Urban Meyer “YOU’RE FIRED!!!”
- Thread starter gatorshime
- Start date
As I said when he took over. His best asset was recruiting and motivating. Neither is a premium for NFL head coaches. Mullen would do much better in the NFL
The guy also just doesn’t take losing well and he went to the worst team in the league. He basically became unhinged. NFL is probably not a good place for him.
He was looked ill on the sidelines the last few games.
You have NO idea the scuttlebutt I heard about Meyer back when he was coaching the Gators.
It was a closely held known sighting he had a meltdown in the Marriott in a janitor's closet before a FL/GA game.
The guy is a bit of a loose cannon.
I'm confused why he ever accepted the job to begin with. If it were just to coach in the NFL, surely there were better opportunities between his stint at OSU and now.
That was the Titanic and Hindenburg rolled into one.
People always say college coaches aren't good in the NFL. Not necessarily true. It's usually the CEO types that aren't. The laid back kind of coaches or the play callers are the ones who can move from the NCAA to the NFL. Pete Carroll has won a Superbowl. Kliff Kingsbury has one of the better more exciting teams this year. Jim Harbaugh did well but got a raw deal. Honestly Chip Kelly didn't do too bad.
Why Spur's, Saban, Butch Davis and now Meyer have failed. Control freaks for the most part.
I agree that Mullen would do better than Urban in the NFL.
Didn't Pete Carroll start in the NFL? Not arguing your points, I think you make great points but I thought Pete was nfl first
I never thought Meyer going to the NFL was going to work but he's a winner so I was wait and see.
Getting pissy and acting like a little sh*t when things don't go your way also doesn't work well in the NFL.
Urban has to be the main alpha in the room at all times, it doesn't work well in the NFL. I just don't think ANY of his best assets translate well to the NFL. He's an elite college coach. Top 3 for sure.
Oh, I think Mullen as an OC in the NFL would work wonders. Jmo
Carroll was an assistant at 6 colleges from 1973-1983, then an NFL assistant with the Bills, Vikings and Jets between 1983-1993 before becoming head coach of the Jets in 1994. That lasted a year. He was an assistant for the 49'ers in 1995 &1996, then head coach for the Patriots from 1997-1999. Then he became head coach at USC from 2001-2009, where he cheated like crazy, then bailed to the Seahawks in 2010 before the NCAA put the hammer down on Trojans, stripped Reggie Bush of his Heisman and cost USC a two-year bowl ban, the elimination of thirty football scholarships, and forfeiture of some football victories from 2004 to 2005 (a season which had included winning the Bowl Championship Series title), and all team victories from the undefeated 2005–06 regular season.
I used to, but now am not so sure. His playcalling was pretty good the first few years, but got stale this year. Same few plays over and over.
Of course, maybe he was working with QB's who only knew a few plays...
