This was probably a tame weekend compared to the "recruiting trips" Urban must have had.
When you're hired to coach a professional team for the first time but they didn't know you were actually Rodney Dangerfield from Back to School.
He gets no respect. Just the finger pointing
I heard at halftime he’s gonna do the triple lindy!
@@dustonlindeman5245 pun......intended?
Lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣 No respect
lol
Urban Meyer represents every worst aspect of college football. He was coddled because his teams won, yet scandals followed him everywhere. He clearly think he is untouchable and better than everyone else. The Jaguars may have made the worst coaching hire since Bobby Petrino.
Needless to say I'm loving all of this.
Who has played better Mac or Trevor
@@Gtrips07
Mac
I’m reading your post & thinking Paternio before I saw your example. Falcons & Jags both make horrible decisions.
Nonsense....he’s a phenomenal college coach..,among the very best of all time. Nothing like Petrino. Perhaps he’ll leave the NFL in disgrace but the dude is a titan of the college game.
@@33moneyball Meyer's was a titan.
Urban Meyer: "You guys fly ahead! I'm staying behind to check out this new Tight End!"
maybe a wide reciever
This is classic! 😂
@Tom Reedy Lol! If she didn't physically kick his butt, financially, she might!
I live in Jacksonville and I said the moment they announced Meyer as the head coach that it was a HUGE mistake he is NOT an NFL coach. PERIOD!!!
It’s a all a front. He doesn’t want to be there. He steps down for “treatment” introduced as USC Coach by January
january? you mean november😂😂
@@universe-ie2mk yeah you mean next week 😂
wouldn't shock me at all if that happened...his NFL days were numbered the day he signed with Jax
@@kirkangel525 oh right.. it’s the city’s fault
UF situation 2.0. Introducing head coach of Ohio State......
Guess what, they should never have hired him in the first place!
Don't be mad at @UrbanMeyer. He was just looking for a new tight end.
Very underrated comment.
Carol Folt didn’t want Urban Meyer before this mess because this is the exact sort of thing she was worried about. Folt and USC are definitely not going to hire him now
Thought he was the coach.....turns out he is a player
Good one lol
Lol
If I am a Jaguars player, I am going to purposely miss the team plane this coming Sunday. NOW let's see what happens!
agreed
Overreaction much? Lol
Too bad its a home game
Fines will ensue.
@@kentnorris8667 that would make it even better 🤷♂️
Game in Jacksonville and the player ends up back in Ohio 😂
Mike Lambardi is the only guy that actually gets it. Everyone else is making excuses for Myers.
...and Khan needs to read GRIDIRON GENIUS. Like yesterday.
I never understood why they hired him.
Check out his podcast it’s great
I have not heard anyone making excuses.
Paul Finebaum has been extremely critical of Meyer, calling him a liar and a fraud, a coach not suited to coach at the NFL level. That's as harsh a criticism as I've ever heard anyone speak of an NFL coach.
Is this going to be the quickest firing of a coach?
We just might find out
possibly
Nagys seat is hot up here. And Khan is different. It should be tho. Fire him with cause. Don't have to pay him.
We'll see.
Ever? The quickest ever was week 2 of the preseason.
You cannot be a hypocrite in front of your players. Everything he wrote in his book (ABOVE THE LINE) is now a joke. You embarrassed your owner. Not good. It's a matter of when, not if, Meyer is sent packing.
Exactly.
Can only be as good as the person leading the way. Huge lack of leadership deciding not the fly back with team after a loss.
The owner is too busy playing with bullshit wrestlers to care lol
@@Steve-eq8iz that's just the son. Also AEW is a legitimate competitor. They just upped their game big time by signing CM Punk, Bryan Danielson (known in WWE as "Daniel Bryan") and Adam Cole
It makes sense for the Jags to cut bait. They could actually wind up having a season. I don't really have anything against Meyer, I think that Tebow fiasco was for culture and attitude at best, but no way is USC going anywhere near this man!
He clearly doesn’t want to coach in the NFL. No coach that’s fully committed does stuff like this. He’s always been a phony and sleezeball.
Definitely looking like Urb is trying to get fired.
When he brought in his neighbor, Tim Tebow to play TE, I knew the Jaguars were going to be a Clown show! As a Jets fan I ask: Could he be possibly worst than Adam Gase??? How is that possible!! Hope they don't ruin Trevor Lawrence, cause I don't see him getting help from this coaching staff!
Yes, I said the Tebow thing was proof that Jax is not serious about winning. Complete clown show.
Honestly I think Gase could out coach him
Tim Tebow is a great kid and has incredible work ethic and is very mature. Maybe he was the best thing about that dumpster fire of a team.
Mr. Arrogance got caught. Thank you whoever took this video. The real Urban Meyer just stood up
Urban is simply showing who and what he is …. let’s quite sugar coating it.
Totally agree. He showed his true colors when he left Florida. Hes about himself
@Chatsworth Osborne, Jr. its not about that. He has as much commitment to the team as he does his wife. He didnt even fly home with them after the loss. He stayed and partied. Real leader there.
@Chatsworth Osborne, Jr. If he was single yeah whatever but hes married
Khan should just move Urban to AEW and make him a heel manager.
LOL accurate
He'd probably screw that up too.
@@joshuabrown5123 Well, not talking into the camera and showing very little emotion would definitely screw up a heel manager.
This made me literally LOL
No thank you
The circus with Tebow this offseason was a massive red flag, and it was ignored.
The “circus with Tebow” ? Seems a tad dramatic.
@@daledykes9253 It's not at all
@@rh7074 nobody triggers snowflakes like Tebow.
@@daledykes9253 the players were nothappy because it took valuable reps away from legit players.
@@Cuffski players were triggered.
Does anyone forget the scandal at Ohio? Hes the same person and finally got caught.
@Ant, exactly right 💯
Nope I do not GO BLUE!
Its hard coaching in the pros when all the talent is equal lol
Lombardi’s view will single handedly end Meyer’s tenure in the NFL.
No. Myer single handedly ended his own tenure in the NFL. Lombardi simply called a spade a spade just like he saw it.
Lombardi us a joke!
The story of this offseason should be the battle between the bears for the head coaching services of Eric B from Kc if either these franchises know what's good for them
So much hype for a man who was calling the plays when the Chiefs offense seemed to be off.
@@bourboncask4089 literally one bad game in how many years as the oc ? Also the players literally didn't show up outside of pat that day and it's clear as day. The amount of plays that were not mad because of mental mistakes or lack of effort by the chiefs is massive.
Also Kyle Shannon got a job after blowing the largest lead in playoff history because he wanted to be cute. Then blew another lead as a head coach. Sean mcvavay couldn't even score a touchdown I'm the Superbowl so is he not worthy of hype ?
Eric like Nagy doesn't call the plays. If that failed with Nagy people fear it will with Eric. Js. Now, Douggie P won a SB sooo.
@@knowledgeuntamed9177 naggys problem is mental/massive ego which doesn't exist with either of the two. (After Doug won a Superbowl his got big but that's pretty fair in my book.
all three of them called plays throughout those tenure as oc for kc. They were not the primary playcallers Because it's Andy Reid but all of them where calling plays enough to show they could do it. Eric was calling plays last year in both the regular season and playoffss
Bears are not going for another OC from Andy Reid back to back and that has nothing to do with Bienemy but we had enough of Nagy. We need to go ina different direction
Dude put in an Ohio state shirt, went to his own bar? That's 100% narcissist move. If he was genuine he'd have wore a Jags shirt and owned the struggle.
Damn, you're good.
Well clearly a Ohio State shirt gets you more tail than a Jaguars shirt!
DeShaun Watson somewhere thinking "that's my coach"
Watson went to Clemson and think you want to say Haskins. Only similarities between Watson and Haskins is their both black quarterbacks. Haskins is no where near the talent Watson is.
@@paulmilford1187 um, no I'm saying that cause Watson is a creep & that is the kind of coach he'd love to play for
@@cg5471 So is Big Ben and he should have retired years ago. Urban Meyers always made controversial choices and some how some way he gets another chance because he's a "great coach". He left Florida when he knew he couldn't win any more and he wore out his welcome at Ohio State now at Jacksonville. From wanting to bring in a racist coach then signing Tim Tebow and now embarrassing himself at his own restaurant. I would be surprise if he makes it pass this season as the coach unless this team shows improvement.
@@paulmilford1187 sure, throw rapisberger in there too. I don't care, I'm just making fun of these creeps.
Ok I’m a huge Watson fan but that’s pretty good 😂😂.
Imagine Meyer telling college kids he's preparing them for the NFL...
Or nick Saban for all it matters
What did Jacksonville think would happen? Urb couldn't hack a cushy college job for more than a couple of years at time, how did they think he would do in the NFL with one of the worst franchises in the league?
Rich is loving this. Go blue
Hail to the Victor's....GO BLUE.
I did not know that Urban Meyer did not fly back with his team after the game. I thought he was just hanging out. My guess is he may want to get fired because he may not have the patience and ability to help this team win. And if he gets fired he gets paid. Also, he may want the USC job so this is a good way to get out.
There's no excuse for a head coach not to fly back with his team after a game...
Great point at the end, "if USC wants him". I know NCAA is no stranger to controversy, but what University would put themselves in a position where they have to back this guy's questionable track record??
There's video of him trying to give a co-ed the shocker, fired in disgrace from the NFL...should be a hard pass for USC.
Dont fire him, its what he wants!
Agree. He wants to be free for the USC job.
Hey man chill. Some of us actually wanna see the jags succeed sooner or later.
If I was a Jacksonville fan I would want him gone as long as they can fire him using the moral clause in his contract so the team won't have to pay him. This crap can't be good for Trevor Lawrence's development.
Let him quit👌
I'm sure his wife will stand by him.
As a Jaguars fan, he should be gone asap. Maybe there would be a chance to get someone in there and salvage the season - it wasn't gonna be good anyway, but at least it would be better than these kinds of embarrassments.
Trent Baalke destroying another team. 49ers fans rejoiced when he was fired.
.....Trent didn't hire Urban
@@Jaxboy86 Not what he said. Baalke built this team. Badly. Just like he did in SF.
@@lynnerose7891 yall need to look again.
2:51 Eisen says he is "kinda speechless." 😅🤣 Eisen NEVER misses a chance to flap his lips.
Man that is breaking with a serious tradition. The entire team travels together. Unless there was an emergency.
The lap grind is simply a prelude ....., there is more to this story than just this short video. What happened next Urbane?
It’s a shame the owner has to start over again, and the players have had to deal with a coach who has outright failed them. It’s a shame for Jaguar fans too. Especially the season ticket holders.
What a waste.
The worst part is that he brought in all the rest of the coaching staff. The team has to somehow fully rotate it's entire coaching staff out mid season if they fire Meyer, which might mean he makes it to the end of the season.
My O/U for Meyer as the head coach was 3 yrs. I chose the under.
He may not make it thru the first......LOL.
I must make a correction: Even if Urban was at Ohio State, you as a coach, never leave your team behind...no matter what.
You have Trent Baalke as the GM of the Jacksonville Jaguars? Go Figure!!! I get it now.
Trent didn't hire Urban
This season was supposed to be about Trevor Lawrence's development. If I were Trevor's dad, I wouldn't trust Urban Meyer to develop my son any further than I can throw him. This team leadership is a reeking dumpster fire. And if USC wants Urban, they better know that he's gonna get a lot tougher questions from recruits' parents than he would have a year ago.
Lane Kiffin better coach than Urban 'shocker' Meyer
I wonder if Steel Panther are going to write a song about Urban at some point
And yet byron leftwich and eric bienemy cant sniff a head coaching job. Lol
Not so easy when you have to lead men instead of college kids who's future is in your hands
Michael Lombardi is so good. Speaks the truth. He is a breath of fresh air!
Yep, I thought Mr Kahn got it right this time but no will have to try again.
Man this was a really good segment
Crazy that Urban would go to this trouble to coach at USC.
Lombardi called this weeks ago
You media people should leave urban alone this is not the business of the jags their ownership or the fans
The media's been fashioned this dude since day one I know he's really disliked by a lot of people! It's going to take eight games to get that team together at all. No he shouldn't get fired for the flu incident recently! I can't believe everybody is overreacting so much! I think it's especially the analysts were being so two-faced! I'm not in Urban Meyer fan ! I think you can turn them into a hell of a football team in about 2 years! What the media is doing to the sickening and wrong! A lot worse than anything he's done!
This isn't about Urban wanting the USC job. USC could have had Urban in 2019. It's about him being just like Steve Spurrier and Nick Saban - none of them qualify as NFL coaches even though they were great coaches for college teams.
If someone is telling you who they are, listen to them.
No way he gets fired. Jags owner is a cheap dude.
If he's fired for violating the morals clause in the contract, Urban doesn't get paid and there's no dead money
@@joekaput747 It's tempting, and why I think they should just go ahead and do it. If the players start making sarcastic tweets, he's done. It's cleaner this way.
Urban: How can I get out of this contract and go to USC? Ah I know 😆 🤣 😂
@RichEisen is a attorney i believe right? Or was? If you fire him now for cause not only do you not have to pay him. He has to pay the bonus $ back. Somebody needs to tell Khan this.
None of this should surprise anyone who has paid any attention to Urban Meyer.
“Everything he’s done doesn’t make sense” Erk
Good thing the jags dodge the whole tebow distraction situation.....a winless team can't afford needles bad press.
🤣🤣🤣
Please keep him away from USC
If I was USC I wouldn’t touch him with a 10 foot pole
He never should have been hired in the NFL in the first place there were more qualified coaches already in the NFL that should have gotten the job...and he looks ill... the Tebow incident was ridiculous and hiring of the racist strengthening coach Urban has lost all credibility with his players and fans
The Jags firing Meyer may not be a bad move financially if they know Meyer will be coaching at USC, LSU, Miami (FL), or even Florida State next year. The Jags would only have to pay the difference of what he would’ve made with the Jags versus one of those other teams.
I thought woody Johnson was the dumbest owner in the NFL but Shad Khan is trying to take the 1st spot.
His restaurant he was at was called Urban Meyer's Pint house? It should be called Urban Meyer's Pink House!
Not now when that offense just came together against the #6 defense...
Sounds like a toilet was flushed at 3:38
USC should not get him. We have had over 10 years of headaches with coaches, we don’t need another one. Championships are not worth that much trouble.
Oh man! Coach Caldwell would have that offense humming!
Bill Parcells did not fly home with the Patriots after Superbowl XXXI January 26, 1997.
I don't mean to belittle Michael Lombardi's credibility in a cynical way, but this is the guy who said that Doug Pederson was the worst coach in the history of the NFL. He said he would never be successful and never make it to a super bowl. It was one of THE worst takes, one of THE worst comments in sports reporting history. His assertion was absolutely wrong and he likes to act that moment never happened.
I want to appreciate what Michael's saying here about Urban Meyer a little bit more and he certainly has some good points. But it seems ironic to me that someone who made an off the cuff hot take about an NFL head coach was egregiously wrong and somewhat offensive can give a coach such a hard time for not flying back with the team in a similar hot off the press decision. Absolutely, Meyer's decisions were horrific, awful and inexcusable. And, I would be totally fine with the Jags firing him. But, to act like Meyer is making stupid decisions that no one else has made is a bit outlandish to me.
Meyer not flying back with the team isn't the real, big issue. The issue is what he did while he was in Ohio.
Urb is a narcissist. The Rules don’t apply to him. Anyone who has worked with him knows he’s a fraud. Today, his body language in the “second apology presser” was absolutely horrible. I feel bad for Shad who is trying to build a winner. Yet, this behavior is what he gets from his head coach.
Guys like Shad Kahn don't put humpy dumpty back together again
Urban Meyer as an NFL coach is done. The smartest thing that the Jags can do is to part ways with him ASAP. The next thing is to have one of the coordinators take over in the interim coaching role. As soon as the season for the Bills ends then they need to offer Brian Daboll the head coaching job. He has worked wonders with Josh Allen and can do the same with Lawrence.
I think if they go 0-5 hes gone. No reason to stick with him after that.
That's what's great about the NFL. College kings can't set up their fiefdom and grab all the top recruits every year.
Look at how Cliff Kingsberry is doing with the Cardinals!
@@chrisyanover1777 Kingsbury isn't a college king like Meyer and Saban or Spurrier. He didn't win any national championships or have the pick of #1 recruits. Only Jimmy Johnson and Pete Carroll fit that mold, but those 2 took some lumps before winning in the NFL. But at least Jimmy and Pete won eventually.
Just Urban being Urban. Who honestly didn't expect some form of shenanigans from him when he was hired?
As far as USC is concerned, I'm sure their view of all is somewhere along the lines of "Nothing to see here, folks." It'd be more newsworthy if USC declined to make him an offer for this, but that would probably never happen.
Rex Ryan should get this Job tommorow
All the Gossips need something to talk about
I think we may be overlooking an important thing here - was this all a ploy by Meyer to be fired? I mean he knew this girl way back in July (at least) and he has always shown himself to be made of teflon when it came to hiding things. Point being, I highly doubt he randomly one day became stupid, decided to go to a bar with a girl he already knew/had hired before in July, and then randomly videos of him finger gunning her butthole randomly are everywhere by accounts that randomly disappear. This would be the perfect out for him by getting fired. It's not like he needs the money.
They should get rid of him and get Joe Brady from Carolina and this coming from a Jets fan that wanted him as our head coach
Quit treating these men like they are gods
Never understood the hire!
Meyer wants out but needs to not look like a quitter. This seems like a deliberate set up for a tame but not too damaging exit from the club.
And maybe USC would have wanted him if he wasn't an NFL coach this year.
should have never been hired. such a head case.
They should fire him....getting your (potentially generational) franchise QB to take a beating and play gunslinger each week will wear him out and can ruin him.
Not everyone is Payton. Get an NFL coach who can command the dressing room, and get Trevor through the season without any major injuries.
Maybe a dink and dunk offense for the year till the squad can be reshaped and improved.
There is nothing to think about here. This is irretrievable, he did not act like a coach, period.
Give Urban time and he will turn the Jags around. He took over a 1 win team. There’s a reason they had the number one overall pick in the draft. Even the great Jimmy Johnson went 1-15 in his first year. Urban just needs time to get better players. If after 2-3 years he hasn’t adjusted to the NFL and ain’t producing wins then sure he needs to be cut loose.
The only remote precedent is when Parcells didn't fly back with the Patriots after the SB in '07...and that was because he was resigning. Oh yeah, for sure Urban's got it rolling. Frankly, I want to see him hang around at least a few more weeks and get humiliated even more before they can him.
Meyer's "night out" was in Columbus, not Cincinnati. C-Bus is where he still has friends and businesses. The Twitter account that broke this was set up specifically to put the video out there. That account has since been deleted. So, yeah, there's people like that among us.
Yep they made him do it..
Made him not take the team flight. Made him go 0-4. Made him screw up at Ohio State and Florida. Poor Urban.
Coming soon to the ATL! Jaguar Night at Magic City!! LEMON PEPPER WET!!!🍺🍺
He's making Nick Saban's time in Miami look GREAT!
He’s catching up to Petrino from the outside.
Saban did not have a QB in Miami
Urban is doing his best to get himself fired. The big question is would USC or any other program hire him now with all that baggage? Doubtful
He has been a disaster ever since Florida. A walking controversy. Whenever people figure it, he folds, get sick and abandons ship. He shouldn’t even be allowed to college with crap that his programs have been involved in.
Michael Lombardi the man who fired a Scout who had Cancer in Cleveland 😡😡😡😡
I think the job was just too big for Urban Meyer. I don't know if he ever was an assistant in the NFL before his success in college but hey College and the NFL yes it is the game of football but two totally different situations.
Did he break the Law ? no, leave him alone , that would apply to anyone
If they were winning, I wonder what the reaction would be?
Sports Center: Brought to you byeeeee.... URBAN OUTFITTERS!
Ya. Cmon Urban. Your not supposed to lose any games in your first season with a rookie QB
that has nothing to do with it. at all
