Nor do Penn State fans every bitch.....so we have at least 2 fair minded, reasonable fan bases.
Urban to Jags
- Thread starter Norm Petersin
- Start date
If you’re Urbs and ever aspired you give the NFL a shot, then this is about as sweet a chance as you’ll get in this lifetime. The right to draft a generational QB prospect, tons of extra draft capital, and the most cap flexibility in the league combine to make it so. There also seems to be a pretty hands-off owner in place.
I must object. My brother in law had access to an RV and we used to borrow it for PSU night games and make a weekend of it. I was in the RV lot for several OSU=PSU games and very few I encountered were rational. Once a Buckeye fan tried to tell me why it was totally irrational for a PSU fan to think they could win. I just thanked him for his time and walked away.
I have to disagree with that. Just from my experience on this board, I can say that PSU fans are the most open-minded and fair fans out there.
Here you go.
Ohio State's Urban Meyer reveals brain cyst behind headaches, says he'll coach 'as long as I can'
The Ohio State coach said the cyst, which was first diagnosed in 1998, is an ongoing issue he has to 'manage.'
amp.usatoday.com
Meyers medical excuse to leave Ohio State was/is a complete lie. It was never about the brain cyst. I think it’s pretty clear now that Ohio State told Urban Meyer they were moving on from him and the 2018 season would be his last at OSU. Ohio State fans even acknowledge the garbage medical excuse nowadays but they are of the mindset that Meyer left because he did not want to work with the OSU President/AD anymore.
Sources: Jaguars in advanced talks with Meyer
The Jaguars and Urban Meyer are meeting again Thursday about the team's head-coaching position, a source told ESPN, adding that the situation is "trending" toward a deal being completed.

Second time around Pete has had success in the NFL. He got fired his first time.
Amazing how $10 million+ a year cures your medical issues. I wonder if somebody gave me a paltry 5 million would cure my lower back problems???
I'd take a million cash. Then I would not visit the chiro like I did this morning.

I read the number is $12 million. You have to admit he did a pretty good acting job on the sideline of having issues. Now he is spry and full of vigor.
Took a Hollywood tour many years ago......Mansions etc. I said to my wife...these stars have so much money, they pay people to jog for them. She said, "really?"
Joe also thought Bobby Bowden was a good man. Bobby barely waited for the body to cool before he started bad mouthing JoePA. Joe was a great football coach and person, but he was hardly infallible when judging character.
I saw the following on Twitter: How will Urban Meyer succeed in a league where all of the teams pay their players and not just his?
I guess he is going to sell his house in Boalsburg.
That's the initial rumor I heard as well, he was demanding $12M. Later reports came out and said that wasn't true however.
If he isn't successful within 3 years, he'll start having health issues again
I am amazed Meyer is doing this. He will struggle mentally from the wear and tear of the NFL. Every week he will face a team with talent equal to his, unlike the college scene.
Reports are that Ernest Angely gave him a good open palm forehead shot and yelled - HEALED. Suburban fell into the arms of Angely’s assistants.
All is good to go.

All is good to go.

He will take a few, but OSU will be fine. Unlikely Day goes anywhere. He received a 3 year extension and word is he loves Columbus. But you can hope.
Joe was just overly generous in providing people the benefit of the doubt...to his detriment.
Meyer's hiring comes after regular communication between him and the Jaguars. Sources previously told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Meyer had been assembling a coaching staff, including some assistants from the college ranks, ahead of taking the Jaguars job.
"I'm ready to coach the Jacksonville Jaguars," Meyer said in a statement. "Jacksonville has an enthusiastic fan base, and the fans deserve a winning team. With upcoming opportunities in the NFL Draft, and strong support from ownership, the Jaguars are well-positioned to become competitive. I've analyzed this decision from every angle -- the time is right in Jacksonville, and the time is right for me to return to coaching. I'm excited about the future of this organization and our long term prospect for success."
Former Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Scott Linehan, who was at LSU in 2020, is emerging as a prime candidate to become Meyer's offensive coordinator in Jacksonville, a source told ESPN's Todd Archer and Jeremy Fowler.----------------ESPN

We will find out for sure if he can coach. Jags are a bad organization plus he may not realize there is a salary cap in the NFL something he never had to worry about at FLA. Or O$U cause there never was a cap at these schools. No cupcake games either. I say he doesn’t make 5 years with the Jags.
And the game is more interesting when a good college coach can make the jump and be successful. It’s happened a lot less over the past 15 years. The NFL seems too focused on retreads and coordinators who actually didn’t have a ton of duties for Andy Reid or Belichek.
