Mike Vrabel Reveals Hilarious Urban Meyer Story on ManningCast
In a recent appearance on the ManningCast, former Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel shared a jaw-dropping story about his former boss, Urban Meyer. The Manning brothers were hosting Monday Night Football when they showed a hilarious clip of Owen Wilson introducing himself to Meyer during a celebrity flag football game. In the clip, Meyer, seemingly oblivious, stared at Wilson and asked, “Who are you? How do I know you?” Wilson, unfazed, replied, “I’m on your team.”
Vrabel then took the opportunity to one-up the bizarre moment with his own tale about Meyer, who was the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars at the time. Vrabel revealed that when the two crossed paths, Meyer asked, "Do I know you?"
Vrabel, with a grin, responded, “Yeah, I’m the head coach of the Titans, and I worked for you for two years.” Vrabel had worked under Meyer as the defensive line coach at Ohio State from 2012 to 2013, so it was both surprising and amusing that Meyer didn’t immediately recognize him.

For those who are familiar with Meyer’s short and controversial stint in the NFL, this story might not be that shocking. Meyer, who took over the Jaguars in 2021, was notorious for his disastrous tenure. He managed to alienate players, fail to adapt to the NFL, and create chaos in just 13 games before being fired. To add to his list of mistakes, he apparently couldn't recognize one of his former assistants—someone who had helped him lead the Ohio State defense.
Considering Meyer’s reputation for bungling just about everything during his NFL coaching career, this awkward moment might seem like just another page in the book of Meyer missteps. After all, recognizing a former employee—especially one with as much experience and success as Vrabel—is something that should come naturally for a coach, especially one who has spent decades in the game.
Vrabel's story highlights the bizarre and often humorous reality of Meyer’s brief and tumultuous NFL coaching career. With his failure to recognize Vrabel, Meyer’s legendary lack of awareness is brought into sharper focus. For fans who lived through Meyer’s tenure with the Jaguars, it serves as yet another reminder of the chaos he left behind.
As the Mannings laughed along with Vrabel’s tale, it became clear that Meyer’s time in the NFL was filled with one questionable decision after another. Despite being a successful college coach, his NFL journey was marked by odd interactions like this one, making Vrabel’s story just another absurd chapter in Meyer’s coaching career.
For now, Urban Meyer will likely be remembered not just for his failures as a head coach but for moments like this, where his inability to recognize a former colleague became an unforgettable piece of NFL history.
