Urban Meyer out as Jaguars head coach

Skipping the flight was a bad look, but not a career ender. Regarding the other allegations, I’m wondering if he’s that bad, or if people have just gotten that soft.

Think about some hard knock coaches of the recent past. I wouldn’t be shocked if some called their staff losers.

Even the kicker thing sounds overblown. Meyer’s story is he was trying to build rapport with the kicker. That’s not hard to believe. Tough guys befriend other guys usually by taking jabs at them. It seems like the kicker took offense to it, and Meyer maintained the tough guy persona rather than apologize after the misunderstanding.

I really don’t see the big deal. He seems like an old school guy on a crappy team. He tried to give them some tough love, and rather than strive to get better, they cried about it and encouraged his firing.

I bet Jimmy Johnson would’ve gotten similarly fired in today’s NFL. Players are coddled divas who can’t take any tough love.

Although there were a good number of Zoners wanting the Cowboys to hire him.
The bandwagon for him to come and coach Dallas was only eclipsed by the support to get Lincoln Riley.

Meyers is a very good coach that didn’t have a chance with the Jags. He was undermined from day one. Jimmy would have been a massive failure if he was hired under the same circumstances. Social media and leaks from inside the Jags organization ruined any chance of success that Meyer may have had.

Doesn't feel like it was that long ago. Hate to say it, but I think you're right. Damn times change fast these days.
