Looks like a done deal. I think it is a really good fit but history says he will only be there 5-7 years max. The loaded AFC just got even tougher
WIll be very curious to see his coaching staff

I read Urban is looking for former NFL head coaches to be his coordinators. I'd imagine his staff will have as much NFL experience as possible. He may take Pantoni with him as that is his right hand guy, but I don't see too many OSU assistants following. He was known as an offensive innovator in college but he can't run Lawrence like he did his college QBs. His NFL coaching will be all about his culture building and CEO skills. I'll be rooting for him and hope he loses to the Bengals in the AFC Championship each year.
I just can’t believe that Trevor Lawrence is going to have to back up Tebow for the next 2 years.

I'd expect Jacksonville to be players in free agency.
For sure, Meyer is a people person and who wouldn't want to play for him as he builds a culture. I can listen to Meyer analyze football all day long, he's the best football analyst I've ever seen on national TV
His issue will be to avoid favorites in choosing players and coaches - needing to be very selective in FA as NFL cap constraints maginfy any mistakes (while missing on some 5 stars developing at OSU/UF was just next man up). The only thing holding him back at OSU from another 2-3 National Titles was loyalty to JT Barrett and some questionable OC (and DC coaching hires post Fickell). Oh and that Saban guy at Bama

Guy with good reputation for scoops just posted pix of Urban getting off private jet at Cecil Field (Rojo Rijo knows where that is) in Jax, stepping onto Jags welcome nat.

This should be interesting, definitely increased my interest in the Jags next year.
Go Gators!
Hoping there is a press conference today. A lot of the guys like Rapaport are saying that much of the deliberations with Shad were over facilities. That Urban wants big time facilities upgrades. Like a new practice facility like Dallas and a few other facilities have. And other upgrades.
