Monday on 2 Pros and a Cup of Joe, Jonas Knox, Brady Quinn and LaVar Arrington perform a wellness check on the media who ran with the narrative that Urban Meyer was the problem with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The loss to the lowly Texans goes to show it was always going to take time for Urban or any college coach to build a staff and culture that can turn around an organization like the Jags.
Brady Quinn: "The reality is, this is a terrible football team. They're now in position to have the number one overall pick, yet again for a reason. As Jonas pointed out last week, they've drafted in the top 10 since 2008. What sort of indication does that give you?
Jonas Knox: "They had the one year in 2017, other than that, every singe year. Unbelievable. They're terrible"
Brady Quinn: "You were sold this idea that it was just Urban, that was it. Now this team is going to take off. Trevor Lawrence even talked about 'clarity' moving forward."
LaVar Arrington: "We got clarity, we still stink. Hahaha."
Brady Quinn: "As good as he is as quarterback, you can't overcome the staff you're working with, what's around you right now. You're a long ways from being a competitive football team."
...
Jonas Knox: "We got destroyed by a lot of people who didn't like what we were saying. It felt like everybody ran with whatever the side of social media was. 'Oh, they're all complaining about Urban Meyer. Everybody is dancing on his grave. Okay, yeah that's the side we're going to take.' We were spot on last week when we made the point: Do you think that this is the fixer of what's happening here? Do you think that this is how it is done?"
...
LaVar Arrington: "You hired him. You change your mind, then you changed you mind, but don't act as though you gave that man a fair opportunity to try to rebuild this team because we all know that isn't what happened."
