This is terrible. Fading Urban on a weekly basis in the NFL was pretty profitable. I'm not even an NFL guy and cashed on Urban being in the NFL.
Urban Myers Fired

I remember in the 80s somebody asked Bobby Knight if he would ever coach in the NBA? He said "Hell no. How am I going to tell Moses Malone to get the lead out of his ass". If Meyer is going to play tough guy then the NFL is not the place to do itComment -
#39Some coaches can't make the leap from college to the pros. Dealing with spoiled millionaires takes a special kind of talent. Pete Carol failed measurably the first time out but he adapted. Nick Saban, arguably the greatest college coach of all time, was barely over .500 with the Dolphins.
Urban didn't have the patience. So he got his millions and now can do what the hell he wants.Comment -

Maybe he'll get some HS coaching gig. If he thinks he's pissed at NFL kickers missing.Comment -

#42Meyer has been trying to get fired for a while now. He wins again!
now he cashes in and can take another college job and get more cashComment -
#43No real mystery here, this idiot had literally done just about everything wrong that you could possibly do, but in the end he was fired for 2 reasons:
1) The Lambo kicking incident
2) Pissing off Trevor Lawrence
Had he somehow managed to avoid these two incidents Khan would’ve at least kept him until the end of the season.Comment -

#46Team captains probably made a petition to staff.....dump this dumb phuck now!Comment -
#47Reports coming in that Urban Meyer alienated players in the building, told coaches every week he was going to fire there ass.
A former coach said that Meyer told his staff, "I had a better coaching staff at Bowling Green, you guys are fukkking terrible."Comment -
#48Urban Meyer was always overrated as a coach. When Mullens left as offensive coordinator and Tebow was gone he got a Xposed at Florida. At Ohio State he only won one national title despite having elite talent.
The big lesson here though is it never makes sense to take a job with bad team in the NFL that doesn't have a quarterback who is ready to win, because owners and fans don't have the patience to wait 2-3 years for a team to rebuild.
If Meyer was winning no one would care about these stories. When you are losing everything gets magnified. Lawrence isn't good enough to win, this team would be trash no matter who the head coach was.Comment -

I think Khan would have kept UM win or lose, if he didn't lose the entire team. It became very evident that Trevor Lawrence was fed up with all the off field shit. That and the Lambo incident were the final straws.
I think the Jags are not very far away from winning. Lawrence is young, he'll get it pretty soon. The Jags defense is fairly good and the offense is close. A good coach will win there.Comment -

#51I don't know Morino. This guy took a BG team that never won into a winner immediately. Then he took a Utah team that was a perennial loser into an undefeated season in just 2 years and arguably the best team in the country. Then he came to Florida, took them to 2 titles, the first just 2 years in. Then OSU and won as well. This guy has turned around fledgling programs immediately. You can not dispute his success at the college level.

My point is he's overrated as a GameDay coach, and that's what the NFL is about coaching not program building.Comment -

#53awful hire to begin with, everyone saw it coming, but it played out worse than could have be imaginedComment -
#54the kicker incident is a douchebag over his head trying to be a tough guy and failing miserably
also staying behind after the bengals game was a bad look, even though it looks like he got some ass that nightComment -
#55Well, he does get paid to make kicks. Make the fukkin kicks. Pretty simple. He shouldn't have to feel the need to even say something like that.Comment -
#56I said something similar about Jhalil Okafor. Where's that guy now?Comment -
#59I thought he was a good hire, even played Jax over 6 this year because of the bad division. What a dumb bet that was.
He started to lose me when he hired Bevell as OC. I mean, that's the best you can do? I guess people said nobody wanted to work for him.
Not sold on Lawrence. Bad mechanics, can't throw to the sidelines with any accuracy. LSU exposed him for everyone to see.Comment -

#65He lost and was fired. It happens. The bigger hit to him imo is he now has lost long time buckeyes like myself over his inexcusable behaviour in the bar and his crap attitude w Vrabel. That legacy will be hard for him to get back because I personally could give 2 chits what happens to him from here on out.Comment -

#67The part of that that got Urb was he "allegedly" said: "I'm the head ball coach - I'll kick you whenever the f\*\*k I want"...Comment -
#68Why didn’t this stuff surface when he was coaching in college?
How can this be the only butt he ever grabbed?
Would be a great interview with previous assistant coaches. They must have held a lot in.
What he needed was an assistant coach or player just to beat the living crap out of him. There is a professional wrestling script I would pay money to see!Comment -
#69You would be shocked the shit that goes on in athletics. It is very easy to coverup shenanigans on college campuses. Look at Pedo State. You better believe Meyer had the Columbus police and university police in their pockets at OSU. Same for UF where players were going in and out of jail like a soup kitchen.
This stuff only surfaces when you're losing. As long as you're winning, people turn a blind eye.Comment -
#70Haha. Good post.
Have to give BrockL some credit for being ahead of the curve here. I would encourage readers to watch Meyer's recent Press Conferences:
*A leopard doesn't change its spots.
Note how he tries to control the situation with languages but fails miserably in his attempt. Props to owner Khan. I'm sure he's been lining up his legal team to make this a not-so-messy exit.
brock is never ahead of the curve... lolComment
