Jacksonville Jaguars

Current favorite: Urban Meyer

A month ago Urban Meyer would have been a shocking name to see connected with an NFL team, but now there are flights being tracked from Colombus, Ohio to Jacksonville, Florida and we even know exactly how much Urban Meyer is asking for per year.

Right now it seems like the job is Meyer’s if he wants it and there has been heavy speculation about this for weeks. So much so that Ryan Day was the assumed replacement option if Meyer said no and he has already pulled his name out of consideration for any head coaching opportunities.

Given what we know about the backroom dealings in the NFL, you can probably assume that means that Meyer is strongly leaning towards going to Jacksonville and Day didn’t want his team (who is in the National Championship) focused on anything other than the game against Alabama.

I have no idea what makes Urban Meyer an attractive candidate as an NFL head coach because so much of his success has been based on having more talent than anyone else. When that hasn’t been the main proponent of his wins, it is the offensive system that has produced more first round busts in the NFL than anything else we have seen.

Is he the architect to make it work at the next level? How will his college-style translate to jaded NFL players? I don’t know, but the Jags seem willing to be the ones that roll the dice.

Prediction: Urban Meyer
