Urban Meyer Still Adjusting To Speed Of NFL Cover-Ups
JACKSONVILLE, FLβApologizing to Jaguars fans for his early failures in leading the team, Jacksonville coach Urban Meyer admitted to reporters Tuesday that he is still adjusting to the speed of NFL cover-ups. βAt the college level, these scandals take a lot longer to develop, and Iβll admit I just havenβt done the work to adjust my press strategy from Ohio State,β said Meyer, who explained that he was often able to shut down a damaging story or sweep a playerβs transgressions under the rug with a single phone call while running a college program. βThe NFL media ecosystem is just more complex than college, so I canβt run with the same simple denials I used in the past. Iβm dealing with grown adults now, and lots of people have their own ideas that I canβt just override by throwing them off the team or threatening to take away a scholarship. Jaguars fans deserve a better level of cover-up than Iβve been providing, and Iβm committed to learning and getting better.β At press time, Meyer had hired a former assistant from the Steelers so he could learn how they managed to sweep everything Ben Roethlisberger has done under the rug.

Rumor has it that Pete Carroll did quite well with the co-eds at USC when he was there.

In retrospect, some of the creepiest lyrics in pop music history.

What he should be ashamed of is giving up on his team. Choosing not to fly back with them after the game and getting back to work on improving his team. Instead, he wanted to "get out of dodge". He wanted to "spend some time with my grandkids". Wasn't his fault some people tried to "drag him out on the dance floor".
So he's a horny old man. That's fine as long as it's consensual and his wife is OK with some kind of open arrangement. That's not what will bring about the end of his time with the Jags. Giving up on the team and having zero respect from the players in the locker room will.

You sound pretty judgmental here.

Which part, horny or old? Or man?

(Yes, I know that's not the original.)

Good song, creepy lyrics.
"Baby It's Cold Outside". Last years sexual pressure song.
In the movie Neptune's Daughter, which brought the song "Baby It's Cold Outisde" to prominence, the song is sung twice: once with Esther Williams not wanting to stay and Ricardo Montalban telling her it's cold outside, and a second time with the gender roles reversed, as Red Skelton doesn't want to stay and Betty Garrett tells him it's cold outside.
The people in that song know what they're doing, and anybody seriously trying to get the song pulled needs to be ridiculed mercilessly.
I wonder if Urbanβs washed his hand yet.

Itβs hilarious he was so stupid as to get busted in such away, but the troubling part is how heβs managing his team. Seems like he doesnβt give a shit, he thinks he can pull his college used car salesman crap with other professional adult men and get away with it all. Jaguars need to be done with him yesterday.
Contrast Urban Meyer to our guy who is players seem to love and respect and shows them love and respect.

Uh-oh, MLF called Rodgers an old man
I see he congratulated 21 but not 44....

His wife made him.
Wouldn't be surprised if he shows up with that finger in a splint.
The good news is the gal can now skip her colonoscopy.
Speaking of coaches in hot waterβ¦.Jon Gruden is boiling in a lobster pot.
I was shocked when I saw Urban signed on to coach the Jags. After Saban, Kelly, Spurrier, Davis, and Petrino all failed pretty spectacularly, not sure why he thought he could do any better. College is 90% recruiting and motivating players, and 10% game day planning. NFL is 10% motivating your players and 90% game day planning. Ohio State had maybe 2-3 real games each year whereas the NFL offers no freebies. The NFL is a an unforgiving grind and if you don't win, they want your head.
Not sure what Urban thought he was getting into but he didn't do his due diligence. This is well on its way to being one of the most catastrophic hires ever.
part of me thinks it might have been about ego and money
Only part?

Racist fuck! Turn up the heat on him. π
The main notable college coaches that succeeded in the NFL were Pete Carroll and Jimmy Johnson. Pete Carroll coached in the NFL for 15 years (including some years as a pretty component head coach in New England between Parcells and Belichick), went to USC, and then came back to coach the Seahawks. He obviously knew what he was getting into. Dick Vermeil came from UCLA to coach the Eagles in the 70s, but he also had NFL experience before he went to UCLA.
Jimmy Johnson is the only elite college coach to succeed at the NFL without at least some previous NFL experience (even people like Bud Wilkinson failed miserably). However, you could argue that Jimmy Johnson in Dallas had more of a college-type job. Because of the Herschel Walker trade, the Cowboys were clearly superior to almost every team on their schedule and he just had to manage egos and keep guys from being arrested (just like he did with the Hurricanes).

Aaron Rodgers nailed it on Pat McAfee on Tuesday, basically he said college players have to buy into their coaches BS because coaches hold their professional future hostageβ¦they could bench a player, trash them to scouts, whatever and it could effect their draft stock. Thatβs why they call them Coach. NFL players and coaches are all professionals working to the same goal and itβs why theyβre all on a first name basis. I think these college coaches that fail canβt switch gears and show players respect, they think they hold power over them and players will buy into their BS. Players genuinely seem to respect Jimmy Johnson and Pete Carroll, I think thatβs ultimately the big difference.
So what we've learned from all this is Urban Meyer is a gigantic piece of shit?
Well, that and some girls like to dance on fists.
I think the main takeaway is that I'm getting invited to the wrong sort of parties.
Shit. If this is gonna be that kind of party, Iβm gonna stick my dick in the mashed potatoes.
Which ones are Bob and Henry?
Pete Carroll is a fucking douchebag as well. Heβs not quite the dirtbag that Urb has been but he cut and run the minute the NCAA started investigating the rogue U$C program.
Jimmy Johnson caught lightning in a bottle and look at some of his assistant and position coaches at the U. Then at Dallas. Itβs a whoβs who list from top to bottom.
I doubt if Bob and Henry were even born when that pic was taken, probably by you.

I've heard members of that team over the years talk about how their schemes were never anything inventive or exotic. They were very meat and potatoes but they won because they usually won their 1-on-1's. They were just better than most teams they faced. Hell, Barry Switzer won a ship with that team.
So, youβre saying that good players matter? Interesting take.
