Michael Thomas really should’ve kept his thoughts on Urban Meyer to himself and off social media.
Meyer was fired in the early morning hours of Thursday after posting a 2–11 record in his first season with Jacksonville. His dismissal comes following a pair of recent controversies, one of which had him allegedly kicking Josh lambo and likely leading to his removal from the head coaching position.
Meyer reportedly called his assistants “losers” in a meeting last week, and he reportedly kicked Lambo in the leg during practice in August.
Former Ohio State and current Saints receiver Michael Thomas weighed in on Meyer’s firing on Monday, and gave the worst take on the firing.
“Urban will bounce back,” Thomas tweeted. “I understand misery loves company.”
“After deliberation over many weeks and a thorough analysis of the entirety of Urban’s tenure with our team, I am bitterly disappointed to arrive at the conclusion that an immediate change is imperative for everyone,” Jaguars owner Shad Khan said in a statement Wednesday. “As I stated in October, regaining our trust and respect was essential. Regrettably, it did not happen.”
