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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 20 minutes ago, Ethan in Portland said: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigduke6 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) 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.

BuffaloBills1998 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 He won’t take this job, Urban is known to duck out of dodge when the going gets tough.

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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???

Richard Noggin Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 5 hours ago, atlbillsfan1975 said: 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.

For me it was fried bologna with a hunk of sliced cheddar cheese and hot sauce. Of course it would go on toasted bread. It's a given. Still, Marrone's revelation of sitting alone in his office after a game, eating a bologna sandwich, after any game -- along with an in-depth analysis of bologna itself brought me unparalleled joy.
