Maybe this is more serious than laying low for a year.

I sentence Urbs to two years as an analyst in Tuscaloosa before he's considered redeemed.
He and Nick. Not friends. 

I do feel a little satisfaction in predicting this one. That man had the feel of someone who would have issues with adults.

I think his biggest issue may have been that he had no idea how to handle losing. He's never lost before. At BG he was 8-3 then 9-3. Next stop was Utah; 10-2 then 12-0. Florida & Ohio State - 3 MNC's and dominance. Dude lost 9 games in 7 years at OSU. He lost 11 in his first year in the NFL. Have heard a lot of people say before he was hired he doesn't deal well with losing. Welp, that's all he did in the NFL was lose. And it's not like that was all his fault. He was starting a rookie at QB and he took over the worst team in the league. You don't just get the #1 pick in the draft, you have to earn that by being truly terrible. So of course there was going to be a lot of losing for the first couple years before the winning started.

I mean, he has a screw loose and spends 9-3 seasons wanting to die, so that part was assured. 

Still, gotta work with actual grown ups. Man kicked a 30-year-old, then got whiny and offended when that 30-year-old snapped back.

Speaking of kicking, is there anything that would be worse than getting kicked in the nuts by an NFL punter?

I dunno those punters leave the the ground by a couple of feet so there's some drive.If some cupless DB screaming by missed the ball but caught the foot I'm guessing he'd rather be in the scrum

perhaps Meyer should be punted in the nuts?

Ditka and Buddy Ryan got on better than those two ever would.Which isn't much of a stretch

The Jags have a weird history.
After their initial success with Brunell, they've only had consecutive winning seasons once.  
Every successful season is from out of nowhere and then they fall off a cliff the very next season.

It's really bizarre.

would be really interested to see who Jags hire. Jags probably going to have the #1 pick this year again. They take Hutchinson they'll have the two most important positions on rookie deals- QB & Pass rusher. 

I wonder if McDaniels would jump at that opportunity? Belichik doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon. Jacksonville is an intriguing job. Lot of cap space. High picks in 2022 and young team.

I can’t tell if that guys just needs another chance or he’s in that “just better as a coordinator” mold in the NFL.

It’s also interesting how that’s works at that level vs college. Because a lot of the time someone is either “just better as a top program coordinator OR a mid-range program HC.” (EG, Rich Rod)
