ESPN’s Marcus Spears rips Urban Meyer: ‘He shouldn’t be the head coach of anybody’

Marcus Spears didn’t hold back about the latest in the Urban Meyer saga Monday.
The ESPN analyst was discussing the viral video which saw a woman — who’s not Meyer’s wife — grinding on him at a bar. Meyer apologized Monday morning, but Spears still went so far as to call for Meyer to be fired as Jacksonville Jaguars coach.

This isn’t the first time Meyer has gotten himself into controversy since his arrival in Jacksonville this offseason. He hired former Iowa strength coach Chris Doyle even though Doyle was under fire for alleged racism while with the Hawkeyes.
Meyer also brought in Tim Tebow, whom he coached at Florida as a quarterback, to play tight end. Tebow didn’t make it out of training camp, and many wondered why he’d bring Tebow in to play a position he’s never played professionally.
It’s safe to say this isn’t the last we’ll hear about this.
