I figured he'd at least outperform Petrino.

Based on the below thread, I'm not sure how he lasts much longer.

This video of Urban is sooooo good. I don't remember seeing this last year. Watch it all the way through.

And Meyer's response makes him look like such a weirdo.  I'm not saying the video is great, but it affects his personal life a hell of a lot more than his coaching life.  Its a locker room of 21-30 year old dudes, they don't really care.

Right.  I was reading Ben Koo of Awful Announcing, and he pretty much said that Urban is making this so much worse.  Just have your Monday meeting, say it was a dumb thing to do, and move on. 

He also said that this is all very "on brand" with Urban though...trying in vain to control the messaging when you aren't going to be able to do that.

Hadn't seen that before. Hilarious.

You can also see a lot of what is going on in front of urban by looking at the reflection behind him

I have no doubt Urban was baked as can be for that interview, and once the guy on the boat comes inside and is lighting up the bong, and then Urban's harsh "No!", that is the goods right there.

It doesn't even make him look like a weirdo, it makes him look like an absolute sociopath that he could manufacture such an absurd justification or explanation and think people would believe him.

God I hope not.  I cant stand Meyer, think he's an all time scumbag, and think he's beyond detestable...but I also think he's a top 3-5 college coach of all time and ND is thought by some to be his dream job.  I don't need that program having their Saban.

Brian Kelly is just a couple years older than Urban so I doubt that happens because I don't see Kelly going anywhere soon.

I'm not even sure Urban is touchable by USC right now. Assuming he doesn't survive in Jacksonville, I think he's going to have to rehabilitate his image for a couple of years and then land at a place that won't really care.  Think Texas if Sark flames out.

I never understood why the Cowboys tripped over themselves to extend him early.

Not very woke of you to say that, especially considering that devastating injury during the Fiesta Bowl that cost him millions. Jake Butt is another, as is D'Eric King.

Billy, I misinterpreted your previous post. I apologize for my snarky response.

I believe we actually agree on this issue, though that doesn't really matter.

Not really, or at least not nearly as much as you seem to be implying. Smith recovered well enough to have a very, very good season, which caused Jerry to jump the gun and give him a pretty huge guaranteed contract.

If you've watched him play, his issues don't appear to be physical. In pursuit, he can still run down running backs with ease. He is fast and explosive. His problem is that he is seemingly always out of position.  Wrong lane, wrong angle, poor tackling, poor instincts. None of those are due to his previous injury.
If you think for one second that I am comparing the USA to China you have bumped your hard.

The Athletic listed the Bucs, Chiefs, Panthers and Chargers as possible destinations for Gilmore but it sounded more like educated guess than insider knowledge.

Josina Anderson says Gilmore is looking for $15 million.
Not a lot of teams have that kind of cap space in October.

Edit: According to Over the Cap, four teams have more than $15 million in cap space currently: Jacksonville, Philly, Denver and Carolina.
