Why Did Urban Meyer Fail in the NFL? | Analyzing Above the Line: Lessons in Leadership and Life

Urban Meyer is a paradoxical figure. He has turned around multiple college football programs, won 3 national championships across two different teams, wrote an outstanding book on leadership titled Above the Line: Lessons in Leadership and Life From a Championship Program, yet he will go down as one of the most controversial and toxic leaders in NFL history. Urban Meyer's time with the Jacksonville Jaguars will go down in infamy, from his failure to win, and his fateful night at the bar. In this weeks video, we're breaking down the irony in what Urban Meyer preached, but failed to put into practice.

The NFL Has An MVP Problem | 2014 MVP Controversy: Why JJ Watt Should Have Won Over Aaron Rodgers

The NFL's MVP Award has always caused debate, but in 2014, we witnessed one of the great robberies of all time. JJ Watt should have been the 2014 MVP, but instead it was awarded to QB Aaron Rodgers, for an efficient, but not outstanding season, relative to his other MVP performances. In this video, we're breaking down why the NFL has a problem with the MVP award, and how some of the great single season performances in the modern game have been forgotten, because voters always choose to default to the QB position.
