I didn't hear anything about Baalke pushing hard for Urban but if true, it makes sense Baalke could end up as the GM.  As others have said, I think Baalke / Urban would be disappointing.  I'd love for this team to built something that has staying power.  Whether it be similar to the Steelers, Ravens, etc... a culture from the top down that can be consistently good for a long time.  I'm sure Urban has the itch to know whether he can succeed at the highest level.  Even if successful, based on his history he won't be around for more then 4 or 5 years.  And if he struggles, he could bail even sooner.  

The most Jaguars-y thing that could happen is we hire someone with a massive ego like Urban who thinks he is the smartest guy in the room and they end up drafting Josh Fields because he fits Urban's scheme more.

Urban is weak. He'll use his heart as an excuse to bail at the first sign of trouble, just like hes always done. Even with Lawrence, I wont have any hope for the future if Urban is the HC of this team.

It would be the must Jags thing ever... Hiring Urban and then he probably would draft Fields over Lawrence. Wouldn't surprise me one bit
