Urban Meyer says coaching in the NFL is like 'facing Alabama every week'
Urban Meyer’s transition to the NFL hasn’t gone as smoothly as people hoped.
The first-year Jacksonville Jaguars coach is 0-2 for the first time in his head coaching career, further showing how tough it can be to transition from college to the NFL.

Meyer apparently discussed the difference between the two levels with Denver Broncos coach Vic Fangio — and summed it up pretty well.

Go ahead. Start the debate about “Alabama can beat [insert team here].”
Meyer retired from Ohio State in 2018, but was hired as Jaguars coach this offseason. Jacksonville is led by Trevor Lawrence, the No. 1 overall pick out of Clemson who has lost back-to-back games for the first time in his life. That includes high school, by the way.
For what it’s worth, Lawrence beat the Crimson Tide the only time he faced them. We’ll see if Meyer, Lawrence and the Jaguars can turn things around, though.
