You would think the worst thing Urban Meyer has went through this seaosn was the bar video where he was feeling up a woman that wasn’t his wife.
We found out this week that was not true. According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Meyer’s attitude, approach, and coaching style have led to “multiple run-ins” with players and coaches in recent weeks.
One staff meeting for the team turned ugly when Meyer allegedly called his assistants “losers.”
“During a staff meeting, Meyer delivered a biting message that he’s a winner and his assistant coaches are losers, according to several people informed of the contents of the meeting, challenging each coach individually to explain when they’ve ever won and forcing them to defend their résumés,” Pelissero wrote, via NFL.com.
After the report, CBS Sports insider Jason La Canfora added an “in-house replacement” for Meyer has already emerged.
“Sources said general manager Trent Baalke has become a strong proponent of Jaguars assistant head coach/inside linebackers coach Charlie Strong as an in-house candidate should ownership end up parting with Meyer after just one season.”
Charlie Strong spent nearly 40 years at the collegiate level before making the jump to the NFL. He has 10 years of head coaching experience, spread throughout his time at Louisville, Texas and South Florida.

If Meyer has lost the respect of the locker room, there is no going back and the franchise would have no choice but to part ways with him.
