GunnerBill Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 We do not need this. Meyer arriving and insisting Fields is the #1 guy..... leaving Trevor to the Jets after all.... 55 minutes ago, Augie said: I’m wondering how excited Jags fans are to have a guy who’s over/under on duration in the job is probably 3 seasons tops. I’d like more of a future rather than a big splashy name. But maybe that’s just me? 🤷♂️ I see that point. On the flipside Urban Meyer is one of the best 15 football coaches on the planet. When was the last time the Jags could say they had that? Coughlin?

But, who know where the Jags will even be in a few years. Meyer just might help prolong there existence in Jax. In my mind, that’s a good thing. I hate to see fans get their team ripped from them (even if there are so few). I think even Meyer would have to see Trevor as the better option, right??? Do NOT let the Jests fall into Trevor!!! 😱 1

The people who I know that have worked with him all day he likes the rhythm of the college games and seasons. Well connected. Or long winded?
Bob Chandler's Hands Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 As a Bills fan I would be glad to see Meyer get this job as it would mean Daboll did not get it. I figured with his resume with Allen these past three years he'd be a natural to lead the team with Lawrence coming in. 1

As of right now, Urban Meyer is someone who has exactly the amount of NFL coaching experience (at any level/position) as you or I do. 1 1

I don’t see Meyer being a great NFL HC. 2
frostbitmic Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 They might want to try poaching Dabo Swinney from Clemson and draft Lawrence. 1
Kmart128 Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 What a terrible hire Meyer would be... dude has never coached at this level. This is not college football. 2

I’m sure that will translate to great NFL success. Yeah, it is less likely that college coaches make it in the NFL. Good for the Jags it will resign them them to the suck for another three years. 1

And yet I'd still take him over Marrone, Bradley, Malarkey and Del Rio.
Freddie's Dead Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 College coaches can't recruit and wield power over those recruits in the NFL. That's why they rarely make good NFL coaches. Motivating kids scared to lose their scholarships and grown men professionals are two vastly different skill sets.

Spurrier is another one. I don’t see Meyer being a great NFL HC. Maybe he won't be. But which great NFL Head Coach is going to Jacksonville? Meyer has a better chance of NFL success than Saban IMO if he comes because I think he is an exceptional talent evaluator. But regardless he is a guy who gives instant credibility to a franchise that has been cycling through bottom of the barrel Head Coaches for nearly two decades.

Do NOT let the Jests fall into Trevor!!! 😱 Rumors are Meyer didn’t become interested in Jax until they locked down the #1 Pick and were assured Trevor Lawrence. One game, and his OSU affiliation, isn’t going to change that.

Yes, I’m also confused how Meyer keeps having his people mention “health problems” when it’s time to leave a program, but his name pops up for every job opening. 1
Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 2 hours ago, MJS said: He wasn't even that good in college. Meyer? He won three national championships with two different schools. He has a .854 win % and is 12-3 in Bowl games. What do you consider good? I'm not claiming he will do well in NFL. In fact I don't think he will and I would no hire him. He is an amazing recruiter fist and foremost.

I'd love to have the Bills beat him down twice a year. Well, I honestly believe he would be an upgrade over ol' Taco Eyes.
