Three-time college national championship coach Urban Meyer had a nightmare of an attempt to transition to the NFL ranks.

Meyer endured several on-field and off-field scandals throughout his tumultuous reign as the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Most infamously, he left the team after a Thursday Night Football loss to the Cincinnati Bengals to venture to Columbus, Ohio, where he got exposed for receiving a lap dance from a woman who was not his wife in his popular downtown restaurant.

The Jaguars fired Meyer, for cause, in December 2021 with the team wallowing through the season with a 2-11 record. Though owner Shan Khan’s Meyer experiment imploded before he coached an entire season, it appears Meyer’s legacy lives (in part) in the new team facility recently unveiled by the franchise.

According to Associated Press reporter Mark Long, the Jaguars’ new facility has “a wall of helmets” that will be aligned weekly with the Top 25. Thanks to Meyer’s being heavily involved in the design of the new facility, the helmet of his former team, the Ohio State Buckeyes, currently occupies the top spot.

The NFL world was quick to react to the bizarre news, with many people noticing helmets that were seemingly out of place in a traditional Top 25 college football ranking:
