How fast some fans turned on their team and starting making demands for change just after four weeks and a female that had bad intentions toward Coach Urban. That was actually quick, like 0-60 in 2.2 milliseconds.

NH3...

Honestly it doesn't matter what the female's intentions were.  Urban was a willing participant.  It's like if I'm walking down the street and someone offers to sell me drugs - and I buy them. I'm not guilty because of the person selling the drugs, I'm guilty because I bought them. I could have said no.  Urban is guilty (of very poor judgement) because Urban freely did what he did, not because someone with "bad intentions" enticed him.  

As far as "turning on the team", I would say that I'm being loyal to the team by wanting a coach that puts the team's needs first and doesn't create unnecessary distractions.  IMO Urban is the one who has "turned on the team" by putting his selfishness above the team, by not flying home with the team, by being a creepy old dude that relies on his fame to get close to young women and causing a distraction that has become National news and continues to make Jacksonville and the Jags a laughingstock. C'mon, in this day and age - everyone knows that whatever you do in public is fair game for someone to document.

Good post. Shad Khan was enticed by the possibility of hiring college footballs winningest coach and all the publicity that came with it. I'm sure Meyer said all the right things during his interview for the job. Khan proved that one can be a billionaire businessman and know nothing about running an NFL team. 

The best thing for this franchise now is for Khan to come to his senses and admit he chose the wrong coach. There are very capable football guys out there like Brian Daboll who could help this team become a winner- possibly as soon as the 2022-23 season. For a billionaire like Khan, buying out Meyer's contract is no big deal. Admitting he made a mistake may be another thing. The best hope for Jaguars fans is for Meyer to realize he got in way over his head and agree to step down. He can play the martyr role and step down "for the good of the team" due to losing the confidence and respect of his team.
