I'm glad Michael Smith finally said what I've been thinking: how is Urban Meyer's behavior acceptable at any level? People keep saying he needs to stick to college, but honestly, if that's how he treats people, he needs to stick to unemployment.

You said the magic word there at the end, Michael Smith: Leadership. The thing you need to understand, though, is that you don’t have to be a good leader when you exercise significant control over somebody’s life. Urban Meyer, legendary college football coach, never had to develop real leadership skills. And he was never self-aware enough to understand the difference between being feared and being respected, which is why his method of conducting interpersonal relationships didn’t transfer to the NFL.

@lastpme 2 года назад

College football is totally different than the pros. Meyers was spoiled at UF and OSU when he was able to recruit the best players in the Nation. Having the best players doesn’t make coaching hard since the system is rigged. The smaller programs do not recruit the same level of athletes and normally get killed when they play the blue blood programs. In the NFL every team has great athletes so at the NFL coaches have to do a better job of coaching their players. Plus in the NFL coaches are coaching men, not college athletes.

@duke927 2 года назад

And the players in college don’t have contracts so his will is law and he could be the little tin pot dictator that his ego demands. I didn’t follow his career but it seems when he was faced with the different reality of the NFL his pouty, sulking, passive aggressive brattiness became manifest. More in line with a three year old than a mature adult.

@pronkb000 2 года назад

At one time, at least, Meyer was a genuinely great (college) coach and not just for recruiting. He made Bowling Green into a top-25 team and built Utah up from an absolute nothing-happening program to a BCS buster and eventually in position to become a power-5 team that could well win the Rose Bowl in a few days as I'm typing this. Possibly the scheme advantage he once had has passed him by.

@LdyVder 2 года назад

I wish people would remember. Meyer never truly build a program. It takes longer than the two year he stayed at Bowling Green and Utah. It's not like Florida or Ohio State were bottom feeders programs. Easy to recruit to get top talent for Florida or OSU when those schools were top 10 programs before he got there. Which QB has he developed outside of super intelligent Alex Smith at Utah, who was ready to play in the NFL or showed they could play in the NFL? Tebow? The guy who set the SEC career rushing TDs? Justin Smith showed up at OSU after Meyer left. But he was expected to develop the Jags generational QB, Lawrence.

Yes, it was harder than he thought it would be--and he checked out a couple weeks ago. So he's also a quitter. He's so arrogant that he thought he was also better than 90% of NFL coaches too. That he couldn't immediately realize the total difference of environment--that his BIGGEST skill, RECRUITING, has no value in the NFL. So...it's also a guy who, over the years slowly came to believe all of his own headlines and invincibility. Michael might have a point about self-destructiveness--intergalactic-level narcissists tend to have a lot of self-hatred.

I liked that Michael downplayed the "college coaches can't hack it in the NFL" aspect. I know there's something to that, but it's not impossible for a college coach to also win at the NFL level--Jimmy Johnson did it. Jim Harbaugh did it (and would have an NFL job again this immediate offseason if he made himself available). Pete Carroll...granted, he was an NFL coach first, but he had success at both levels. Butch Davis isn't going to be mistaken for Vince Lombardi, but for decades he was the only Browns coach to actually get them into the playoffs.

Urban clearly don't have what it takes. Even Nick Saban who many believe is the best college coach of all time failed with the Miami Dolphins.
