No. Aside from all that I take issue with your assertion that everyone that doesn't agree with the hire is in the stone ages when you, yourself, say there is a valid concern. Read slowly. Maybe it will sink in. ![]() We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!
The hiring of our New HC is complete. Thankkkkkkkk Ya! Welcome to Jax. Mr. Meyer. Now whom will you be relying on to assist you in the DC and OC positions? Hmmmm. I'm asking for a friend.
Time Will Tell. NH3.

To inform some, and remind others:
A great manager is a great manager. No matter what industry you transfer them too. Because their skillset is building a winning culture and achieving the owner(s) vision. They don't have to know how to actually flip the burgers, or how to close loans, or how many cc in that syringe, or how to complete the form for ____. That's not their job. Their job is to hire people who do! And then to manage those people. Urban has a proven record in football of delivering a winning product. ***as I type this I'm hearing a statement from Urban and he made a statement that he's going to go hire people he believe will bring a winning culture to Jacksonville*** We show less advertisements to registered users.

I am not worried about him building a staff, I worry about player management now that he can't treat pro players like he did his college players. That is my only major concern with this hire other than how long he actually stays here of course.

And then expound into why Shad who actually knows him, doesn't seem to have a problem with that? Well thing is, whatever we THINK we know about these players and coaches, people who are actually in those circles know them better. Whoever your primary choice was for HC, whatever Coordinator you think is a better hire...for all we know he is an introvert with a stuttering mush mouth. Has no ability to build a culture! He's just good with Xs and Os as a introvert would be. And yes your mentality of "no NFL experience" is outdated. Teams are hiring civilian analyst for GM positions. They're on the way to hiring persons from other sports and etc. Honestly, what's happening is the "good ol boy" closed fraternity of the NFL us falling away. And some do not wish to see that.

I'm praying we hire Fontenot for GM. I know a lot of people are thinking it's Baalke, but if it were him, wouldn't he already be hired and announced at the same time as Meyer? He's already an employee of the team, so I would've assumed if we wanted him, they would've announced both hirings at the same time, wouldn't they?
I feel Urban is the best available hire as Bellichick isn't available.
Besides that guy, I feel as though all the other coaches and GMs are just guys. They have some good seasons, some bad seasons. Some good drafts, some bad drafts. It's easy to look like a good Coordinator when you have Josh Allen or Mahomes! It doesn't mean you can coach (manage) an entire 53 man roster and maintain relationships with all of your staff. Most coordinators are better at being a coordinator than a HC.

The one glaring difference is that you don't have to worry about sliding your player a few hundred to buy a pair of sneakers he really want. Until most players get in their 30s, and are married with a family....I'm sorry to say but their mentality doesn't change much from their college days lol. Except they now have money. Still the same goofy, entitled, mostly immature guys, they've been since pop Warner. If you've ever had a chance to be around college and professional players, you know that the talk of Michael Irving, etc., about "You're now dealing with a grown MAN" is all cap. They're the same except for the paycheck and not on campus.
When the Jaguars announced the hire the national media probably heaved a sigh of relief.
A great coaching hire could have helped catapult the Jaguars into Green Bay/Pittsburgh territory (small market that's now going to always have a team and will sell merchandise to people that don't live there). But now it's more likely the story in a few years will be about how the Jaguars blew it, and how Trevor was wasted in a place like Jacksonville. The national media will love that.

I think if he brings enough guys with NFL experience in around him I'll warm up to Urb as HC a little more. There's still the health concerns and cut and run stuff that will always linger, but if he assembles a solid staff with guys like Morris and a Schwartz-like DC (I think Jim said he's retiring or taking a few years off or something) that would ease my mind about his lack of experience at this level.

Just waiting on the Saints to finish their season. (01-15-2021, 09:26 AM)homebiscuit Wrote: If Urban Meyer's wife doesn't want him to coach, he can always divorce her and marry Jeff Prosser. Oy vey, you should hear him on the radio this morning. When I hear his voice I start looking for a rusty ice pick to cram into my eardrums.

I mean, at least my choices in Eric B and Saleh have proven something at this level. Urb is still wait an see. Just hope for all our sake, he at least gives us Chip Kelly success in yr 1 an 2 if anything. Maybe do a little research about college coaches records when coming to the NFL. Its not as 2020 as you think and has been tried plenty before with the same optimism instead of going with proven success at this level.(01-15-2021, 09:59 AM)Dimson Wrote: Urban has always hired good staffs.
