I know Rhule is bad, but Meyer might be worse

Well he never was at any level. He was supposed to be a elite motivator and that really seems out the window now too. 

motivating college kids and motivating 30 year old millionaires with kids are very different things

Hearing about what it takes and what some coaches are willing to do in the NCAA to win a championship, it doesn’t surprise me one bit that most of these coaches are total scumbag, piece of poo, unethical human garbage.

I guess there is a certain amount of millions of dollars that clears you conscious from the fact that you exploit children that are trying to better themselves for a living.

Both the Rhule and Meyer experiments need to be over.

Interviewer:  "Coach Meyer, you exploit vulnerable teenagers who are desperate to get noticed by the NFL, all just to further your coaching resume and justify your ridiculously high salary.   How do you sleep at night?"

Coach Meyer:  "On top of a pile of money, with many beautiful ladies."

Indeed it it and it's why some of us were scratching our heads when he was hired. Given we do have one of the youngest teams in the NFL but still you have to have skill to go along with the motivation. Most games we are getting out coached and it shows.

Really starting to sound like Meyer won't make it to season's end...

Tension boiling over between Meyer, players, staff

Months of tension surrounding Jaguars coach Urban Meyer has boiled over with multiple run-ins with players and other coaches in recent weeks, sources say, renewing questions in league circles about whether Meyer's stay in Jacksonville could end after just one tumultuous season.

At this point, there are no signs that Jaguars owner Shad Khan is seriously considering a change. One of the NFL's most patient and supportive owners, Khan dreamed for years of Meyer -- a three-time college national champion at Florida and Ohio State -- coaching his team and overhauling the culture of a franchise accustomed to losing, before finally luring him out of retirement in January. (A spokesman for Khan declined comment for this story.)

But sources say Meyer's repeated public comments shifting blame to players and coaches amid the team's 2-10 season have exacerbated frustration in the building with his hard-charging and sometimes condescending approach -- a style that many observers believed wouldn't work in the NFL even before the Jaguars hired him.

...

In the past two weeks alone, sources say:

Receiver Marvin Jones -- one of the locker room's most respected and mild-mannered veterans -- became so angry with Meyer's public and private criticism of the receiver group that he left the facility until other staff members convinced him to come back and had a heated argument with Meyer during practice.

During a staff meeting, Meyer delivered a biting message that he's a winner and his assistant coaches are losers, according to several people informed of the contents of the meeting, challenging each coach individually to explain when they've ever won and forcing them to defend their résumés.

Contrary to his public statements that it was injury-related, Meyer ordered Robinson's benching after an opening-drive fumble in last week's 37-7 road loss to the Rams, then had running backs coach Bernie Parmalee stop Robinson from re-entering the game, insisting Carlos Hyde (who played for Meyer at Ohio State) stay in. Only after Lawrence questioned Meyer on the sideline about Robinson's absence was Robinson allowed to return late in the second quarter. (Speaking to reporters this week, Lawrence said: "Bottom line is James is one of our best players and he's got to be on the field and we addressed it, and I feel like we're in a good spot and the whole team, we're good.")

Several Jaguars players vented their frustration to Rams players after that game, sources say, reiterating a common complaint that Meyer -- who had no prior NFL experience -- doesn't treat them like adults. And the staff meeting follows a pattern of tense interactions between Meyer and his assistants dating back to the offseason. After opening the preseason with consecutive losses, for instance, sources say Meyer informed assistants that he was sick of being embarrassed and if the team didn't start winning immediately, some of them wouldn't be around for a second year.

Holy hell, this sounds like an absolute sh-t show

Yeah, at least Rhule isn’t THIS bad
