The Urban Meyer experiment is off to a rough start in Jacksonville.Meyer has faced plenty of criticism ahead of the 2021 NFL season, from his decision to as a tight endto his No. 1 overall pick Trevor Lawrence the Jaguars' starting quarterback. (Meyerfinally confirmed what everyone else already knew on Wednesday, telling reporters that Lawrence is at the top of the QB depth chart.)MORE:Well, Jags fans, we've
Yairo Munoz Jersey got more bad news. During an appearance on CBS Sports' Pete PriscotoldDamonAmendolarathat some Jacksonville players are sharing le s-than-glowing reviews of the former Florida and Ohio Statecoach."He's got to change a few things. He brought a bunch of college-like
Enos Slaughter Jersey things to the program, which I don't nece sarily agree with," Prisco said. "And I've heard some of the players aren't thrilled with him either, including having a microphone on the field, one of his a sistants on the field during practice with a boom mic, telling everybody to hydrate and hustle and get to the next period."So, obviously he's a work in progre s. He's been a good football coach everywhere he's been. It's a lot different when you recruit guys to your school and have a bunch of the top players, the five-stars, than it is trying to build something. So, it's going to be a challenge. I'm not giving up on what he can do in his first two games. I don't think that's fair to

But they're not off to a good start."Ive heard some of the players arent thrilled with him either. tells me theres some questioning of Urban Meyer already in JAX.

He has been given, as Prico put
Lou Brock Jersey it, "carte blanche" by the Jaguars' front office."From everything he's changed inside the building they've added a bunch of new things, cryotherapy, all kinds of stuff has been added in that building at his request," Prisco said. "He has the biggest coaching staff in the NFL. It's enormous, so he got everything he wanted there. There's a trainer, a stretching coach, for every position when they stretch so that they all get the proper stretching. The team has gone above and beyond what he has requested, so now he has to win."And the problem is he said he had the best of the best on his coaching staff. It's clear that that offense is a disaster right now. They have no idea what they're doing. ... They have problems. They have a week to
Vince Coleman Jersey kind of fix them, or a couple weeks before the regular season. But right now, they do not look very good."
