Urban just did not work out in the NFL.

Former Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer's transition into the NFL was nothing short of a disaster, as he was fired by the Jacksonville Jaguars less than a year into his first season on the job that saw him amass a 2-11 record through 13 games.
The firing came on the heels of reports that he called his assistant coaches "losers" as well as an allegation from former team kicker Josh Lambo that Meyer demeaned and even kicked him earlier in the season. Of course, there was the controversy of his getting a bit too friendly with a young female in a bar AFTER having decided not to return to Jacksonville with the team following a game against the Cleveland Browns.
And now, yet another Jaguars player is speaking out against Meyer, saying that he threatened to have him cut from the team after calling him a "rookie coach". Jags safety Andrew Wingard had the following to say:
“He says, ‘Dewey, why the hell did you call me a rookie head coach? Tell me why. If it was anybody else right now, you’d already be cut,’”Wingard recalled Meyer saying. “Explain yourself to me is essentially what he said. So I had to freaking save face and tell him how much I love him and how he’s the greatest coach ever. … You’re sitting there on your off-night chilling and you get a call from your head coach: ‘Hey, I’m going to cut you if you don’t apologize for calling me a rookie head coach.’”
Needless to say, Meyer will not be getting another NFL coaching job any time soon!
