Should Jaguars make annual $12M gamble on Urban Meyer? Here's why he has a shot in NFL.

The question the Jacksonville Jaguars should be asking isn’t whether Urban Meyer is worth a whopping $12 million per year to coach the team, as ProFootballTalk reports he is seeking.

It’s whether he is worthy of a golden opportunity to use the Jags’ considerable current resources — four top-50 draft picks, including the No. 1 overall, and some $81 million in salary-cap space — to reconstruct the roster on the fly.

If so, then even that much money doesn’t matter. (Meyer would be one of the highest-paid coaches in the league, although well behind Bill Belichick, who likely gets more than $20 million per year in New England.
