Urban Meyer NFL

Do you think NFL teams should pursue him and if he went do you think his coaching style and philosophy would succeed? Why or why not?

He said last week it isn't something he has interest in.

Why? Everyone always talks about Saban as the GOAT college coach, but Urban Meyer is 12 years younger. He has a realistic chance to surpass Saban before he retires.

He would have heart problems

He'd only make the jump if he could get Tebow as is QB.

What else would he say? "I would leave if given the right offer"

The reason there hasn't been any rumors of Meyer jumping to the NFL is that he had zero experience coaching in the NFL not even as an offensive quality control coach. Meyer's been a college coach for his entire coaching career. The other college coaches who jumped to the NFL like Saban, Petrino and Jim Harbaugh had some prior experience as an assistant coach in the NFL. The only college coach I can remember who jumped to the NFL without previous NFL coaching experience is Steve Spurrier and he was in completely over his head. Marvin Lewis basically had to run the entire team when he was there because Spurrier didn't even know how to run practices correctly. That's the type of risk NFL teams will be taking if they hire Meyer.

Chip Kelly had no NFL experience

I think Meyer could potentially go down as the GOAT college coach. I have my doubts about him succeeding in the NFL thou.

I'm not sure what he means but I do know that Spurrier was clueless up here.

He couldn't handle the stress of the SEC, how's he going to handle a longer season

Like there's no stress being the coach at Ohio State. Expectations are as high there as at any university in the country.

I mean, he did have a nervous breakdown. It happened. Not sure what's funny

Spurrier didn't even know that the offense and defense practiced on the same field in the NFL. He thought they practiced on separate fields because that's what they do in college.
quote:
Not long after hiring Marvin Lewis, the architect of the Baltimore Ravens' dominating 2000 Super Bowl defense, and making him the highest-paid defensive coordinator in the NFL ($850,000 ayear, with incentives that could push the total past $1 million),Spurrier asked Lewis which fields the offense would use during practice and which the defense would use. "At Florida you probably had a second team, a third team and a fourth team,"Lewis recalls telling Spurrier. "Here we don't even have a second team. We have 53 players. That's it. We practice together--on the same field."

He's the coach. Can't they practice any way he wants?

Did I say there was no stress at Ohio State?
Do you think it is there is more competition for recruiting and in conference at Florida or Ohio State? Maybe Jim will change that
This came from Meyer's own mouth, not me.
quote:
“After the SEC Championship game, he thought he was having a heart attack,” said Rabinowitz, describing the aftermath of Florida’s only loss that season, a 32-13 Alabama victory.
“His wife, as a nurse, realized after about 30 seconds, it was not that. It was something in his esophagus and he took medicine and he was fine. But, clearly, the pressure and the stress caused…it wasn’t a nervous breakdown per say, but it was probably closer than he would have liked.”
quote:
“He would lose a game or two, and then he just kind of lost it,” Rabinowitz said. “He would spend all night trying to devise punt return plays or whatever, instead of getting sleep. He lost a ton of weight and he didn’t know how to cope.”
Not sure what was so funny

Meyer: 'I thought I was dying' in '09
quote:
Twitter Pinterest Email print comment Ohio State coach Urban Meyer told HBO's "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel" he was depressed while coaching at Florida in 2009, lost 37 pounds and was "mentally broke."
Meyer was suffering from chest pains and self-medicating for his stress.
quote:
"And then you start thinking, 'There's something wrong with me mentally, you know? What is going on here?' "
Meyer said he was depressed. "I thought I was dying," Meyer said. "Mentally, I was broke."
quote:
“If a case study was ever done on those years, it wasn’t pretty,” Meyer said. “The toll on my body, the toll on my mind. I would just get sick, I mean like physically ill. What could I have done better? It was my fault we lost this game. I didn’t cover that in practice.”
quote:
Meyer, who ultimately had to quit Florida after the stress became too much, said the entire ordeal left him “mentally broke.”
I don't think he's cut out for the NFL and a 16 game season.
