The hole that Jacksonville Jaguars coach Urban Meyer has dug for himself just keeps getting deeper.
On Monday, Meyer met with the media and said that he liked the way his 0-5 team was progressing on offense and that he’d like to see some “250/250” games, meaning at least 250 yards rushing and passing.
Jaguars coach Urban Meyer says he likes the team's offensive identity right now. Adds that he wants "250/250," meaning 250 yards rushing and 250 yards passing.

While a number of fans and reporters are aware of what a rare accomplishment that is in an NFL game, that fact was apparently lost on Meyer.
Not surprisingly, the comment led to the former Ohio State and Florida coach getting crushed on social media.

Getting 500 yards a game? That’s a pretty good strategy. I wonder why no one else thought of it before
