Thirteen games into his NFL head coaching career, Urban Meyer has reached the Bobby Petrino threshold.
Almost to the day, this is when the ill-fated Petrino era ended with the Atlanta Falcons in 2007 — with the successful college coach bombing so badly after 13 games that he snuck away one morning to take a head coaching job with the Arkansas Razorbacks. This space isn’t the first time someone has engaged the Petrino prism to frame how poorly things are going for Meyer and the Jacksonville Jaguars. But it might be the first time someone suggests that the performance comparison between the two coaches is unfair… to Bobby Petrino.
