Jaguars Reportedly Fired Urban Meyer for Cause, Don’t Intend to Pay the Rest of His Contract

The Jacksonville Jaguars reportedly fired Urban Meyer for cause.  He was in the first year of a five year contract and because he was fired for cause they don't intend on paying the remainder of his contract.

From ESPN:

The Jacksonville Jaguars fired their former head coach Urban Meyer for cause, sources tell ESPN, with the intention of not paying him the remaining four years of his contract.

A source within the organization said the Jaguars' reasons for withholding the remaining guarantees are not tied to one specific incident -- but rather a cumulation of instances that Jacksonville's officials believe justified the firing.

Running a franchise into the ground isn't enough.  Staying behind on a road trip to get a lap dance at a bar from a woman who isn't your wife and kicking players certainly is.

If we've learned anything about Urban Meyer over the years it's he doesn't go down without a fight.  No matter the evidence stacked up against him.

This will be settled by lawyers, hopefully for a much lower amount than he is owed.
