Jaguars get $30 million score thanks to Urban Meyer ruling

The Jacksonville Jaguars are ready to make some noise during the 2026 NFL season. Jacksonville is on the rise ever since head coach Liam Coen joined the organization. The Jaguars will save some money thanks to a recent ruling related to a former head coach.

Former Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer lost his arbitration over his 2021 firing, per Brett McMurphy of On3. The decision will save the Jaguars more than $30 million.

Jacksonville fired Meyer just 13 games into his first season as the team’s head coach. The team made the decision despite inking Meyer to a five-year contract just before the 2021 season.

Meyer made some incredibly poor decisions as Jaguars head coach, which made that decision easy for owner Shad Khan. Meyer showed a surprising lack of knowledge of his team and the wider NFL. The final straw was rumors that Meyer literally kicked a former Jaguars kicker, which broke just days before his firing.

It should be no surprise that Meyer later admitted that he was not the right fit for the Jaguars.

“It is different. Just the amount of time you get with your quarterback. Just the amount of time you get with your team. The roster management. How you practice,” Meyer said back in 2022 about the differences between the NFL and college football, per Tyler Nettuno. “You know, the amount of reps you get before you go play a game, to me, was shockingly low. For example, we would practice, you maybe get one or two reps at something, next thing you know you’re calling it in the game. In college, you never do that. In college, you’re gonna get at least a dozen opportunities to practice that before you ask a player to go do it in the game. So there are a lot of differences.”

Hopefully this is the last time that Jaguars fans have to be reminded of the short-lived Meyer era in Jacksonville.
