Former Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer is in the hot seat again after seemingly blaming the fragility of football today – at least in part – for his short-lived career in the NFL.
Meyer said in an interview with NFL Network on Friday he believed “everything is so fragile” when asked if he believed his style of coaching could be successful in the NFL today.
“I think college has changed quite a bit, too,” he said. “Just society has changed. You think how hard you pushed. … I believe there is greatness in everybody and it’s the coach’s job to find that greatness, however you do that. Positive encouragement. Pushing them to be greater, making them work harder, identifying flaws and trying to fix [them].”
Meyer went on to say that he doesn’t “believe in blaming players” and denied the allegation made by former kicker Josh Lambo that the coach kicked him during warmups in August.
