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.
