Urbs ain't going anywhere,  lol.

Meyer addressed this at length in the postgame press conference yesterday. The Marvin Jones incident is not true. 
He did admit to getting on his coaches. He did not give specifics as to how he addressed them, but should he not get on them? I’m not defending any words he may have said, but the fact of the matter is if a component of the team is performing subpar, the coaches should be held accountable. 

Too many folks are getting red-faced and spittle-flecked about inaccurate “reports” of Meyer’s situation. Yes, we suck. No, there appears to be no light at the end of the tunnel. Is Meyer the long term solution? Right now it appears not. 

However, one thing is for sure, there’s a lot of so called ‘sports journalists’ out there who are promulgating inaccurate and downright false stories in an attempt to capitalize on the Jaguars’s historically abysmal record and its angry fans for click$. It’s bad enough we suck so bad, don’t let speculation on Twitter drive-bys and half [BLEEP] reporting stoke it up to a froth.

This is an absolute dumpster fire. I feel like you took two steps forward yesterday but just took 3 steps back. Urban is gone and it may be this week.

Nope. He’s here till next season.

It is horribly suspect that the only voice opposing any negative press is Urban. Nobody speaking up to say that the media is fabricating stories of Jones walking out, or arguing, or coaches supporting their boss for his way of reflecting on his past success as a way to establish dominance over his underlings. The fact of the matter is for the past year, there has been not one thing that Meyer has done to make any person doubt the veracity of any of theses stories, rumors, anecdotes, call them what you will. 

I agree with you that if left solely to Shad, he may let Urban have another year. However, I think that the media, assistants and locker room combined may influence his decision. The players didn't make the hire nor did they put together the contract that the coach signed, but they are left to deal with the mess the owner's choice is making. Shad chose to give him an insanely generous offer to come here and lead this team. If Urban is failing to lead or meet expectation, it's on Shad to make the tough choice to either stick with the guy who continues to destroy the team from within or put egg on his own face and admit failure.

If he keeps him around another year, we may not have anything left to salvage.
