Wow. Are you trying to say you aren't too fond of him? Don't forget Jimmy Johnson went 1-15 his first year. This will probably be about like that and then the back-to-back Lombardi's a few years later.

NO ... I jest. I'm on record way back saying Lawrence will bust, but that Meyer might be able to help him. I guess that idea is going south.

Off the top of my head Jimmy and Carroll are two of the few who made the transition from college dynasty to pro success. It would be interesting to know what factors make them different. I guess the browbeating guys doesn't play to well at the next level -- Pitino, Saban, Meyer, Calipari, who else? -- but I have trouble seeing utter fail by Meyer. We should do a whole chart or thread on the subject of coaches going to next level. I'm dumb enough to think Meyer will pull some big money line upsets this year if he stays, like Saban did. He can't be stupid at football with his pedigree, can he?

Pete Carroll had extensive NFL coaching before ever taking a head coaching job in the NFL. He also was head coach twice in the NFL before ever going to USC. JJ is one of the few to actually experience success jumping into the NFL as a head coach without NFL coaching experience.

Urban has never coached anything in the NFL until now. It's just stupid to give someone like that an NFL head coaching job since it basically never works. Charlie Strong, Schottenheimer, and Bevell on his staff are also horrible, horrible choices and will lead to further failure.

Rhule seems to be decent.

Kliff is having success too fwiw (I know that's Kyler but still).

lol urbz

It felt like Chip Kelly could have done something in the NFL. He led the Eagles to a division title and 10-6 record his first year and came back and went 10-6 his second year. Then he/they had a bad third year and got fired but we all know what happened with that team a few years later; they won the Super Bowl with a lot of guys that Kelly help bring into the organization.

After that he got a one year stint in San Francisco. I don't remember what sort of team he inherited there but I assume they probably sucked at that time and not much was expected of them. I cannot even remember their quarterback, was it still Kaepernick?

Either way point being organizations should be willing to take some of the blame off the coach and analyze their current roster, etc when making decisions on whether or not to fire a coach and give a bit more time for things to develop in the organization. Exception maybe being Cleveland with the way they handled Hue Jackson, lol. How does he get a chance to Head Coach a 3rd year after winning one game total in all of his first two seasons? That was just insanity.

Care to expand on this? AFAIK, Chip didn't handle the draft or FA signings.

EDIT: After a quick search, Chip had control in 2015.

Urb taking the long week off to hit up some tOSU college skifuzza

Yltsi

Urb having himself a grand ol time

I’m not surprised he said that. He can’t schedule all the cupcakes the big schools like to schedule every year and can’t play much weaker conference opponents that are easily overmatched. Every game on the schedule is a real game against a real opponent and he isn’t going to be used to that. Reminds me of when Spurrier was talking about his next NFL opponent saying “They’ve got a good defense. Seems like everybody in this league does.” He wasn’t used to that at the college level.

Spurrier was being funny. Don't put him down on Urbz's level, that ain't right.

Spurrier is the goat witty troll.

You guys will never believe this, but Urban is sorry he got caught.

Looks like a grade-schooler's first trip to the principal's office.

Or a guy facing a firing squad.

The heart palpitations increasing rapidly

tiny headed guy is a douche

I'm guessing that could be a felony.

Where you at, ROG?

Shoutout to Holliday

Hahaha, forgot about this. Please link the original post so I can reread.

I bet this actually helps his ultimate Notre Dame aspiration, as soon as they get rid of these guys that make them a playoff laughing stock. The forgiveness factor of servants of god is a powerful thing.

vinivici,

I actually:

But wait, there's more!

Other than his wife, is there anyone who is not thoroughly enjoying this fiasco?

LOL Urb

Nothing like a good trainwreck in progress that’s for sure
