[Reverend Conehead]

Dodged a bullet.

What a colossal train wreck.

On a side note
That Perry dude had an amazing voice. Even live

I can tell you that during his time with Utah, players and everyone loved him and he didn’t act like a jerk. He was younger and proving himself.

However, once he started winning championships with Florida and making massive bucks, he started believing that he was the greatest coach in history and infallible.

 

[Fizziksman]

Yes. He must have gotten away with a lot there that led him to mistakenly think he could get away with it at the NFL level too.

grown man vs kids yep

it's actually amazing how there wasn't really any expectation for him to win the first year and he still manages to mess up and get fired.

 

[LACowboysFan1]

So he's available?

Yeah. It wasn’t even about the record. He was just a disaster.

 

[LACowboysFan1]

LOL at all the keyboard GMs who melted down at the Cowboys "missing out" on that clown.

Got that right!

 

[Risen Star]

Zeke loves this guy.

 

[Denim Chicken]

you would think he's un hirable now--not just in the NFL, but everywhere.

 

[LACowboysFan1]

College coaches are successful for two main reasons - one, they are great at recruiting. Two, they have 90+ players that just need to be put in the right spots.

Neither exists in the NFL. You have limited draft spots and if somebody's playing poorly you don't always have a backup who's just as good, or nearly as good.

And who's to say Meyer didn't have lots of top assistants who ran the team? Ed Orgeron at LSU is a prime example, a pretty good coach gets to greatness riding on the shoulders of a top assistant...

Yes. He must have gotten away with a lot there that led him to mistakenly think he could get away with it at the NFL level too.

Its a hard transition going from dealing with kids on a college campus to pro athletes.

"Meyer’s biggest issues came off the field, where he tried to handle a professional team like he was on a college campus.

He splashed slogans and catchphrases around the facility, instilled gimmicks in practice, and repeated his misguided belief that coaches coach for players and players play for coaches. He brought in motivational speakers and kept blaming assistants for the team's mounting losses instead of the grown men actually on the field."

So worst HC of all time? Has there been a bigger train wreck?

 

[MichiganCowboyFan]

Count me as one who wanted Dallas to hire him. Glad we dodged that bullet. At what point did Meyer think it was ok for a boss to kick an employee. He needs to go get some serious help…but I have no doubt that there is some college team desperate to win who will hire him.

I’m a Michigan fan and at least Jim Harbaugh has class…

Harbaugh's time management sucks but it rears its ugly head in college less than it did in his NFL career.

LOL. I would love to call out the members who wanted him for the Cowboys HC. But, it's the holidays!

MEANWHILE....Y

Yep. She got cancelled because of stuff she said on The View didn't align with the rest of NBC's views. Ugh. She will indeed be missed. And she wasn't even that old either. FYI, Pam Oliver is much older.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Let this be a lesson that, just because a coach is good in college doesn't mean he's going to be a great NFL HC.

 

[Whyjerry]

I admit I was wishing hard that Jerry would hire UM. Boy was I wrong. I think he has a screw loose. Petrino, Chip, and Saban failed as NFL coaches but Meyer set the new low bar. A disgrace. That guy should never get another head coaching job again given how he behaved.

He will though.

[Avery]

Any time I think about how bad things are, I picture myself as a Lions or Jags fan.

 

[MonsterD]

It amazes me that the guy couldn't stop being a ****** hat long enough to have a career in the NFL. He had several meetings with Khan and Baalke to remedy his idiotic behavior and still kept on steamrolling. Really the guy is the worst of the worst.
