The Urban Meyer thread

[ThreatMatrix]

Tell me again what Sabans record looks like in the NFL...ya know where ya don't get to grab the pick of the litter at places like UF and OSU....Not saying he's a bad coach but you're looking at 2 different universes between historically top five or 6 power programs and the NFL. See SOS, Saban, McKay and a few others and then the other side of the coin...Johnson, Carroll and Harbaugh for 2 or 3 years before ownership lost it's mind.....the difference....OWNERSHIP....plain and simple.
Maybe Ub's is a wizard who can fly through space but the reality is he just landed on the NFL's version of Ur-anus

Saban himself said when he took the bama job that he wasn't a very good coach but that he would out recruit everyone in the country. Saban's not an X&O guy. He's an everything else guy.

Well, it happened. It’s a great fit all around. Meyer’s going to have to adjust to the limits of the draft versus recruiting. It’ll take awhile to get all the talent he needs. The Jax crowd will be accommodative. It’s a homecoming of sorts.

Football is football, and Meyer knows the game as well as anyone. I think he’ll do well. One thing I know. He and his staff will bust their tails.

you mean there will finally be relentless effort in the area?

Not just relentless. Never ending.

What unspeakable thing made Meyer's psyche collapse so much at UF.
I can't help but think he knew enough truth about Hernandez to tear his Meyer's mind up. He had to get away in turmoil. He was haunted by the unthinkable. Leave it behind to ignore & purge from his mind : mind-blind like he did with an alcoholic assistant who beat his wife multiple times?

 

[rogdochar]

Urban Meyer has not set a timetable for when he'll vow not to coach again.

No better place than Jax to not coach again.

 

[rogdochar]

Although I do dislike Meyer for not staying at UF to make it a powerhouse program, I have to admit the Jag-job is the most monumental move of self-confidence, determination, and downright bravery. He took not a dream-job but a nightmare job. I hope he works a miracle to make many people overjoyed.

Meyer was completely spent and done when he left Florida. The idea that he could have somehow rebounded and suddenly fixed Florida and kicked little Nickie's a$$ to regain the top spot in the SEC is laughable.

But that doesn't change the fact that this is not a good hire, it's a great hire for the Jags.

 

[rogdochar]

This is my possibility for when you look beneath it all.=

Of course, Meyer was spent because he chose to not fight back having zero loyalty to Florida where the Hernandez challenge & other loss of player control challenges were in danger of bubbling up into speculative accusations & blame. When Meyer accepts a challenge he usually wins - that's been his record. He did not accept the challenge with Florida. He bolted because something happened here that was indefensible to him. He could not be here as the coach for when he feared that truth would come out.

That horrid truth came out a few years later with the Patriot organization involved. Meyer had escaped the association, the insinuations. He later got those concerning the drunken wife-beater in his personnel, which he also knew about and tried to dodge. The blame on that nearly made him ill again. He did not fight. He faded from the association with OSU. Now he's in Jax where the Jags start out faded already.

It has begun. Took longer than I thought.

The Jaguars turned a blind eye toward the Rooney Rule and the ugly side of Urban Meyer's coaching history

If Khan did ignore the Looney Rule, then good for him. It is racist to the core.

 

[rogdochar]

He was suspected by associated people of shooting 2 people at the age of 17 - a display of his "hair-trigger" anger.

Looking more and more like Scott Linehan will be the OC. Hate it. Anthony Lynn is the other name being thrown around. Of the two, I'd rather have Lynn.

@jeffzrebiec
Jaguars not only have talked to Ravens DL coach Joe Cullen, they've also expressed interest in talking to Ravens defensive pass game coordinator Chris Hewitt. Ravens have already lost two defensive assistants and there could be more coming.

It is a little concerning those are the only names rumored. It better be Lynn out of those two lol.

Apparently Linehan and Urbs go way back. Linehan is highly respected. He has a ton of nfl experience which will help Urbs. But, I think Linehan is a terrible play-caller.

And if he wants it, Raheem Morris is at the top of the list for the DC job. I like him as a DC.

@AlbertBreer
The Rams are working towards hiring Raheem Morris as defensive coordinator, per sources. Morris cancelled a trip to Florida to interview for the Jags DC job that was slated for today. (Morris & Sean McVay worked together in Tampa and Washington. NFLN linked Morris to Rams 1st.)

That’s why I said if he wants it. The two other names I’ve seen mentioned is Joe Cullen and Anthony Weaver. Cullen has never been a DC in the nfl. This is Weaver’s first year as DC. That team hasnt aged well. I can’t judge him off of one year. So, who knows. Cullen is another hot name. I’ll go with him.
