Urban Meyer went from beloved college football coach to well, you read the headline.

Urban Meyer’s stint as the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars was a complete train wreck. From the very beginning of his time in Jacksonville, things seemed to be spinning out of control. NFL Network’s Rich Eisen spoke about Meyer on The Rich Eisen Show regarding Meyer’s career in the NFL.

Eisen labeled Meyer’s time in Jacksonville as “the biggest flop in the history of the NFL.”

Eisen said:

“But word has come out in the last two days we have not hit this story because we were focused on March Madness and other items and had some terrific in studio guests take our attention away from the story which I’m going to spend a few minutes on but the idea of Urban Meyer being as I said here the biggest coaching flop in the history of the NFL and there’s been a lot of them there’s been a lot of them but to find out that just how bad we thought it was wasn’t as bad as it really was. Is beyond the pale but maybe not shocking.”

Before the season even began, he hired Chris Doyle, who was a strength and conditioning coach previously accused of being racist towards his players at Iowa.

Meyer was later accused of physically confronting former kicker Josh Lambo and kicking him during warmups.

Meyer allegedly got into a heated argument with wide receiver Marvin Jones and called some coaches “losers” at one point in the season.

I personally am going to Miss Urban in the NFL, the guy was a content machine.
