Urban Meyer has swagger and we need swagger

[Hawkeye0202]

I’m keeping my fingers crossed on Meyer. That dude is one hell of a coach. He’d be a homerun in Dallas, IMO.

Problem is, I want Dallas to win and Kick *** in the playoffs. If that happens, coaching will stay the same.

After all, that’s all I really want: NFC championship game or the super bowl. If we make it there and keep Garrett, I’ll be fine.

UNLESS.....Garrett decides he's had enough Jerry and Stephen. Something else to consider, I'm not they'd give Garrett another five-year extension. Not sure they wanna lock-in that many years with a guy who already been here 10 years.

Side note..... could Jerry's recent statement about finding a way to keep him be an assist GM position.

Cowherd made a pretty good case today about Meyers comments and how he ain’t coming here.

 

[IndianaCowboys1994]

Not 100% sold on him as a pro coach but he would be better than Garrett.

 

[AsthmaField]

I agree 100% that he bailed because of the scandal. I don’t agree that he wasn’t culpable. I don’t want to get into it, but he was a university employee and holds the same responsibility to report as anyone else. He’s not special because he’s a famous and well-paid coach..... There I went getting into it.
Anyway, I think he’s slimy.

I hear ya man.

I’m gonna stay away from going down that Rabbit hole too.

I just think he’s a hell of a coach. That’s all I’m saying.

Hmmmm that’s possible I suppose.

He is a good coach. So was Hal Mumme. So was Briles.

His illness was called: I-got-caught-up-in-a-stupid-domestic-violence-witch-hunt-and-got-blamed-for-crap-I-didn’t-do-and-the-university-just-covered-their-own-butt-and-let-me-get-blamed-itis.

Seriously, I don’t blame him for bailing on that crap university that didn’t have his back.

So why did he leave Florida? Supposedly he left Florida due to health issues too. However, I think he left because he could not stand losing and he knew that he had years of losing the SEC Championship ahead of him with Saban being at Alabama. He quit after Alabama beat Florida 32-13 in the SEC Championship.

I like the fit. I think he would carry more respect among the players than Garret and be more motivated to play for him.

How's it feel on that island of unpopular opinions?

 

[erod]

What does he do other than illegally recruit criminals?

Doesn't work with the draft and legally paid players.

 

[atlantacowboy]

He motivates those "criminals" to play their best football. Shouldn't be much different with the choir boys in the NFL.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

But would Jones give him control like JJ or the tuna had? Or would he try to seize things like with red and the other puppets.

No, I get it. I understand why people have questions about him. I do. They are legitimate questions.

If he was hired in Dallas, I’d have concerns about how long he would actually stay.

I just try to stay away from that conversation (clearly not always successfully).

 

[zrinkill]

Yup

 

[eromeopolk]

Like watching Sean P in NO. The guy oozes cockiness. You know he wants to run it up every week. I think Meyer is the same. He would instantly show these soft underachievers who the boss is. I think if you paired him with a good, NFL experienced DC you would have something. I know the chances are long but I am starting to hope for Meyer.

I just want a coach with swagger here. A guy that knows he is good and acts like it. Not the school girl running around looking for high fives after a 3 and out.

You answer is a 2:53 of this video...Never gonna get it..

I don’t pay enough attention to the consensus to be too concerned.

some years ago everyone was calling for Bob Stoops

I think about every coach at a major program is slimy, that’s how they continually get five star recruits year in and year out and the ncaa turns its eyes away and the CFB caste system remains.

That said, be funny if we hired Urban and the Skins go get Jim Harbaugh, which is totally a Snyder move.

Who's the last big college coach to succeed in the NFL? Don't they pretty routinely get the crap kicked out of them? Unless they go from like, college to offensive quality control and get promoted upwards over 5-6 years

"Swagger" is obfuscation. It's only okay for players if they're basically like the guy who beat the holy hell out of the Irish MMA guy, and who taps world class wrestlers daily, at like 150 pounds. Guys like Ray Lewis, Richard Sherman in his prime. I can't remember the last good NFL coach that had "swagger".

If anything, quality coaches are like nerds, nerds you fear you didn't hear correctly in practice. Nerds that are always looking for an advantage to win, because they only talk about one subject, and you wouldn't sense it but take their knowledge over others at the top level as personal pride and the only validation they want for the work they've put in. Top coaches are like chess grandmasters. Grandmasters that'll bench your *** or trade you because they've put in too much time to deal with you if you can't handle their everyday work.

I don't really know about Meyer. But, I imagine him going against top NFL coaches and getting lit up pretty good. Hard to tell with college coaches, players are usually pretty stupid and talent disparities aren't obvious at first.

Holding onto Jason for so long kinda put us in a bind. A lot of the top up and coming NFL coaches are pretty secure. If I was looking, I'm not sure who I'd pick, but I'd be filling out my staff with guys that had positions under Reid, Shanahan, McVay, Belichek. Get a consortium of smart football guys in the pipeline, bring them together, and let them mature.

The problem is Jerry will only allow one person in this organization to have swagger.
