I think I saw it here somewhere, and I agreed...I'm not sure he can scheme at a NFL level.  He's used to having better Jimmies and Joes and there's a reason none (NONE!) of his QBs have ever done anything in the NFL.

Saban, who runs a NFL JV team, couldn't make it.

Not a lot of outrage on 11 Whiners. However it was surprising that there were actually some fans on there who believed his bullshit story about “health issues” and how he would never coach again. Some of the posters were definitely calling out Meyer for the way he left OSU only to end up coaching again basically a year later.

The saban couldn’t hack it bit is kinda old. He was in Miami for 2 years and didn’t do that poorly. He just resonates better with college age kids. Nfl isn’t for everyone. And I think urban is gonna bomb hard.

As purely a football mind, I have a lot of respect for Urban Meyer. That's it.

He will do well at Jacksonville if he can recruit free agents well, just like he did in Columbus. Salary restrictions may get in his way some. As others have said, how will his style work with grown men with bigger egos than the majority of his college kids, and for how long?

Michigan and the rest of the Big Ten should benefit from OSU not having him as an analyst and co-coach. And after his three to five years in the NFL, will he end up back in Ohio or on Sunday network television?
