The Manning Cast’s alternate broadcast of Monday Night Football generally produces great football-related stories. That also applied to Urban Meyer’s thirteen-game tenure as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

In Week 12, these two forces met in an amazing, somewhat baffling, yet completely believable story from NFL fixture Mike Vrabel.

Vrabel spent fourteen seasons in the league as a linebacker and six as head coach of the Tennessee Titans. He spent another two as defensive line coach for Meyer’s Ohio State Buckeyes. But when the two met in 2021, Meyer took one look at the former All-Pro, NFL Coach of the Year and, most importantly, his former employee and asked, “do I know you?”

“Yes, I am the head coach of the Titans,” Vrabel told a chuckling Peyton and Eli Manning. “And I worked for you for two years.”

For any other head coach, most of whom have encyclopedic knowledge of the game and the main characters within it, this would be incredible. But considering the countless ways Meyer screwed up pretty much everything related to his NFL tenure, this was pretty standard.

Meyer was bad enough to be fired two-thirds of the way through the season with the Jaguars, a franchise that put Gus Bradley at the helm for more than three years. He was such a disaster that we were able to publish an article here called “12 Times We Told You Urban Meyer is the Worst,” and it still missed some of Meyer’s oafish behavior.

Including, apparently, recognizing the head coach of a division rival who also happened to be one of his assistant coaches less than a decade earlier. Urban Meyer, man.
