So he needs a break after only 4 games of a 17 game, 18 week season? Perhaps Urban is in over his head, just like many are claiming.
Yeah maybe this was just his way of trying to get himself fired.
I was thinking the same thing , clear your head in February dude !!!
@@agent_of_cthulhu Trying to pull a George Costanza.
Well he's in at least over his knuckles.
@@joshuabrown5123 at least Costanza is fun at it, what does Urban Meyer has?
I didn't see the "every team is Alabama" comment as being a good thing.. I thought it was embarrassing. This is the pros man. This is elevated. Made it seem like to me that he was unprepared or feeling overwhelmed.
This is going to be a hell of a soap opera, can’t wait to see how it all plays out.
As a 49er fan, I had the difficult task of learning that Trent Baalke was way over his head as a GM. Kind of speaks to the state of the organization. Time to wipe the slate clean.
I'm a 9er fan too and I hope that Jaguars fans know that they're in good hands with a competent GM who's able to right the ship in times of crisis. *Sarcasm*
i mean it speaks volumes that in an organization that hired Baalke, that's not even their worst hire
Baalke was hired after Meyer. His whole staff is just a group cobbled together by who knows who, but most don't even seem to have been former coaches of Meyers previous teams. Urban was given the keys to the organization, it's his show, unfortunately for that team. Now Jags ownership is trying to find a way out of it without paying him the rest of his contract. With good reason, since Meyer has shown in multiple ways he doesn't even want to be there.
Probably was just given a contract so big, he couldn't say no to it. Probably been wishing he did for months though.
Blind leading the blind.
Trent is a puppet. Urban is the coach/gm/OF*DF Coordinators/head scout. Very few GM would have agreed to a deal where the head coach outranks him. The only other Coach that has more power than the GM is New England where Coach Belichick outranks GM Belichick.
Urban is a narcissist. A snake-oil salesman. Always has been. Our local high school coaches laughed at the way he operates. He was successful in college because he was a tenacious recruiter. However, he’s not regarded as sincere. He shakes your hand and is already looking over your shoulder or through you. Anyone who has been around him for any length of time comes to that conclusion. Sounds like the Jags players have discovered that already. Shad Kahn an astute businessman, got bad advice when he made the hire.
Who’s Shad Kahn???
Easy to be one in the 21st century when humans have devolved greatly. Kinda like you get picked for somethibg you didnt want to do because youre standing in front of everyone, but the only reason youre standing in front of everyone is because everyone took a huge step back.
@Jerry Rebolledo last name “Kahn” is exclusively Jewish though.
@@icelandic_mughal2223 True, so far as I know. But, this guy’s name is Khan.
@Jerry Rebolledo Calm down, Jerry. Check his spelling. Kahn vs Khan. The fact that he mentioned Jewish and you Muslim, at all, is the issue. What's the difference and who cares? This is football and the top priority is MONEY. The NFL doesn't want to see one of their teams "lay down" for an entire season.
Rich is a Michigan guy right?? Lmao make no mistake he’s loving every second of this
I'm a Michigan guy and I'm loving it.
I'm an Ohio state guy and I'm loving it....dude is full of himself
15 fantasy leagues and I’m loving it.
Haha oh hell ya
Rich is an NFL guy. He is speaking for some of the players
3:41 literally the only circumstance I remember this happening, was 1996, when Bill Parcells didn't fly back with the Patriots after the super bowl.
Bill Parcells had the Clout to get away with it where this Clown doesn't..
Nick Saban left the Dolphins at halftime way back when
Parcells was already halfway out the door before the Superbowl. The Jets rumors were loud and Bill had already been told that he couldn't have control front office in New England. The majority of questions for Parcells during Superbowl media week were about his future and whether he was leaving.
@@tomwalsh63, when?
@@6.4hemidriver44 right before he left for Bama
It seems like a lot of College coaches are not leaders of Men instead they are power hungry and need to be in an environment where they cannot be challenged or questioned...Demanding respect without giving respect..Taking advantage of the fears of College players because of the dynamic
Brian Kelly is like that for sure, he literally threatened the ND players at halftime. Supposed to be a teacher. Gets upset with reporters doing their job, an environment of fear.
Excellent insights... Thank you.
Except for Pete Caroll.
@@kenmcphail1320 He started out as an NFL coach first..Then went to College and back to the NFL
So has always been an NFL guy..Jimmy Johnson is a better example
Imagine if a shaun mcvay or shanahan came into the jags situation with the most cap space and the 1st overall pick. Most competent coaches would have produced at a better product even if the record was the same.
Urban: _Everybody's like Alabama around here_
Saban: _You're god damn right_
Saban also: dang I remember when I failed in the NFL too.
😂😂😂😂😂
Why curse God for a laugh
@@TB-fz6jhSaban Also: 7 National Titles and the Greatest Dynasty in College Football History...
@@TB-fz6jh at least Saban's Dolphins were competitive.
College coaches get way to much credit.
And money……
As an NFL fan from Europe, I still don't get how Americans are wild about college sports.
@@jakovbrizic Because College Football was more popular than the NFL back in the day....until the 1970's or so College Football was king. It wasn't until the Super Bowl era did the NFL became popular. Plus there are a lot more college teams than professional teams. And as a college student in America, sports is part of the college experience. The traditions, friendships that I made from attending college sports is something special. I wish the rest of the world could experience it.
Dude is flaming out 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
These type of things follow him from team to team, that's why he doesn't stay long. He won't stay in Jax either!
...perhaps Urban wasn't fondling that young lady's behind, but was just showing her how a QB under center takes the snap? No? I didn't think so, either.
Urban Meyer said he came to Columbus to clear his head, after the game in Cincinnati, my question is, how can you clear your head by getting drunk ?
Get lost in the sauce 😂😂😭😭😂😂
He wanted some sloppy top.
I mean, I do some pretty good thinking when I'm drunk, I just dont make the best decisions because im drunk
He misspoke a bit. He meant he wanted to clear himself into someone’s head.
Some smoke a joint to clear their head... some people go for a walk. Urban prefers fingering coeds
He wants to get fired. Even if it wasn't a conscious plan, he wants out so he did something to facilitate that desire.
Exactly
You don't get yourself fired by making yourself a national joke and getting divorced.
In the ultimate 'Leader of Men' sport Kahn hired a cub scout leader.
And that miiiiiiight be an insult to Cub Scout leaders…..
I’m guessing Meyer and that girl in question previously knew each other and were spending time together, or were about too.
Got some 'splaining to do to the wife...
Yep. She's been his Piece for awhile. Nothin' to do w Wifey or Grandchildren. All about hoo-Ha
Urban literally owns that bar.
That man is beyond stupid.
Much respect.
This Man is the #1 sports commentator. Balance and professional.
Seems like the Jags always find a way to debacle their season.
This is true. Go jags tho
College "coaching" is about being good at recruiting, and then you win when your players are just way more talented than the other team. NFL coaching is about knowing football and managing people to get the best out of them. With the salary cap, you'll almost never coach with the kind of player talent advantage you can get in college. They are very different skill sets, and why I can't bring myself to give a fig about college football.
You would think college coaches would be considered for gm roles instead at this point. Considering they're job is 85% roster building 15% coaching
@@matthewhowie1220 I mean Urban had personnel input as well.
See : Ettienne draft pick
Hey now. Don't forget about being able to funnel money to players while maintaining plausible deniability, burying news about player scandals, and how to line up a new job right before the hammer falls from the NCAA.
EXACTLY
Prove it.
Bill O'Brien be looking at this and going "How embarrassing."
I kind of feel bad for Lawrence. What a mess.
I wonder what Trevor Lawrence’s dad thinks about all of this. What a joke
Son was that Head & Shoulders contract long term?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dad's option doesn't matter, all that matters in the contract
I don't care what he thinks, why do you? Does Lawrence still need his daddy to think for him?
Wait to hear her story!!
Rich: Look, I know. I know. Grinding a dead horse here. What? Oh. I meant beating. No...wait....
I said that he'd run away like usual, just needed his scandal and now he has it. Gutless fraud
What? He is the third greatest college coach of my lifetime. Saban failed in the nfl too. Give the guy a break.
@@rab5567 What you want him to do is irrelevant. He will repair relationships that are important to him. Everyone else he'll say fu%k off. Like the rest us would do.
@@rab5567 usc ain’t touching him with a 10 foot pole. He’s gonna end up at LSU
"we're still not at the apex of the arc going down."
or maybe there was never an arc, we were going straight down from the very beginning, and we're finally realizing it.
I wonder what the drawbacks of just firing Urban and giving Darrell Bevel the head job for the rest of the year would be. Yes his tenure in Detroit was lackluster, but the guy is at least capable of coaching at the professional level, which I don’t think Urban seems to be
Darrell Bevel at least has experience with young QBs. He was Russell Wilson's coordinator for his first 5 years or so. Keeping him might be smart.
Paying urban is the only sticking point I keep hearing.
The drawbacks? There are literally millions of them, and they are all green with pictures of old dead guys who founded the American Republic.
Rich your analysis is always the best!
Just proves that college coaches are a complete joke. It’s ALL recruiting. 5 stars with 5 star backups win nattys
Agreed! When I see an Alabama receiver catch the ball, break 3 tackles, and then blows past 3 other defenders to score….Nick Saban can just go to the locker room at that point. Just let his team play backyard football and they will still beat most teams.
USC and Clay Helton would disagree lol
Matt Rhule and Jimmy Johnson are exceptions to that statement.
@@JTMagee Rhule had a rep of taking really bad situations in college and fixing them though...also, Jimmy's an interesting one. He was a good team builder and coach, but he also was pre-salary cap and that team was stacked. When he got out he realized being a consultant and TV guy was a lot safer ;)
Steve Spurrier was a great example, he wanted to go golfing multiple times a week and didn't get that as a pro football coach you really can't do that.
Urban got caught trying to snap a football from a Tight End !
Bruh, the joke's been said a million times already..
I enjoy the lengths you traveled to craft this joke. Good one!👍🏾🙋🏽♀️
Backfield in motion.
Urban Myers tenure with the jags has felt like a fever dream
They were what 1-15 without him. What’s the difference?
And as a Jacksonville resident, I’m ready for it to be over.
I've heard of a coach not flying back with his team after a loss. It took me 15 yrs to forgive Parcels. I still watched all of his press conferences though!
But at least it was after the season - the last game just finished.
I knew of Bill Parcells. I watched Bill Parcells. And Urban Meyer, sir, is no Bill Parcells.
that was after the season that he isnt flying back with his team
Whenever Tom Hanks is ready to play Rich Eisen in a sports movie, that will be great.
I would have Naomi Watts play Trevor Lawrence.
Those health issues are going to come back any day now
Wouldn’t be surprised at all. But you can only play that card a certain number of times and this prick has used all his.
EXACTLY!!!! I JUST wrote that!👍🏾
lead by example and when you lead by example that doesn't stop when you clock out.
Lots of good coaches who would like the opportunity at Jacksonville.
Isn’t Trent Baalke the guy who over saw the 9ers when they were a dumpster fire?
Good vid.
I just wonder why everyone knew but Paul Finebaum was the only one keeping it real.
He was like the only one, but everyone knew the same he knew.
Is there anybody that didn't see this coming??
Nobody is talking about Trent Baalke, and they should.
Matt Nagy says thank you
Everyone's viewing things differently? Pretty sure most people thought the Tebow signing was a bad move when it happened
Constantly waiting for that 'Meyer has left job' announcement 🍿🍿🍿🍿
No question he goes back to college ranks, there are 100 teams looking for winning coaches. And remember this was not about an arrest or hurting any person.
John Madden… have you ever heard of him? Well, he never flew with his team, he is quite famous for it too.
That’s because he had well documented fear of flying. He had a bus to drive state to state. He is quite famous for it too.
Yeah but he won games and demanded the best from his players and didn't go to clubs after losses. John wanted to figure out why and do better.
I hope the OSU marching band reenacts the groping episode at half time
You got my mind racing as to just how the “i” will be dotted. I know how I would do it.
I'm anxiously waiting for the day to come
Have the girl dot the 'i'. And twerk.
I think Urban’s next personal flight will be to Southern California.
The guy is a college coach... he can't handle pro players and he got used to college kids and boosters and everything kept local in whatever city or county the university is located.... and even though college football pretends to be all other worldly... is it really... not from where I'm looking.
especially when he said, he wanted to hang out with the grand kids after the game and see his family. And then he ends up at the bar. No grand kids in sight! lol
Urban is the gatekeeper in college. He controls the guys lives. In the pros, it’s a completely different story
@@jedmonson100 Looks like a nice family get together complete with his hand up some women (not his wifes) dress. Real class act there.
Every nfl coach came from coaching in college.
@@JK-vc7ie Not every NFL coach went from college straight to the NFL as a head coach though. Most coaches take assistant positions, which doesn't garner the same amount of attention.
I studied his facial expressions and behavior..theres something about him that seems dishonest..body language tells you alot about a person
A win against a Titans team that just got embarrassed by the Jets. I think Vrabel and those guys are pissed and its gonna be a tough game for the Jags.
He was just showing his team that “he can score in the red zone late in the game”.
Rich will run with this story for weeks. Michigan fans got Napoleon syndrome.
I honestly can't help but think Urban Meyer set this all up so he could get fired.
But for him to still get hired in NCAA after his rep been ruined....???? Maybe he think he bulletproof like ex dolphin coach saban
Hes actions throughout this tenure I think show hes a bit of the egotistical nature. So I dont think it would be beneath him
@Chandler White lol true man. This man has a way with words to sweet talk dese programs
Not fly back with the team was probably part of the plan. The national humiliation and divorce probably not.
Urban's own arrogance is costing him his career. He thought he could easily turn around a troubled franchise, and he thought he wouldn't be caught with his pants down. in both instances he was wrong.
“Why do you keep talking about it” as you talk about it. lol
It feels like a self sabotage !!
Would it change if he was 4-0 that’s the question
Great question! And, yes. The media, Florida and Ohio would be celebrating him.
He would have never stayed behind at the bar and been in that situation if they were 4-0. The reason why he did all this is because he can’t stand losing while managing a habitual losing franchise.
@@THEEArmoredSaint if you think people celebrate infidelity just because you have a winning coach, then you have a pretty slanted perspective, almost like how fundie xtians are willing to worship Trump for being the best representative of God even tho he has no fundamental principals that lead you to believe he loves Christ
@@JustaPersonTryinToHuman365 whatcha smoking?
@@JustaPersonTryinToHuman365 Trump? You mention Trump? Seriously, lay off the pipe, dude.
God, I love this
"No alumni association in the NFL" LOL!!!
Be well and be at peace.
Watch the janitor in the background getting some air time at 6:38.
8:09 Rich almost says "go f**k off"
Urban Meyer MUST GO!
Urban thinks he @ Florida or Ohio St. These are professional football players & a business not some young impressionable scholarship kids. I don't think he has learned its more than just football
1000% facts
There's going to be a press conference after 0-6
Time for Baalke to team-up with Harbaugh again.
Lots of coaches have stayed in cities and not flown back with the team before. You never heard of it? Really?
Yes, but for what reason?
Example and source?
When he’s making it up as he is explaining it, of course his answers sound confusing at best and outright lies at worse.
I don't think I've seen a video where Rich doesn't say the word vaccination
Seems like Urban Meyer is finding the NFL job a lot harder than he thought it would be. He's always walked into already "made" college programs. Perhaps not the change agent everyone was hoping for.
How would have this episode been viewed/handled if the Jags were 4-0?
winning forgives it all
A coach good enough to be 4-0 wouldn't have skipped the team flight home to go hang out at a bar. so it's a moot question.
@@andrewshandle not really. I ve seen lots of bad coaches and poisonous locker rooms win for a period of time.
@@mauriciokrebs2913 not with a roster as bad as the Jags have you haven’t.
@@andrewshandle this jags team is not the worst thing ever. lets see how the season unfolds.
Idk why media is making such a big deal about this, like three day in the row people talking about it. Match of century is done and now slow media week? And people asking for his firing? Whats wrong with them. This is internal situation that media just becouse of slow week blow up.
Looked like he was enjoying it
coaches have flown with their teams since hot air balloon days
Jville need to go hire Eric Benemy from the chiefs fr
Who do you think wins Sunday Rich?
Score?
Have you ever considered that TL isn't all that?
The biggest urban Meyer exposed was how relentlessly screwed up the media is! The way the media speed is him and the situation is just sickening! They have a bullying mean-spirited attacking approach to dealing with people! Got to show my professionalism and make some changes and how they report stuff!
I don't see how a university like USC could possibly hire Meyers in this day and age? It would be a media nightmare, especially in California.
I think he will interview there. Remember that he did nothing illegal. I'm not an SC fan nor am I defending what he did, but the fact that he always produces championship-caliber college teams makes him an irresistible draw.
My biggest problem is - 0 and 4. your all about winning you had plans for the weekend but 0-4 you cancel your plans and work your arse off those extra days to win a damn game
How did they do last year?
He said he went to go see his grandkids look like to me urban you was trying to make some more grandkids 👀
He should have been fired after the Cincinnati game. Kick the field goal and go up by three scores.
I’m still pissed about that I picked the Jags to win that game and they totally should have
Here's the thing: Urban has been enabled and told he can do whatever he wants for a long time. You think that guy is gonna turn it off and start asking if he's allowed to do things? He had everyone by the balls this off season where he was able to get total power and this is why nobody has ever stepped in
Meyer is clearly not cut out for the big league!
just looking at urbans face he seems like he knows hes in over his head
Winning takes care of everything. If Meyer was winning the same pundits would be arguing why it’s no big deal. Meyer is a family guy….blah blah blah.
I think that’s kinda obvious if he were 4-0 of course no one would care because nothing he’s done is really that big of a deal. Just like if the Seahawks scored that TD in the Super Bowl it would be the greatest play call ever not the worst.
Well yeah, that's why they're talking about the plane not the video.
If they'd won the last two and he said "great job team; everyone take the Friday off to recover" and then done the same stupid thing, it'd've been over in a day.
But when he should be working instead...
You are assuming the Jags have a PR person that should have gave Meyer a course correction ?
He’s not Joe Biden.
No pic., no one cares; and aside from his family, wife in particular, no one should. No story. Jags were a 1 win team. They improved the last two.
People are acting like he took over a winning franchise. They were 1-15. He's a new NFL head coach, everyone knew it was going to be a multi year process not overnight and now when it's happening people are up in arms.
Winning would solve this situation. Unfortunately that isn't going to happen.
Rich, relax. Urban will go to USC, precedence, Saben, Petrino. Relax. Get him to the right spot. Easy. USC top five recruit, done.
No! USC president Carol Folt has already said No last year because of the NCAA issues. The AD has ties to U of Cincinnati coach Luke Fickell
As far as Meyer is concerned, NFL stands for Not For Long..
He's a habitual line stepper. All benefits of doubt have been exhausted
I wouldn't be surprised if Meyer is fired either during the season or after the season.
Great way to get out of a contract, if that's what you wanted?
Its bad when NOT even the Raiders have done that 😑🤣
The problem with the Jags is the owner. All his call to hire the wrong coach.
Is anyone even surprised anymore with this guy? It’s Urban being Urban at this point….
Urban was wanting to clear which head?
*'No Alumni association in the NFL'*
That's funny because if you look at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers coaching staff the majority of them are Temple Alumni's.
From Bruce Arians to Todd Bowled etc.
Lol
Well they may be but they do something, they win in the NFL unlike Urban.
