Report: Urban Meyer Loses Grievance over Jags' Firing
The ruling lets Jacksonville keep more than $30 million after an arbitrator upheld Meyer’s firing for cause, according to Brett McMurphy.
- The Jacksonville Jaguars won their arbitration case against Urban Meyer, with arbitrators upholding the team's decision to fire him "for cause."
- Meyer's firing stemmed from a December report that he kicked kicker Josh Lambo during practice, prompting the team to terminate him "for cause" less than 24 hours later.
- During arbitration, punter Logan Cooke and Lambo testified for the team. Lambo stated: "Truthfully, I'd register it as a five . Which in the workplace, the boss can't strike an employee."
- Meyer attempted to collect over $30 million remaining on his contract. Jacksonville owner Shad Khan will now retain those funds instead of paying the former coach.
- Meyer's 11-month tenure ended with a 2-11 record. The Jaguars have since thrived under Doug Pederson and Liam Coen, winning the AFC South in consecutive seasons.
