After watching the Jags under Shad, i'm starting to think his son Tony is the only one with business brains in that family.

Meyer was a bad hire to begin with but because of the "sexy brand power" he still gave him the moon and is now somehow shocked Urb is a sketchy piece of shit when the whole college world figured that out about 15 years ago.

If you're gonna hire from college, it can't be a guy with an ego/star power like a Nick Saban or Urban Meyer. Gotta go with a lesser name like the Panthers did with Matt Rhule. Someone who doesn't enjoy the smell of his own farts and doesn't believe he's god's gift to football

The circus here doesn't seem to be so much what he was doing as it is making excuses for it. It seems he wasn't up front about any of it, and his credibility within the locker room had already seemed to have waned.

So a coach gets a lap dance, can no longer coach. Mike Vick uses dogs for fighting, eh that's ok, we'll take an apology and you can get back in the league and make more millions. Joke.

Maybe you forgot but Vick did like 2 years in prison

Meyer is the head coach, the face of the organization, he is held to a higher standard, or at least should be

When people think of the Patriots when they had Tom Brady, when you would be asked "who is the face of the franchise?", people would say Tom Brady and not Bill Bilicheck.

Prison or not, for a league that supposedly holds itself to high standards, he should have never been in football pads again.

And now that they don't have Brady, or anyone else of real note, Belichick is who is likely most thought of

If you want to pull semantics then instead of Face of the franchise how about CEO? He is the supposed "Leader of Men" he is Upper Management, when they embarrass themselves they embarrass the team and are held to a higher standard


Vick did his time, lost tens of millions of dollars between salary and endorsements, and showed remorse and that he changed, he earned his 2nd chance

even guys like spurrier, saban, and petrino had prior NFL experience (playing or coaching) before taking their first NFL HC gigs.

meyer had never worked in the NFL prior to this year. you can't bring in a lifelong college coach (and a huge name like meyer to boot) and expect them to be successful because they just don't know how the league operates and how the players' mindset is completely different from that of a college player. meyer is running the jags like he would OSU or Florida and this is the end result

I think the contract talk is really the hold up. If the Jags fire him now, they may have to pay out his entire contract. This being early into season one of his contract would make this an expensive firing.

An absolutely atrocious hire, even at the time. It has since gotten much worse. I feel no pity for the Jaguars front office...you can't complain about waking up with fleas when you lay down with the dogs.

If he's going back to college, they're trying to get that buyout. Either that or he can go work in AEW as a heel manager

To be fair, I don't think Jimmy Johnson or Barry Switzer had any experience in NFL when they were named HC.
