It still seems to me like he didn't hire most of the coaches and someone else did that. It just seems weird from the start like he was just here for a check.

I get everyone hating him but the Jags are soft. Either you are motivated, ignore him, or stand up and say something. Sounds like the Jags got their feelings hurt and cried all year. Where was the leadership from the players. Every single player seemed ok with it as they did and said nothing. Some players are untouchable and should have put a stop to it.

His coaching style sucks because fear isn't a great motivator for most people. It will work short term but generally doesn't end well. I'm surprised it hasn't come out in the news that he was this bad. Unless he was wanting players to bond and pushback, I don't see how he thought this would work.

I'm SHOCKED you have this bad take.

Also. Can you name the players on the Jags (who have won 4 games in 2 years) that are untouchable? Outside of Trevor (who was a rookie), not a single Jag is untouchable.

Being a leader means you stand up to bullies. I thought all young players wanted to standup for rights, bullying, injustice, etc. Trevor, Jones, and few others not on rookie deals should have said something instead of doing nothing. Standing by and doing nothing is accepting the behavior. There are others who could have said something and potentially been cut but that shouldn't have mattered if they were actually bothered by what was happening.

I guess a man's personal convictions and their judge of character aren't always one and the same. I'm not a fan of Tebow but I'm not not a fan either. Mostly I feel indifferent about him and don't know anything much about him but I've always thought he had high moral character to go with those convictions.

If he is best buddies with Meyer my opinion of Tebow has changed. You become who you surround yourself with.

Yep I don't see how Tebow could just overlook that. You can live with things you can't change but if Tebow is that close to him, he should have said something. He should have let it be known he wasn't ok with him treating people like that.

In fact Tebow was the golden boy and I'd expect Meyer to understand that he needed different treatment than some anonymous player at another position.

Tebow's transcripts needed some home schooling help. Meyer also overlooked a lot of stuff at UF for grads and crime, so he isn't wrong that the players he recruited had a lot of issues. I'm guessing the comment was viewed as a racial stereotype though.
