If they do indeed hire Meyer I’d give it a 50/50 chance if Fields has a big game against Alabama. If Jets get Lawrence I am going full sadist ansd rooting that he sucks. Alos, Urban Meyer is a walking aneurysm. Am guessing it doesnt work. and working fo Khan?? you think Jets is a bad place? THis guy openly happy his team kept losing when the Jets won.. . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet_Engine1 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Meyer supposedly already lining up a staff, expected to be coaching in Jacksonville. I don't see Khaaan! being cheap, and may be paying up to $12M per. As for Meyers medical condition, he has an arachnoid cyst, which causes him headaches, but he had surgery a couple of years ago to relieve the condition (and maybe a shunt?). We shall see... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prime21 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 12 million is an awful lot of money. But if that's what it takes and he is your guy then go get the deal done. I would love to throw some money at Lincoln Riley to coach us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its a PR move. Urban isn't the best man for the job, he isn't the best candidate. He's old school, and he's a college coach. But he's a big name, he has credibility - particularly in that part of America. He's well known, and respected. He's a celebrity. The Jags need a bit of excitement, a public profile, more than they need wins. They've been out of the limelight for too long. They're bordering on irrelevant, and Khan wants to gain name recognition before anything else - especially if he plans on moving the team to London. The team has to be good, but it also needs to be 'cool', with a place in the public consciousness. It all starts here. Best case scenario, Urban turns out to be a huge success...like Pete Carroll. Who came to Seattle after a long hiatus away from the NFL at USC. Worst case, Urban is another Saban. A few fireworks, and then straight back to college comfort. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2925383-urban-meyer-reportedly-seeking-12m-per-year-on-jaguars-contract Urban Meyer has been linked to the head coaching vacancy with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he won't come cheap. According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, Meyer is seeking $12 million per year to come out of retirement and become the head coach of Jacksonville. The Jaguars announced Monday they have fired Doug Marrone after a 1-15 season. Florio previously reported the job is Meyer's if he wants it. The former Ohio State coach is reportedly contacting people to fill out his staff, according to Florio. Jaguars owner Shad Khan denied discussing the job with Meyer when speaking to reporters Monday. "I've known Urban over the years... but we have not spoken to anyone about this job or interviewed them," Khan said. "We made this decision this morning, and I'll leave it at that." It could still be a desirable opening this offseason, as ESPN's Adam Schefter noted: Jacksonville would be an interesting home for Meyer, who has never coached in the NFL but has proved himself at the college level. The 56-year-old has a 187-32 career record in Division I with Ohio State, Florida, Utah and Bowling Green, winning three national championships. Even with that impressive resume, $12 million is a lofty asking price for any coach. According to John Breech of CBS Sports, Meyer would match Bill Belichick as the highest-paid coach in the NFL, though salaries are not public and the New England Patriots coach could be making more. Matt Rhule reportedly received a seven-year contract from the Carolina Panthers that could be worth up to $70 million with incentives, per Schefter. Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden also reportedly got a 10-year, $100 million contract to return to the field from television. These figures could help the Jaguars justify a high-priced deal for Meyer this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teflon-Don Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 If Fields has a field day against Alabama with Urban Meyer as Jacksonville's HC.....lord have mercy Jax take Fields #1. Man that'd be the best scenario barring us not trading down. We need Fields to go off vs Bama, it's a win-win at the top 2! #optimism 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who came to Seattle after a long hiatus away from the NFL at USC. Worst case, Urban is another Saban. A few fireworks, and then straight back to college comfort. I think Meyer will be a great hire for them, because his coaching tree is extensive with offensive success, and his offense fits the talent pool. He believes in the basic principle of spread in matching up numbers, which is enhanced by a mobile QB. He will have a choice of Lawrence/Smith, and Minshew on the team that all can fit the offense (So can Sam). I remember him being interested in the Dallas job, because Dak fits the offense as well, and he played under his ex-OC Mullen at Ole Miss. I don't think he'll fail like the other coaches, because the spread system works in today's NFL with the rule changes. Even Chip Kelly would have been successful if he wasn't a loser GM and I guess racist. The issue really is, how much control will he have on the personnel? I think that's been the main un-doing of college to NFL coaches, be it Saban, Spurrier, Kelley, etc where they believe the system supersedes the talent. If he remains just a coach, I think he'll thrive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Urban wants Fields Khan will agree to it.. Urban beloved in Florida. He left for OSU but they remember the titles. I think risky hire cause he has has SEVCERAL exhaustion episodes over years.. I just don't think that will happen.The fans for the Jag's all all in on TL...I think Khan is as well. My opinion is whoever want's to be the Jag's coach will have to except TL. Fields has to face Bama...lets see how that turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Werblin Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 So, what kind of money do you have to pay Urban Myer to coach in the NFL? I believe he was only making about $5.5 million per year when he walked away from OSU, but if Matt Ruhle is getting over $8.5 million/year from Carolina, wouldn't Urban Myer command well over $10 million/year?

It sounds about right, in light of Matt Ruhle's contract. edit: Sorry, now I see it above. Florio reported it. I can't say I blame Urban for the ask. Based on the other contracts, it sounds about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 2 hours ago, SouthernJet said: He didnt recruit Fields to OSU (he was gone by time Fields transferred to OSU), but probably scouted him in high school. Dont forget OSU didnt change Offensive system so Fields transferred there cause his skill set fit Urbans system. In that context if Fields plays lights out again vs Bama and Urban implementing his scheme with Jags its not impossible he wants Fields over Lawrence. Urban to Jags would make this weekends Fields performance a interesting topic. Perfect fit for Urban scheme and already knows it but knows it to perfection. Hell, keep Glennon or hire Fitz on a 1 year and Jags may surprise folks IMO, if Fields does to Bama what he did to Clemson it changes the whole landscape of the #1 pick. The Urban Myer angle is interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
