People are buying this trash?!?!!? Feels like a total fairy tale, but people hate him and want it to be real. weirdos.

Multiple sources saying the same thing tends to have that effect.

And truthfully, the people that really hate him are the ones that have had to work with, or for him.

My normie cousin even knows Aaron Darnold. Him treating players like he did in college, i can buy that. Feels like its a 90% made up and 10% real. Hes fully in the bulls eye of many. 

I heard something that wasnt in this hit piece, he went around and called many of hand-picked staff "losers" and went on a rant about all his glory days in college and " Im not a loser, YOU ARE THE LOSER ".

It’s not just a Jacksonville thing… he enabled Zach Smith at Ohio State and enabled his drug using players at Florida by putting them in walking boots so they didn’t have to test.

He’s a shitty person.

Was a student assistant my senior year under Urban at Ohio State in undergrad and also took his coaching class. There’s a zero percent chance he didn’t know who Aaron Donald was.

Much more believable is how hard (borderline insane) he was on his players and staff. Urban was always terrible to work for but the payoff in college was that you’d likely get a HC job. He believed 100% that people performed their best when they were uncomfortable and constantly grated on people to motivate them. That this didn’t work with grown men professionals doesn’t surprise me. He wasn’t dealing with a bunch of 18-21 year old amateurs anymore. 

While I was simply a glorified secretary and coffee fetcher, I avoided Urban like the plague as much as I could. Fortunately, I was attached to the offensive room with Tom Herman (and Zach Smith), and we didn’t get as much heat as the defensive room did with how historically bad the defense was that year, so it wasn’t as difficult.

There’s nothing political about it. They are both lying shithead narcissists, these are facts easily proven for both. Don’t worry, it’s a free country and you can vote for a narcissistic shithead liar if you like. And even put a big flag with his name on it in the back of your truck, narcissists love that. But think of how you’ll react if someone had a MEYER flag in their truck, and you’d get an idea of how a rational person looks at stuff like that.

    • No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.
    • We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks. 
    • I dont buy the idea that it would create more competitive games Given this: Seed Current Format Record Proposed Open Seeding Record 1 Lions 15–2 Lions 15–2 2 Eagles 14–3 Eagles 14–3 3 Buccaneers 10–7 Vikings 14–3 4 Rams 10–7 Commanders 12–5 5 Vikings 14–3 Rams 10–7 6 Commanders 12–5 Buccaneers 10–7 7 Packers 11–6 Packers 11–6 That would mean Wild Card round would have been Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Vikings(14/3) v Bucs(10/7) Commanders(12/5) v Rams(10/7) Instead of Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Bucs(10/7) v Commanders(12/5) Rams(10/7) v Vikings(14/3) Then with the reseed it would mean that highest remaining seed would always draw the lowest remaining team.
