Urban Meyer is already dreaming of Texas, USC and Notre Dame

Seems like there's some truth to it

Ted Johnson was on The Sports Hub yesterday morning and he was saying that he'd heard from his sources that Meyer had lost the room in week one because he tried to treat the players like they were college guys and acted like a hardo, FWIW. I know Johnson is a blow hard but it holds water when you think of college coaches going to the pros and trying to run that program like they did in college. It never works because the players in the pros make too much money to put up with bullshit like you have to in school. He said the same thing about Joe Judge potentially losing the Giants players by making them run laps after their loss on Sunday, once the crowd had left.

The last college coach I can remember having great success in the NFL was Jimmy Johnson. But then he was pretty much running a pro team at Miami anyway so.... :naughty: :laugh:

I don't include Pete Carroll because he went from college to pro back to college then back to the NFL. Johnson came straight from Miami to Dallas and in a few years won a Super Bowl.

There have been plenty of coaches who've made the jump and been relatively successful. Urban Meyers is simply not one of those guys and never will be due to the fact that at the pro level it's about the players, while in college its about the coach. I don't think he's the type of guy that can handle not being the focal point. You couple that with him already having ditched out on two college programs for "health" related issues, and I've viewed him in Jacksonville as a disaster waiting to happen. Didn't take long either....:biglaugh:
