Bolts Interested In Urban Meyer For HC? - Hired by Jaguars

[Boltjolt]

Either way if Matt Rhule can get 9mil he should get that and compensated with his credentials.

Urban Meyer Rumors: Report of HC Wanting $12M Jaguars Contract 'Not Accurate' | Bleacher Report | Latest News, Videos and Highlights

He won't get less than Rhule who hasn't won three national championships and is making near 9 mil.
I'd guess he gets 10-12.

Regardless he is far out of Dean's range.

Daniel Jeremiah gives the many reasons why the Chargers job is the top job and there is no reason to settle . Urban Meyer or Jim Harbaugh should be near the top of the list

Its a job = he said it. The playmakers on defense (if DJ33 can stay healthy); add a CB, add an edge rusher, more IDL depth; fix the OL

it sounds like a lot but if targeted - the Chargers could be a double digit win team

don't settle for a cheap coordinator type

We would have been a double digit win team this year, but for Lynn's stunning incompetence. With good roster additions, we should be right at the very top in terms of record.

Meyer is unproven at the NFL level altogether. It is also reasonable to question his level of commitment. To me, he is far riskier than those coordinator types you do not appear to like. For every McCoy and Lynn you throw out, I will throw out a Spurrier and Saban.

Harbaugh is less risky, but I think he is the wrong fit for the team that we have.

Daboll has good NFL experience and looks like a perfect fit for our team. Only our ownership could make this more difficult than it needs to be.

We have been a pass oriented team and we hired a RBs coach that turned out to be clueless about in game tactical decisions.

Then, when we have a great candidate just sitting there who just built up a juggernaut of an offense featuring a young QB with similar traits to our young QB, we decide to interview half of the coaching universe. And, to be clear, I like due diligence, but not if it costs us the opportunity to hire the obvious choice.

The only now available coaches are not in the playoffs. Daboll can't commit til they lose so I don't think it's a bad thing to do due diligence on others.
But they have interviewed nobody yet.

I agree with what you have said, but I also think there is a point at which you have so many candidates that it can be counterproductive.

Agree, take Garrett off the list for one

A high profile coach would help to put people in those empty seats at SOFI ~ how much is that worth?

I understand your point and it is very valid about the success of college to the pro's. Just because Jimmy Johnson did it - doesn't mean Urban Meyer will. I do think having been a HC at Bowling Green and Utah in addition to Florida and Ohio State helps his resume in my eyes. But yes, you have a fair point

I know this - based on Chargers history - experience as a head coach seems to matter in terms of success.

And if the Chargers had more success with less experienced coaches - maybe I would find Smith, Brady, Staley more appealing, even Saleh to a degree. But for the Chargers, history shows what it shows. The records of coaches speak for themselves

I am good with Daboll though for sure. Or Harbaugh. I think with Harbaugh and the right strategic moves this offseason (OL, DL, Special TEams) - this is an 11-12 win team.

they gave marty 5 million per year guaranteed but doubt he has spent that much on Turner, McCoy or Lynn.....

No he isn't. Dean may not want to pay the price but if forced to I don't think he'd have a hard time coming up with the money. He was savy enough to come up with the Stadium money can't imagine a fraction of that would be a issue.

LOL, you think Dean paid for that stadium?

Paying for a stadium is exactly what he did NOT do.

Obviously not all of it. He got a sweetheart deal. All I'm saying is his a billionaire of a NFL team not some bum.
