LostInDaJungle Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 24 minutes ago, UncleEarl said: You think that just started in the NFL? Celebrity college coaches are basically gods and can do damn near anything they want. Meyer's behavior makes me think of a great Abraham Lincoln quote: "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." As a Florida Fan, backer, and Alum... There was always a feeling of "Urban Meyer is a d*ck, but he's our d*ck." If Urban had won 11 games with the Jags, he'd still have a job. He could show up to a press conference drunk with two naked college girls and NFL network would find a way to spin that into a positive. "You know, he keeps him team loose... Umm, that's why they're winning all of these games." If you really want to test a man's character, see if his morals are willing to get in the way of what he wants.

sparky151 Posted December 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 I doubt Meyer takes a college job this offseason. He'll probably be back on Fox for college football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ@w Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 On 12/14/2021 at 6:54 AM, High School Harry said: Two long-time National Football League stars and former Cincinnati Bengals teammates - Los Angeles Rams offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth and Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green - reached career milestones during the Rams' win against the Cardinals on Monday Night Football. Whitworth and Green played together in Cincinnati from 2011 to 2016. Whitworth is in his fifth season with the Rams, and Green is in his first with Arizona. Whitworth became the first left tackle in NFL history to start a game at age 40, per ESPN's Lindsey Thiry. The second-round pick of the Bengals in the 2006 NFL Draft played in 168 games over 11 seasons in Cincinnati. And Green became one of just five active NFL players - along with Cardinals teammate DeAndre Hopkins, the Titans' Julio Jones, the Buccaneers' Antonio Brown and the Raiders' DeSean Jackson - and 50th in league history to reach 10,000 career receiving yards. How I had wished Mike Brown had re-signed Whitworth. The guy is a Brick Wall! Burrow's sacks would've been way less of course with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Carroll was a slimy weasel at SC...all that went away in Seattle. At least media perception-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as my mom used to say, If frogs had wings their asses wouldn't hit the ground. That milk is spilt. He's now "Andrew Whitworth, Super Bowl winner, oh, yeah, and he also used to play for the Bengals". I'd be willing to bet he's looked over at his wife and said "You know what, thank GOD Mike Brown didn't offer me enough money to stay!" I can think of one former job I feel that way about.

Urban Meyer is a grifter first and foremost. He’ll absolutely go back to college for one more big pay day. Might not be right away, but once the right opportunity presents itself, (which, it will at some point) he’ll pounce on it. Grifters gonna grift.

I think he’ll sit back and see if a plum college job comes along, but if I were a college athletic director, I would shy away from him. Of course, someone will hire him because “he’s a winner”. Never mind he’s a despicable human being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably will be offered a lot of money by some school dying to be relevant in college football. They will pay Meyer and he will go through the motions for a couple years before he gets fired. Kind of like Tuberville at UC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tigre Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 He won’t be seen in 2022…anywhere. The toxicity produced in the optics will keep the pious Power 5, etc away like the plague But, a fellow who has the 3rd highest winning percentage in Division I history—and has done nothing but win at that level—will definitely be sought after in 2023. The news cycles will have long since passed, and title-lusting AD’s will pay the loot/sell their souls to have the chance. Remember, Columbus? If Petrino, Saban, Spurrier, and Carroll can get past the bad press, this guy will be a slam dunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tigre Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 They are 6-7. A distant "in the hunt", but another loss will basically do them in. Their "interim--but maybe they will like me if I win" HC has to do something to keep it going. But I am in agreement: David Carr is not their problem.

"We will make every effort, consistent with underlying health and safety principles, to play our full schedule within the current 18 weeks," Goodell said in the memo. "Each club is obligated to have its team ready to play at the scheduled time and place.

Kind of like Pitino at Iona. But the thing about Meyer - when the going gets tough, he gets going for greener pastures. There was a joke in Florida that if you took a piss in the stadium, Urban got 5% of it. Then he bailed for OSU with some bull sheep. Tim Tebow is gone and your incoming recruiting class sucks? You're "not healthy" and want to "spend more time with your family". Urban will wait for a cherry opportunity to pop up where he can succeed without working too hard and jump on it. He'll either get paid like royalty, or wait for a top 5 program to have an opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way in the world a dude like that could ever handle a lowly employee making more money than him. "Fuck Jacksonville, they're' clueless...where's the next big bank account I can suck dry?"
