Just when you thought that Bobby Petrino was the worst NFL hire of a head coach… well, ever, along comes Urban Meyer to top Mr. Soooo-ey. The Jaguars finally and mercifully fired their first-year man after a 2-11 start to the season, and a litany of lies, out-of-touch statements, and outright abuse of players and coaches.
It was clear that Meyer was in over his head in a football sense — yet another high-profile college coach who does not pack the gear to serve at the next level. But as was true for so many of Meyer’s players at both Florida and Ohio State, it was the off-field stuff that really did him in.
In case you’re unsure as to why the Jaguars would make this move, leaving offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell as the interim head coach, here’s a not-so-brief list of all the things Urban Meyer did wrong in less than one full calendar year in the NFL.
You might want to bring a snack.
