We do not need this. Meyer arriving and insisting Fields is the #1 guy..... leaving Trevor to the Jets after all.... 

 

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? 

i dont want the jets getting fields or Lawrence. I may prefer them having Lawrence.  I don’t know.

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.  

Marrone.

[Scott7975]

What would be funny is if the Jets canned Gase and hired Marrone.  Marrone gets his dream job and we get to stomp him twice a year.

[TBBills]

Urban Meyer? The guy who retired twice? Yea I doubt it, but if he does he will surely fail.

Interesting looking to go hard in the Ohio St. direction Justin Fields looked pretty damn good last night. Could the Jags make it a clean sweep?

 

If you are insinuating Fields goes first instead of Lawrence. LOL

I can't see Urban Meyer working in the NFL.  I'm a Buckeyes fan and I didn't like him.

I'm a Michigan fan and I loathe him.

some college coaches do fine in the NFL.   the guys who dont,  are the control freaks,  who try to treat the NFL players like college kids.    that doesnt fly in the pros.  that was Sabans problem in Miami,  and that would be Myers problem as well.  add to the fact the college coaches from big time programs  control everything,   in the pros they have to work with GMs,  owners,  and some players who actually have more power than they do.   Parcells,  one of the all time greats,  had trouble in certain spots when he couldnt control everything that he wanted to and he spent most of his time in the pros,  he knew the game.

He won’t take this job, Urban is known to duck out of dodge when the going gets tough. Nick Saban 2.0 in the NFL

I think once Saban realized you couldn’t coach adults the way he coached kids back in LSU that he didn’t want any part of the NFL and used the Dolphins taking Culpepper over Brees as an excuse to get out.

He wasn't even that good in college.

MJS,

 

You know I love you’re posts, but Meyer was 187-32 in His college coaching career.  He was phenomenal at UF, and is so beloved down here.  Jax is almost a reverse suburb for G-Ville.  Max became regionalized years ago and why they have the “Greatest Cocktail Party” game with UF and Georgia there each year.  Hell, the RV’s show up on Monday in their stadium parking lot, people take an entire week off, are drunk by 10 am for a week getting ready for that game.

 

Florida is a college football state.  The NFL is an after thought.  Meyer is a good coach from someone who watched him for a decade, and I don’t know if that transfers to the pros.  Most times it doesn’t.  Given there should be fans next year, that city will go nuts with Meyer as coach and Lawrence as thei QB.  Everyone down here has probably seen every Clemson game as it’s not that far from Jax.

 

Marrone was a terrible coach and have no sympathy for the guy.  He needs to go back and be a line coach as that is what is suited for doing in the NFL.

And I see that point as well. Personally, I’d rather have McD because I think he provides a more stable future. But, who know where the Jags will even be in a few years. Meyer just might help prolong their 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!!!   😱

Yeah but it was his health and family. Not his questionable recruiting and tolerance of bad behavior from players and coaches 😂 

[gobillsinytown]

I think coaching searches are like first round draft picks..........a lot of it is a crap shoot.

 

 

[wvbillsfan]

You want to sign meyer with all of his health problems and draft Lawrence? Be my guest 

 

I don’t care how well he does- he isn’t the long term answer. He’s there to sell tickets. Sell all the tickets you want while it lasts. Someone upstream said it already, he won’t last more than 3 years

I was referring to Marrone.

Meh, Saban is probably the greatest college coach ever and he couldn’t figure it out in the pro’s. Spurrier is another one. I don’t see Meyer being a great NFL HC. 

 

NFL success involves too many variables to make sweeping judgments on just about anyone, especially coaches, with only 32 games to evaluate (15-17). 

 

I generally agree that CEO-type college taskmasters (is that an oxymoron?) don't necessarily translate well to the pros, but 2 years with one middling franchise fielding meh at the QB position isn't a definitive data set.

I am. I can't stand him or Saban and maybe Meyer has a similar lack of NFL success as Nick but they are both excellent football coaches.
