He calls his staff stupid, is angry all the time and wants to fire people on his staff for leaking stories to the public. He is a arrogant, self-centered, lying ass who bullies anyone in his path! Just like Trump, Meyers is overrated in his job and is a failure to the job he is doing!
I know this should go under a sports, but I find it odd to see the comparison between these two so-called leaders.

(3,328 posts)so I had to look him up. He really doesn't seem long for the world of coaching for the NFL with such a dismal record.
"Some are theorizing that Meyer would probably prefer to be fired, so he could get the rest of the money on his big contract."
Yup, sounds kinda trumpian.

(24,893 posts)So he won't be able to go to Notre Dame, boo hoo.
One of the biggest things that I read was that he was screaming at his assistant coaches saying "how many national championships have you won you f****** losers". What an asshole.

(65,212 posts)ND promoted an assistant from within. Given this is ND country, this was heavily covered locally.
His promotion is very popular & well received by the fan base & boosters.
So, Urban no longer has that option.

(36,747 posts)His antics usually make it such that he needs to leave.

(23,158 posts)He was aiding Percy Harvin and that murderous TE (can't remember his name at the moment) while they were in college. He knew they were really bad news and hid it. Just like he hid the assistant in raping the players at Ohio State. He's a liar and cares only about himself. OK, so he does have trumpian traits, but he's awful on his own as well.
I knew Shad Khan hiring him as the Jaguars head was a huge mistake, and it's turned out worse than I ever could have dreamed in my worst nightmares. I really HATE Urbs, but at least he's only destroying an already severely broken team, not the entire country.

(23,158 posts)I just wonder if he could have been turned around if Meyers hadn't just taken off all the restaints?

(14,176 posts)anyone needs to know about him. Vrabel had been one of Meyers' assistant coaches and this asshole couldn't even manage a moment of grace after his humiliating defeat yesterday.

And I won't even bother mentioning that after Jacksonville lost to Cincinnati in October, Meyer chose not to take the team plane back with his players and coaches, opting instead to stay in Ohio where he went to a Columbus bar and was recorded with an attractive young woman who isn't his wife giving him what amounted to a lap dance. And a person with that kind of judgment is collecting $12 million a year.

(23,158 posts)He has certainly earned the firing, and more.

(5,586 posts)I believe Urban Meyer (Florida and Ohio State) and Nick Saban (LSU and Alabama) are the only coaches to have won championships at 2 different schools.
