Not sure if everyone has read this yet. Chark has gone on record with the Athletic and revealed a load of pretty insane meyer stories, how he wasn't sacked within the first few months is crazy.
Not really a surprise that Chark wanted out, sounds like a pretty horrendous experience all round.
I would expect a large improvement from a few players just due to the sheer change in mentality from a piece of work like Meyer to a coach that is all about his relationship with the players.
Yep. This team just needed some more gus Bradley and marrone. I have very little sympathy for players who make millions and csnt take some "hard" coaching. This is one of the reasons the jags are back to back winners of the first pick of the draft award. We suck for what seems like 9 out of the last 10 years. Sometimes players need some hard facts and accountability. I'm all for a players coach if the team Wins. I'm not greedy. I just want to see a playoff run every year or so.

That moronic piece of garbage didn't know who Aaron Donald was.
I bet this is exactly what that moron said
"I didn't try to recruit him so he was never that good"
Why do people post links behind a pay wall?

To show the existence of the article and discuss it with people who have read it or parts of it?
Are you suggesting I should've copied and pasted the article? I would imagine the forum owners would not appreciate that!

Literally the worst coach in NFL history.
This is probably the funniest quote, most of it is just quite depressing stories of Meyer abusing staff members, making players cry, threatening to sack players/coaches every day etc.

I’m suggesting nothing. Wouldn’t it be more important and substantive to discuss the contents of the article rather than its mere existence?

I was assuming that either people could read it or that it's contents had likely been widely distributed across twitter.
It's basically a series of anecdotes, told by DJ Chark and other unnamed sources, of Urban making people cry, repeatedly threatening to sack them repeatedly every day, doing live contact drills early on (that caused Chark to break a finger) etc

I second this motion voicing disgust with such an abominable practice.

Don’t do this dude. You don’t have to cape for the worst NFL coach in history anymore.

Theres a balance thats required in todays NFL
Somewhere in between Gus and TC
Up to Shad to figure that out.
I think Pederson presents that balance. He is demanding of the players but as a former player knows when and where to soften.
We shall see.

Agreed.
You can’t go around telling players that if you cut them, they won’t make 15 dollars an hour.
Meyer is the biggest fake tough guy on the planet.

I do that sometimes, but I try to quote some of the article or summarize it a bit.
Some publications that have paywalls allow a certain number of free articles every month.
Worse than not knowing who #99 was for the Rams, I think Meyer's incompetence was revealed when he spent 4 months preparing for Game 1 vs the Texans by studying game film of Deshaun Watson, DeAndre Hopkins, and JJ Watt.
Meyer is an even bigger piece of [BLEEP] than I realized based on some of the few excerpts I have read in here alone. How the [BLEEP] do you not know who some of the best players are in the NFL? What a dunce.
You can easily watch the yearly NFLNetwork's top 100 players on YouTube. [BLEEP], you could probably ask your children, grandchildren, another player or coach to take a quick look at their current Madden game and look at the roster on there to get a feel.
"Oh, [BLEEP], so, like, any player rated above 80 are pretty good and then like, any player over 90 is pretty much considered elite, right?"

I forget who said it but someone said "If this is the way he speaks to grown men, I can't imagine what he's saying to 18 year old kids"
Shad was Khanned. Now he knows how Jags fans feel.
