One person wrote: "Urban Meyer's career in the NFL was ruined by the lackluster play of Trevor Lawrence and Jags players who just did not care enough about football. He'll find success elsewhere like he did at OSU. He can and will be a good NFL head coach."

One fan wrote: "Now who are people going to blame Trevor's lack of success on? For everyone else they blame the player themselves but for whatever reason they blame the coach when it comes to Lawrence, he apparently does not wrong."

C’mon guys, it’s a tough time for Urban Meyer. He just lost his job.
Let’s not kick a man while he’s down!

Another fan wrote: "Let me know & when he gets up then because I'd wait in line for that. Although their kicker gets to go 1st!"
prevnextBehavior in College
The more stories that come out about how Urban Meyer conducted himself in the NFL, the more I wonder about his behavior in college behind closed doors. If he felt this free to treat grown men like this, imagine the shit he said/did to college players and coaches. https://t.co/ksrAhTNgR4

prevnextWild Comparison
Urban Meyer has presumably finished his NFL career with fewer wins (2) than FBS National Championships (3).

And this person wrote: "Over the past five years it's gone from "too bad it didn't work out" to glee and joy for coaches that get fired. Not a fan of UM but I don't like this trend. In Tampa I've seen dozens of HCs come and go at USF and the Bucs but never personally attacked them."
