He was a hardass and he insulted and belittled the players he felt weren't working hard enough. By itself that just makes him a jerk but throwing in the racially tinted comments makes it intolerable.

Worse though is he apparently put 13 players in the hospital with his routine. That's not working players hard, that's indicative of someone who is downright dangerous.

That hardass routine works on college players but not in the NFL. As Austen Lane said on the radio yesterday, NFL locker rooms have a way of pushing back on personalities like Doyle's. 

It's over, though. Time to move on but I'm afraid Meyer has committed an unforgivable act in this day of woke. I have no doubt this brief hiring will be lodged against him by disgruntled players and SJWs at every available opportunity. 

Not a good way to start. Meyer better get acquainted to the optics of his job, and fast.
