Mike Vrabel recently shared an intriguing anecdote regarding Urban Meyer, a former colleague during their time at Ohio State. During an appearance on the Manningcast, which aired during the Monday Night Football matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and the Los Angeles Chargers, Vrabel recounted an incident from a 2021 game in which Meyer asked him, 'Do I know you?' This moment took place amidst the backdrop of Meyer's challenging tenure as the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Vrabel’s story was prompted by a previous guest on the show, actor Owen Wilson, who similarly revealed that Meyer had posed the same question to him during a celebrity flag football game, highlighting a puzzling trend in Meyer's interactions. Notably, Meyer's brief stint in the NFL brought with it several surprising insights, one of which was his apparent lack of familiarity with key figures in professional football. In a story published by The Athletic in March 2022, it was documented that Meyer appeared to be unaware of several star players during his reported six-month deep dive into the league, including defensive standout Aaron Donald.

The encounter between Meyer and a staff member during the season, in which Meyer seemingly inquired about Donald, reflects a broader issue regarding Meyer's awareness of the league. Meyer dismissed this report as 'so silly,' yet Vrabel's recollection lends credence to the notion that Meyer may not have had the best recall regarding past colleagues, despite their prior collaborations at Ohio State from 2011 to 2013. The Titans faced the Jaguars in what would be Meyer's final game with the team, resulting in a decisive 20-0 victory for Tennessee on December 12, 2021. Just days later, Jaguars owner Shad Khan announced Meyer's dismissal.
