Urban Meyer should NEVER be allowed anywhere near any sporting facility or leadership role in the WORLD ever again. A DISGRACE to humanity.
Wonder what Steven Hate Smith is hiding 🙈, he trash 🗑
Big Buckeye fan here. I am still trying to come to terms with the UFM debacle in NFL. When I first heard about his hiring by Jaguars, I thought it would be a disaster but for different reasons. I thought to myself: "If Meyer had severe headaches as a college coach (and subsequently had to retire), what until you get to the NFL!" After listening to the "Glory Days" podcast by Josh Perry and Evan Spencer (two former OSU players for UFM), I started to realize Meyer's full personality. Meyer put on a great face for the media but behind the scenes he could be insulting and disparaging to players. His winning ways in college helped to hide some of the toxic stuff. Perry and Spencer stated that "you always knew where you stood with Meyer." I hear he is back in Columbus and was seen around OSU WHAC. Meyer now has so much money that he can afford to do anything he wishes. Hope he does some good now. Note: Woody Hayes, after being fired for slugging a player back in 1978, did so much good afterwards–like volunteering at hospitals.
Elevated level of stupidity lololol
He’s not Kendrick Perkins?
And then grown men need to perform PERIOD!!!🤣🤣🤣
What credibility though lmao Jacksonville been losing 🤣🤣🤣
Stephan A nails it! Thought he could get away with it.
Meyer, what an arrogant loser. A proud Buckeye😂😂
I laugh at how tone-deaf Urban Meyer comes off on that remark to Trevor Lawrence about dumbing things down for a receiver because he's from the South. Uh, Urban where did you go to college? Clemson in SOUTH Carolina. Where did your QB grow up? The Atlanta, GA area! Georgia is about as SOUTH as you can get. So you're also insulting your QB!
Steve a smith is such a racist douche bag
Marcus Spears takes are ice cold. Dude puts me to sleep with his analysis.
At UF, 41 of the 121 players he coached, got arrested.
Well, how come that's style of coaching works for Bill Belichick, what is the difference they seem to give him respect for being an *******, so why can't Urban Meyer coach the same way, and make sure that there's accountability for these young guys, when they don't act right, it worked for Bill Belichick who supposed to be the goat of coaching.
The more I hear about Meyer and his conduct, the more repellent he seems. Arrogant, abusive, incompetent, totally full of himself, and a petty dictator. I'm glad he can't get away from the image he created as the monumental flop in Jacksonville. There's some justice in that.
Perfectly spoken!!!
The Jamarcus Russell of coaching
Coughlin is just an old school guy who is stuck in his ways…he's been a winner in the nfl …Stephen a can't compare him to meyer
Now urban Meyer can cry mental health and all is well.
Stephen A was defending Meyer all year but he’s been pouncing on Kyrie every chance he gets. Now he’s switching it up.
I sure liked this show way better when Max was on it…
There are plenty more coaches just like him at the college level
👉👌
Now that college stars are going to get paid, things are about to change big time…
I don’t see how you can coach a nfl team watch film on the rams and don’t know who Arron Donald is he effects every play
He gonna get another job as a head coach in college for millions . White privilege and all that .. 🤷🏾♂️ good ol boys look out for each other
Can Spears stop saying " grown men".. these aren't the men of yesteryears .. social media addicted grown children with nose rings and purple hair. And I know Spears has to push some narrative but he acting like what Myer alegedy said is the worst thing a coach has said..
Meyer damaged himself badly enough to a point where he probably won't even get consideration for another college job (coaching or broadcasting).
Urban Meyers was an incompetent and arrogant coach who required his college athletes to genuflect when he entered and exited a room. When he went to the NFL his players expected him to be knowledgeable and professional. He was neither. Together with assistant coaches, players exited him … stage left.
I have a friend who disagrees with me about the college "portal." I believe it's a good thing. Because there are too many college coaches who are cut from the same Meyer cloth … many! The portals allows student athletes to get a chance to play and find more supportive environments. As Burrow said in an interview: It should be a business decision not purely an emotional one. Whatever, the portal is an escape hatch, safety hatch. Think it will allow more student athletes leverage; where before it was a closed system. One that could possibly allow abuse, humiliation and learned helplessness.
Another college coach who couldn't cut it as NFL coach.
A clear indictment of how America allows "certain people" to continue to "fail upward" despite the availability of a treasure trove of evidence of their incompetence!
Isn't it fitting that one of the worst owners in sports hired him 😂🤣🤣🤣
An Urban Meyer movie is going to be great lmao
I did not think Meyer should coach in the NFL as its a bigger headache but what we have today are Generation of Men who most never had real discipline at home and when a Coach says one little thing to them to motivate them to get them to play with that "chip" on the shoulder which you have to have to make the play they play the "hes psychologically abusing me". Its called Grow a pair ya bunch of wuzzies ! Guarantee, everyone reading this/watching this has said something to others that they deemed okay to say yet,would be egregious to others . I have never been a fan of Blame the coach, Grown men should know how to get the ball in the endzone even without a coach so WAAAAAAAAAAA
Doug Pedersen already makes the Jags WORLDS better!
i'm glad Marcus Spears brought up the Zach Smith incident. I know it was almost 4 years ago but I'm just absolutely shocked that everyone has completely forgotten about that. It will never sit right with me that Ohio State did not fire Urban Meyer after that. Absolutely despicable
The dude completely ruined an organization in less than a year lol.
Stephen A killed this. He was 110% right.
That's what it was…in college, he was dealing with kids…he's a bully
And no one said or did anything all those years he didn't just start being like that
That Deebo guy at Clemson is another guy you should be looking at
SO glad USC didnt hire this guy.
MEYER is an idiot. It was brushed under the carpet at ohio state because he won games. BUT….anyone can win at ohio state with the talent they have. Meyer got too much credit. And he is a toxic person. His coaching career is officially over.
These guys, who lack the command of the English language, is calling Urban Meyer incompetent. Go figure. Urban Meyer pisses more knowledge about football away than these guys will ever learn on purpose.
I'd like to comment but this situation is too stressful. I'm going to the club to visit my grandson.
Meyer went to University of Cincinnati not Clemson
Totally great point by Marcus – "You have grown men also reporting on you with a platform." He could intimidate and get reporters from local rags fired, take away access, etc….
blah blah blah…. none of you guys have coached college or pros. hush!!
