mountainpd Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Jags is a perfect coaching landing spot, some great young players already in place and premium draft picks. Probably the best vacancy ahead of the chargers. No brainier for me for him to accept. I hope they don’t overthink it and play about though. have a horrible feeling could see Fields backing up Haskins in Jacksonville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeTheBallDeep Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I guess I don't get the amount of worry about the Jags hiring him. I do get he doesn't have NFL experience and there is something to that, but he's a culture changer and we have seen proof of that at Bowling Green, Utah, Florida, and Ohio State. The Jags are one of the least interesting franchises in the NFL and adding Trevor Lawrence and Urban Meyer would change that instantly. IMO this would be worst case scenario Year One 6-10 Year Two 8-8 Year Three 9-7 And he walks away after not having the type of success he expected, but I think he reaches the playoffs by year two. I could easily be wrong but I think his approach would work at first, long term I'm not sure if the players would keep buying in, especially the vets. Either way it should be very entertaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive work by them. Feel free to repost this if it turns out you are right, but I have a strong feeling that your post will not age very well, at all.

I love this whole story we're about to take part in. We'll see how it turns out, but you're damn right I'm fully on board with this whole thing. Could've got some hyped up coordinator who's never headed a program/locker room? So much more of a sure thing, indeed. It's not like that ever burns you.

To be fair to Urbz, I do think it's likely fewer people get murdered this time than his last Florida coaching stint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way it should be very entertaining If TL comes in blazing I can see them making the 3rd wild card spot this coming season. They have talent with a decent off-season wouldn't surprise me to see them win quickly. Edited January 14, 2021 by 49erurtaza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 A lot of people are looking at this hiring as a negative because he could only coach for 3-5 years. While that would be disappointing if he is successful, this is how I view that aspect of it: If you had a chance to date a supermodel, but you knew going in that it would probably be a short-term relationship, would you turn her down? I wouldn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Buck Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 1 hour ago, GW21 said: Yeah I agree. The Jags would really have to mismanage this draft and free agency horribly to not be a playoff team within the next year or two. Multiple high draft picks (one of which is a QB is about as close to a can't miss guy as possible) and loads of money. I think he will be successful, but for how long is what I question. The reports that turned me off regarding Meyer were around him 'trying to decide what he wanted to do'; that doesn't sound like a guy that is all in to me. Maybe I read into that a bit too much, but I think any coach, if offered this opportunity, would be crazy not to go all in on it. Now that he is hired, my guess is that he may have been using that as a bargaining position to get some of the concessions he did from ownership for such things as pay for his assistants, upgrading the facilities, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I will be. I will eat crow if I am. He won't have the massive talent advantage he had in college, he hasn't shown he ability to develop a QB who could play at the NFL level, he isn't exactly going to a functional franchise, and he has left high-pressure jobs for health reasons before. We will see if he can overcome those issues. I doubt it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
