Louis Riddick SOUNDS OFF on the Urban Meyer firing: 'He threw it all out the window!' | Get Up 

He did it to the struggling kicker like a coward. That man was worried about his job security and livelihood.

Facts ima man first before anything I'm sorry but I would've lost my job that day forget talking straight action

He targeted a struggling kicker trying to make the team. If he went up to anyone else, he'd have had his clock cleaned

Tell me what other jobs there are for kickers

There are repercussions. He bided his time and got Urban Meyer fired. Been holding that card close to his vest for months, watching Meyer hang himself over and over... then he pounced. Personally I feel the same as you, if someone strikes me they're gonna get something back *real* quick. But some people are just more patient and strike back differently. "Revenge is a dish best served cold."

Lol. The amount of disfunction this guy was able to produce in 4 months was impressive

It’s not even worth making a 30 for 30 lol

@@thomashenry794 13 for 13

@@lsuchiha1652 the damage he left as a college coach was crazy too.

Its too short for a 30for30

Whatever he did with those colleges teams it got them to play better than they actually were. 🤷 being a good person is not a prerequisite for these jobs.

Amen

@@marlymarlle So its ok to do this to college kids????? This why i had a problem with the college basketball coach who got in the players face for making a mistake a couple years ago.. The coach yelled the kid tho heated said ok coach and the coach comes back and gets nose to nose with the kid... If that kid had laid that coach out the kid would of been killed in the media... But let that had been an NBA player and a coach did that the coach would of been killed and talking heads would be wondering when that coach would be fired...SMH ppl should know rules and standards should be applied equally cuz when they are not thats exactly how you get Urban Meyer types thinking they can do whatever whenever

@@wessideATL1 I don't what he did and I didn't say it was ok. But w.e it was, it got Tim Tebow a Heisman and Dwayne Haskins drafted in the 1st rd. 🤷

Antonino Romulo Del Carmen, To your point. I bet there is a lot of abusive college coaches in football and basketball. Many sports have abusive coaches. And I think college students suck it up because of their vulnerable status as students. If Urban Meyer is doing this in his first year as a professional NFL coach think about what must have happen on the college level. If walls could talk.

They do and the Jags are using that verbiage to get out of the contract without paying all of it.

@@allenmobley8444 Thanks for the info. I was wondering how they were gonna find a way out of that guaranteed contract

If they don't in this case then the Jags' owner is even dumber than we thought.

They have vague clauses in them, but you actually don't get to decide that the other party's behavior qualifies as meeting the criteria. An arbitrator or a judge does, and the standard tends to be quite high, it's nothing so small as doing a bad job or making people angry at you. Unless they have video evidence of Meyer doing something physically abusive or criminal they run a very serious risk of being forced to pay out the full amount of the contract. And also, like with this kicking the kicker incident, you had better have an incredible excuse for any incident that happened well before you decided to fire them. If this happened in summer training camp and you're firing him in December, you basically invalidate your claim of having cause because you clearly didn't fire him for that reason.

Louis Riddick is the best commentator in sports.

@@kevinkline7242 I like j will and acho too Kellerman is good too

Yup Louis Riddick is great

Now think how the military feels. LetsGoBrandon

@@indiana_bones5583 Agreed, imagine a 5 time draft dodger as your leader. Orange is the new color for cowards.

@@indiana_bones5583 what? Really? Why here? Lmao oh my god

Both of them are not leader's and Shad wanted Trevor Lawrence over Fields and Mac Jones. Shad is a terrible owner because in 2017 they was 4 minutes from being in their first SB, but the Refs and league didn't want a small market team in the SB for ratings. The next season they broke the team up smh Trevor Lawrence is not the one he's overrated and watch today against the Texans how he stinks it up and maybe the interm coach sit him and put C.J in then you will see it's Trevor not being accurate and making right decisions. This will be more excuses for Trevor bad play all year.

Nah

Would be a good GM

thats what he is

Would have respected them more if they spoke up IN THE MOMENT…….don’t wait until the guy has left town! I can’t respect “Tuesday morning quarterbacks” Luis is NOTORIOUS for these rants AFTER the fact…

Can a coach fire his assistants?

He deserves a GM job I actually don’t know how he hasn’t gotten a GM job yet

@@estebanperez4171 I think he was interviewed a couple times in the last 1-2 years. He'll be in that position soon I think.

1-15 first year without Troy, Emmitt, and Irvin

@@johnlanier3616 They did have Aikman and Irvin that season

@@scottharm3932 oops. Your right they did.

Jim Harbaugh

while i will say you cant just jump from college to pro coach, i think the issue is more college coaches think its the same as college. even a senior in college is still a kid, the NFL is grown men some in their 40s......dont bring that campus level attitude to the NFL, because its a job now not school

Jimmy Johnson did OK.

@@Bidwellz9 The issue is, mostly, the talent level in the NFL is much more level. Top college coaches win by recruiting, Nick Saban himself has said that. They don't usually have to be geniuses at Xs and Os. The top notch teams probably win 80% of their games by simply showing up. In the NFL, you can't win just by showing up.

@@joebarr725 I already said that he did. He was an exception to the rule

Yupp. Didn’t Leach get fired for some messed up punishment he put a athlete thru?

Exactly, which i why i dont like a grown man let another grown man do that line... If he shouldnt be doing it to a grown man then why should it be acceptable to do to a young man?

@@wessideATL1 yeah. You right. It ain’t right to treat anyone like that professional athlete or not.

Poetic, I love it. You nailed it dude.

it is worth a shot - or you could declare bankruptcy 6 times and declare yourself a business genius - and run for president - apparently there are plenty of people who even get behind that

Mitch had plenty of years to prove he was worthy of the number 2 pic. He sucked! That's all. And he didn't average those points, the team did! Smh... 😂

@@mikefrancis6546 As bad as Trubisky was for the Bears...Nagy was hot garbage. That defense was what got him Coach of the Year in 2018. He should have been fired last year

@@mikefrancis6546 Im a Bears fan and although I dont think Trubisky was amazing ppl blow his tenure with us out of proportion. 64 TDs 37 INTs with a career 51.6 QBR isnt great, but its average play. He’s not a scrub like most try to believe, he just was a reach of a pick from the get go and proved that. He can still in my opinion be a starter in this league (temporary placeholder tho). Now Nagy on the other hand, a former offensive coordinator, has the worst PPG in the past 4 years of any franchise if I remember correctly. Plus, asside from that 2018 season with Fangio, our defense has underperformed in most instances considering how much talent we’ve had in previous years. Moral of the story, Mitch is a better QB than Nagy is a coaxh

You missed the key word in his statement “MOST players…”

Bruh trubisky's contract was up

Being an idiot wasn't his problem. His true problem was thinking he was smarter and better than everyone else.

Homecoming.

And then replace him with David Garrard

@@devono-636 lmao

Ah no Byron deserves better then that

LOL!

Florida still picking up pieces of that mess lol

I want him in espn so that I can have something to watch

@@mkhanman12345 He's one of the better announcers/commentators, for sure.

I want him in Jacksonville. I’m not a Baalke fan and never wanted Urban to begin with. I wanted Bienemy.

@@joshuawaiters8429 After this year Bienemy will have whatever team he wants choice wise.

@@mellykruger9495 not too fast, Chiefs haven’t looked good this year outside of three games. EB might be available

Yeah it was a remarkably dumb choice to begin with. And that's on the owner. I will give him some credit for saying "OK enough's enough, this guy ain't it, I'm gonna just cut him loose." My guess is Kahn's lawyers have been just waiting for the chance to give him the go-ahead to fire Meyer, and all the stuff that came out the last week was finally enough where they figured they could fire him without having to pay him too much to go away.

Not sure why this isn't getting more likes. Lol

Exactly what I was thinking. Obviously there is a huge difference in how head coaches act at the college and the NFL level, but I don’t think colleges would tolerate all the things Urban did. Curious to see if a college even takes a chance on him. I wouldn’t.

Not with today's fragile college players.

@@johnabbott257IKR - the coaches I had in HS would be considered abusive and creating a toxic environment when in reality they were just hard men that served in the military and didn't suffer fools lightly. They cared about the players but were not going to pamper a bunch of entitled, narcissistic athletes like we have now.

I wish they wouldn’t have fired, I wanted him to quit lol

@@aaronrowell2859 if Meyer had just quit he'd have screwed himself out of a LOT of money for sure. It would have been fun to hear his excuses, though, I get that. I think Kahn has been having his lawyers study that contract for weeks now, and he realized that Urban finally screwed up so bad so many times that they could fire him without losing a ton of money.

@@dogslobbergardens6606 Yea I think you’re right, I just woulda loved the excuses lol and he doesn’t deserve the money at all

@@aaronrowell2859 I hear you. It's all really funny to me because I don't care at all about the Jags or even their division.

@@dogslobbergardens6606 it’s been the most uninteresting division for a long time lol, I hope lawrence succeeds though

Is he trying to be one?

If you have to ask, that means your head in the sand.

Shad Khan had a chance to hire Louis Riddick as GM last year but you know because he black he didn't hire him enough said

@@rodsmith4138 Shahid Khan is Pakistani for goodness sakes. Yall try so hard.

For about 15 or so years there have been 5 teams that have made the playoffs that weren’t in the playoffs the year before. The NFL is the easiest of the four major North American leagues to have a quick turnaround so it’s not that hard because that salary cap also means there’s a lot of talent on the market every year.

the irony that he was rumored to be the jags GM with Urban XD

If Arians retires. And then you can have him, he won't be much better about utilizing Robinson likely

Sneakyyyy Pete!!!! Na he's going back to college lol idk

Nope.

And people say "white" privilege doesn't exist. If Urban Meyer was black... Boy.

@@ecchen1 If he was black, they'd have covered it all up, made excuses, and blamed everyone else.

@@johnabbott257 wouldn't be hired

You told us?

@@juggsandmagsss9397 lol 😂 I was speaking metaphorically

Pros is different from college. He can flat out coach college. Not in the pros. Same goes for some players. Good in college but cannot cut it in the pros.

Gotta show him the money, because he is currently working with TB12 in the middle of a Championship run.

In college, coaches are the face of the organization. They get the credit for the teams success, they can tell kids whatever they want and not be held accountable, and they’re dealing with kids. In the pros you cannot do that cuz you’re dealing with grown men. Urban Meyer saw himself above his players and assistant coaches which in the NFL you got to see everyone as equals.

Yeah a lot of college guys don’t go to NFL and they’re smart for doing it. Two different games

got some bad advice? no he just acted like a bad person over and over...

@@kaelanbradford3664 ok?? that's like 2/20 former college coaches that were actually good. not great numbers...

@@kaelanbradford3664 one of the best coaches in history? lmao you sound like the clown here

The kid's literally got nothing to work with, coaches or players.

Curious to see his reaction. Must be a University of Florida thing. First Steve Spurrier in Tampa Bay, now Urban Meyer in Jacksonville. They just are not NFL material.

Big White and yet Saban is one of the winningest coaches in college football history.

What an ignorant comment.
