Reportedly multiple run-ins with players and coaches. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy.

No idea what's going on with him now but I wouldn't be shocked if he's looking for a way out of the NFL and into one of the open college gigs. If Chip Kelly returns to Oregon, I see Urbs as a realistic possibility at UCLA.

This is fantastic! When does he pull the health issues card?

Maybe he's prepping for another job at ESPN until Ryan Day moves to the NFL. Then Meyer can return, triumphantly, to Columbus.

Can this be substantiated? In other words, is there a recording or video of him saying this to his assistants? During this iPhone era where every fart is recorded or videotaped I find it odd that someone didn’t set him up.

Several friends who are Florida Gator fans would love him back at Gainesville.

Urban has learned that the NFL coach doesn’t hold power unless you are in rarified air like Hoodie, Big Red, and a select few. As soon as the QB starts chirping, Urbs is toast.

especially when it's your rookie first draft choice QB- Lawarence appears to be taking the leadership role and you have to think Urbs is on his last leg now

The Jags owner is calling his bluff by saying he is sticking with him. He’s forcing Meyer’s hand if he really is looking for a way out.

I wonder if he is looking for a way out or it's just Urbs being Urbs and not realizing that you don't get away with this sh-it with grown men

It’s the Achilles heel for all these guys and even worse in hoops. They think the players can be controlled and dictated to. They give up the hassle of recruiting but what takes its place is the loss of leverage against the hired help. I remember one time listening to Bill Walton. Walton would not cut his hair in the summer and show up at practice. Wooden would tell him to get his hair cut. Walton would debate him telling Wooden that he had no right to mandate his hair being cut. Wooden in only the John Wooden way would calmly say “William, that’s right I don’t have the power to tell you that you have to get your hair cut, but I do have the power to say who plays and who doesn’t play.” Walton would get his hair cut.

I think Lawrence has probably had his fill already and just doesn’t want to be the rookie throwing the coach under the bus. But it’s coming.

Urbs is a weak man and an even weaker leader. He resorts to childish temper tantrums, finger-pointing and then bailing on his commitments when things get challenging for him. As @LionJim said, it Urbs being Urbs. Some actually wanted him here coaching for us? Thank goodness that never happened.

never saw him as an NFL coach
This is purely my opinion, but why in the world would any top coach want to coach in the NFL? There’s plenty of $ in the college ranks, and you don’t have to deal with as many prima donnas in the college game. I believe that college coaches have much more autonomy in running their programs too. Look at Joe Paterno, he understood the advantages of college coaching v. pro coaching.

Recruiting is a hard, hard job.

More down time in the off-season, no recruiting. It prob depends on what the coaches personal preferences are.
