Urban Meyer talking to Chargers - why not Jets?

[WowOhWow 663]

Urban is now linked to Jags and Bolts.  Why not us?  JD, ton of capital, QB to mold, a huge challenge to suit his ego?  I'd love to see him get an interview.

[Bronx 578]

Too cold in NY.

Some guys might not be interested in molding Darnold at this point.

[rayzor 462]

He only likes Trevor or Herbert?  Besides, we're too deep into Saleh now.  Unless he leaves without being signed, you can forget about other candidates.

Jaguars: Trevor Lawrence & owner willing to throw big bucks
Chargers: Justin Herbert
Jets: Sam Darnold + ultra cheap owner

[prime21 5,518]

QB and warm weather.

[QB1 1,307]

Because our GM isn't bat sh*t crazy.

[slimjasi 10,091]

He probably considers both jobs to be better than the Jet job. 

[undertow 197]

No chance Meyer is coming back to coaching and living in New Jersey. lol

[Dcat 12,081]

Can somebody update the present state of liquidness at 1 Jets Drive? 

Is it moist, damp, dripping, oozing, gushing, squirting, flowing or spritzing yet?

[Jetsfan4life90 580]

Maybe it's also the opposite. JD may not be interested in Urban Meyer.

[pdxgreen 4,915]

We aren't as sure a deal would be my guess.  Meyer doesn't want to make a huge commitment to a rebuild.  And wants the franchise easiest to turn around.  Herbert's presence is huge and they have some key pieces on defense.  Murray is going to be a Pro Bowler eventually.  He's a future star to go along with Bose and the rest.

[British Jet 1,145]

He’s struggling to commit to the most appealing jobs on the market. What in God’s name makes you think he’d want to head to the Jets? 😂

Trying to get the most money he can out of the Jags

He has super long nipples and is afraid of the cold weather for sure. He makes his WRs run sprints attached to his nipples for extra resistance. A truly innovative coach. 

[UntouchableCrew 5,901]

I don't think the Jets would give him the money and power he'd want and I doubt Urban would want anything to do with the NY media.

I wouldn't be surprised if talking to the Chargers was really just for leverage on Jacksonville anyway.

[joewilly12 23,725]

Doesn't he have health issues.

The last place he needs to be is HC of the NY Jets.

Eh, I don't know if I'd rule out the Chargers as a destination. Warm weather/climate, franchise QB in Herbert it looks like, good pieces there already, and an owner that would pay.

You could argue that the Chargers are actually a better job than the Jaguars. 

[pdxgreen 4,915]

Besides.  A coaching candidate with concerning health issues who always bails on his teams.  Haven't we had one of those?  (padum pum tsssst!)

[FlightBoyz 1,143]

Dude supposedly wants $12 million a year. F that. 

[shawn306 36,744]

I don't see the great loss in Meyer. Some of the best college coaches fail miserably in the NFL.

Does he even have a clean bill of health ?

[ScarletKnight89 3,484]

If he's going to take a shot at the NFL, it's going to be with a team that has a QB. He's not stupid.

Why run the risk of going to the Jets and possibly spending 4 years trying to find a QB? 

With the Jaguars, he probably believes in Trevor Lawrence. 

With the Chargers, everyone knows how good Herbert was as a rookie.

With the Jets, you have a 3 year starter who doesn't look like the answer. The consensus in the industry seems to be that after Lawrence, there is a big gap in QB talent. Most believe Lawrence is a sure thing to be a good player. With Fields and Wilson, it's more about development, etc.

Why would he be interested in the Jets? 

[WowOhWow 663]

He has a massive ego.  You turn the Jets around you've basically climbed the mountain.  If ever there was a time in recent memory to take this job this is it.  You don't like Darnold...go get another QB.  You like Darnold, go build with the abundance of resources.  Plenty of reasons.  Khan is crazy.  He wants to be the GM.  His son is also heavily involved.  Chargers are a great destination.  No doubt.  But dealing with Mahomes every year makes it very hard.  AFC East is at least wide open.

That's why he'd be interested.  His $12M price tag is why we might not be interested.

Honestly, what QB's has Meyer developed ? The only one that did squat was Alex Smith, and it wasn't until Harbough got him. He was horrible when he got into the NFL.

Who was the most successful coach to spend most of his career in the college and then make a SB.  Bobby Ross?

[dbatesman 47,559]

Because the Jets are a toxic waste dump and no one with a brain and a choice wants to coach here

Good point. All the more reason for him to avoid the Jets. 

[TokyoJetsFan 1,978]

Because Meyer only walks into good programs and then leaves them a mess and then has a sudden medical issue and walks away from it. We’re  a mess already. 

[GreenFish 4,149]

Easy. Chargers and Jags both have a more appealing job.

The Jets might be 3rd. But there’s a drop off there. A good coach can probably have that Chargers team in the playoffs next year. 

[SayNoToDMC 14,757]

Jags and Chargers post moving to LA are no pressure spots. Their game day situations with fans is about the same with or without Covid restrictions. He's got health problems and the NY market would kill him within a year. Might as well get paid to retire in nice weather
