It doesn’t matter at what level Urban Meyer is coaching. He’s going to break the rules, apparently. Meyer is in his first year as an NFL coach with Jacksonville Jaguars after a lengthy career in college football.
And if there’s one thing that seemed to define his legacy, it’s controversy. In fact, the Jaguars seemed to be in violation of the NFL’s Rooney Rule, designed to promote interviews among people of color and women for head coaching jobs, when they circled Meyer as their next head coach. One could argue, very simply, that he is a joke.
This incident might be another feather in that cap of folks who argue that. Not only did Meyer get fined for violating NFL rules during organized team activities, but he also received double the fine when compared to the other teams that committed a violation, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The Jaguars haven’t even gotten to training camp, and Meyer is breaking rules.
Details of what rule or rules Meyer and the Jaguars violated have not yet been reported.
49ers were fined $100,000 and Kyle Shanahan $50,000.
Jaguars were fined $200,000 and Urban Meyer $100,000.
Cowboys were fined $100,000 and Mike McCarthy $50,000.

NFL fans couldn’t help themselves. They had to roast the coach.
