Since this disastrous tenure in Jacksonville, not many people in and around the NFL have stood up for Urban Meyer. But on Monday, Saints receiver Michael Thomas had enough of all the slander.

Earlier in the day, it was reported that Meyer was so unprepared as a coach that he didn’t even know who Aaron Donald and other players around the NFL even were.

“Who’s this 99 guy on the Rams?” Urban Meyer reportedly asked a Jaguars staffer during the Rams game.

After seeing the latest damning Urban Meyer report, Michael Thomas took to social media to stand up for the longtime coach.

“I feel like y’all just saying anything now about Urban,” Thomas said on Twitter.

Michael Thomas played for Urban Meyer while attending Ohio State back in the day. And apparently, he’s one of the few former players who actually has love for Meyer.

Now, Urban finds himself in a position where it’s hard to imagine he’ll get another crack in the NFL. And it’s even unlikely that a true blue-blood program will want him after the Jacksonville disaster.

However, I kind of agree with Michael Thomas that this latest report about Urban Meyer sounds ridiculous. There’s no chance he went into the Rams game without knowing who Aaron Donald was.
