very bad. He literally has no idea how to answer any questions he's asked about the team.

Tension boiling over between coach Urban Meyer, Jaguars players, staff amid 2-10 start

He’s lucky it’s the Jags; most NFL owners would dump him at the end of the season (or possibly sooner).

"Go see if that chick that gave me a crotch dance is available this weekend. I need some stress relief!"

You got to believe he will run back to the college game. No way he leaves the field as a failure and it really seems like his chances at his current position ending as anything other than a failure are smaller than a Grantham defensive front.

Tension boiling over between coach Urban Meyer, Jaguars players, staff amid 2-10 start

There are some real gems in there:

During a staff meeting, Meyer delivered a biting message that he's a winner and his assistant coaches are losers, according to several people informed of the contents of the meeting, challenging each coach individually to explain when they've ever won and forcing them to defend their résumés.

Several Jaguars players vented their frustration to Rams players after that game, sources say, reiterating a common complaint that Meyer -- who had no prior NFL experience -- doesn't treat them like adults.

After opening the preseason with consecutive losses, for instance, sources say Meyer informed assistants that he was sick of being embarrassed and if the team didn't start winning immediately, some of them wouldn't be around for a second year.

Had a company outing to the Jags 49ers game...just awful. I'm stunned that anyone would spend a butt load of their hard earned money to support that crap.

Must be really actually close to happening.

@AaronWilson_NFL: Darrell Bevell, interim coach for Lions last year, in addition to Charlie Strong, are the prime in-house candidates if Jaguars move on from embattled coach Urban Meyer, per sources. Meyer's relationships with staff and players are frayed beyond repair, sources say.

My sources told me this weeks ago but we just had to go get Mr. Potato Head....Urbs had interest and even inquired....

 

[Keene-Flint]

What is Urbs due if they let him go?

They never released his contract details to my knowledge but guesses were 10 years 12mil per.

Bet he's sad that both Notre Dame and Florida hired new coaches this year instead of next year.

Seems Shad Kahn plans to keep him.

I want Urban Liar gone as much as I want Mr. Turd himself, Mike White given the boot. Get him out of Jacksonville.

 

[Homer J]

Urban has killed his legacy by being run out of town from his last two coaching jobs.

I’m surprised and yet I’m not. The tricks that Meyer deployed at the college level, all aimed at control, were never going to fly in the NFL. I expected him to unravel over the loss of control but not to the degree he has. The entire season has been one gross miscalculation after another. I can’t see it as fixable.

 

[5-Star Finger]

I pay zero attention to the NFL but this gem of self-destruction made me laugh out loud:

 

[Gatordiddy]

For those of you who might get it...

 

[MJMGator]

I really think all this is being overblown. Their defense is decent but the offense is atrocious. Rookie QB with no OL and not a single decent receiver. Recipe for disaster.

You guys are amazing........ All of these "so called" stories are unverified and from un-named sources.... How can you not have even a little doubt that these rumors are true?

I'm not a Urban Fan Boy but I don't believe anything from un-named sources reported by ESPN.

Seems like your Urban hate is so strong that you will gladly accept any negative news that washes up on the beach..... because it fit's your narrative.

I don't like Urban and I don't like the Jags and I hate ESPN and the NFL! Screw them all....
