Urban Meyer Knows What He’s Getting Into in Jacksonville

I think Urban Meyer, who is close to wrapping up a deal with the Jaguars, knows what he’s getting himself into.

I think he understands he won’t get the equivalent of 15 first-round picks every four years or so, the way he did at Florida and Ohio State, which allowed him to stack the deck and make it impossible for 90% of his competition to run with him. I think he gets that losing five games in a year is a good season in the NFL, coming from an environment where a single loss can essentially be season-ending (see: 2009 Florida, ’15 and ’18 Ohio State).
