2. College Approach
CBS Sports’ Colin Prisco reported that Meyer brought a college-style approach to discipline in the Jacksonville training camp. Allegedly this rubbed players up the wrong way because they don’t want their coaches to treat them like children. Meyer’s total lack of experience at this level is a major issue because the NFL calendar is so short.
He doesn’t have time to adapt to the league because there aren’t enough games. Meyer had an assistant coach with a boom mic telling players to hydrate and hustle. Allegedly this rubbed senior roster figures up the wrong way. The head coach’s volatile nature is well-documented but he has to realize that he can’t take a college approach to the big leagues.
