Um UGH, NO PAYTON - X 1000.
This is a good point about Payton when talking about Bountygate. Either he openly endorsed it, or was too oblivious to realize it was happening right under his nose. I dont know which is worse.
Gruden is certainly in that discussion, but his reputation has taken a pretty big hit. He's overrated, but Payton is worse. Nobody is going to give a blank check to Gruden right now, while it feels like Payton seems to have his pick of jobs, on account of having one championship in 15 years with a stacked roster and a HOF QB. Look at his record in the wild card and divisional rounds: it's pathetic. I dont think most people have a particularly high opinion on Gruden anymore, and not just because he was proven to be an awful person.
Isn't there a way to express sarcasm in this forum? This has to be the most laughable post I've seen in some time.
Been there many times, have lived in Western WA for the past 45 years.....
Urban has turned every program he has gotten time with into a winner. He set Jacksonville on the right course, with them being the odds-on favorite to win the division in what would have been his second year, despite the fact that he inherited the league's worst roster. He got unfairly canned because his wuss owner succumbed to public pressure because he was mean to a bad kicker - who isn't even on an NFL roster right now - and did something harmless to an attractive woman in a bar that any of us would have done if given the chance and she probably asked for it anyway. Give him this roster, and we're in the Super Bowl by at least year 2.
So you're serious? ROFLMAO!
This is who I was going to suggest, and reading through the thread surprised to see someone else mention him. He did an excellent job at Boise State and I think he did pretty well at the U of W - whether or not he could make the transition to NFL head coach would obviously be the big question - and pulling him out of retirement. Get him, maybe he could convince Kellen Moore to come over and be an assistant HC (does that even exist?) and OC (BSU reunion)...ha ha.
Yeah , but he has a difficult time winning in Seattle
This is the NFL. Unfortunately, you lose the respect of your staff and men in a hot second when you act like Urban did. Have you heard the stuff his staff was saying about him?
His record speaks for itself, the Jags just let him go early out of peer pressure. Like, who the hell hasnt finger banged some random chick? I would have been fired several times by now if that mattered in the real world, and they were probably dogs compared to whoever Urban drew in. Anyway, he'd definitely have them over .500 now if they had kept him on. But oh no, he was mean to a kicker who is currently unemployed...
Darrell Bevell had more wins in Jacksonville than Meyer did as HC. The team was immediately better after Meyer left.
He was basically speedrunning "How to get your entire organization to hate you and run you out of town." It was a spectacular failure.
I think it makes a lot, lot more sense that this proves that he was severely underperforming with a roster that was capable of winning...
It was truly amazing how bad Urban Meyer was. Everyone there hated his guts. One thing I have to say is I gained a lot of respect for Trevor Lawrence through the whole ordeal. He conducted himself with a lot of class through the whole thing.
I finger bang everyone. I guess I have a problem with that. I've been fired from jobs , kicked out of restaurants.
