He was begging to be fired. He didn't want to quit and lose out on contract money.

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

I am really shocked that this partnership didn't work out

 

[Weenus O'Baggins]

He was begging to be fired. He didn't want to quit and lose out on contract money.

Or...

He was grossly incompetent from the start

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Think they'll stay internal with one of his "loser" assistants?

And right after all these primo college openings just got gobbled up....

Poor poor Urban. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

Or...

Both can be true.

Urban Meyer fired as Jacksonville Jaguars' head coach amid rocky first year​

Meyer fired 13 games into turbulent Jags stint

The Jacksonville Jaguars have fired head coach Urban Meyer, bringing an end to a one-year tenure filled with missteps on and off the field.

While reading this article I couldn't help but wonder how the guy lasted so long. What a creep/jerk/idiot.

Look forward to reading an article soon about his wife taking half of everything in a divorce settlement.

 

[Harry]

His family including wife has been complicit.

 

[az jam]

He was a disaster in Jacksonville. Hard to believe that such a successful college coach could do so many stupid things that took place this year.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Knew it would happen. Been saying for a long time that he would be a terrible hire for an NFL team.

Actually doesn’t look that bad. Compare it to other first time head coaches.

 

[Dback Jon]

Also he leaves out:

Jimmy Johnson
Barry switzer
Pete Carroll

Yea 4 on that list have winning records. One wen to a SB. And Kliff is trending up.

 

[Russ Smith]

Sounds like Lambo's claim that Meyer kicked him and taunted him about it appears to have been the "kicker" that got him fired.

I would hope there is a clause in his agreement for that type of exit. Dude shouldn't get paid out.

All contracts should have some behavioral clauses to protect the team/owner. Ridiculous to make a bad hire, can the guy, and still have to pay them.

Right? I thought that tweet was really stupid.

 

[Mainstreet]

If Urban Meyer receives a reported $9 million for less than one season not bad pay.

It's bad. Rhule & Kliff are still TBD. The only one on that list that had any success really was Harbaugh. Chip Kelly and O'Brien had a winning record but anybody who says their tenure wasn't a train wreck is kidding themselves. The biggest jokes were the biggest name college coaches of all time (Saban, Meyer, Spurrier, Petrino, etc...).

 

[Crimson Warrior]

He's so gross.

 

[Arz101]

There will be lawyers.
