I think many of us saw this coming for awhile. Apparently the Jags had hired top notch law firms to prepare a case against Myer after his incident at The Pint House.
Meyer signed a five-year deal with the Jag's that is estimated to be worth $10 to $12 million annually.
The NFL appears to be silently standing behind the Jag's as Goodell wants to keep Shad Khan an NFL owner, given league plans to expand presence in the UK and beyond. Kahn apparently has been exploring selling the Jag's after the roller coaster ride of his tenure
Jacksonville Jaguars say former coach Urban Meyer fired for cause, don't intend to pay rest of contract.
From Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington
"The Jacksonville Jaguars fired former coach Urban Meyer for cause, sources told ESPN on Saturday, with the intention of not paying him the remaining four years of his contract.
A source within the organization said the Jaguars' reasons for withholding the remaining guarantees are not tied to one specific incident -- but rather a cumulation of instances that Jacksonville's officials believe justified the firing.
It is not unusual for situations like these -- involving negated guarantees -- to later be negotiated by the two sides to avoid a prolonged legal situation. It will be up to the lawyers involved in any negotiation between the Jaguars and Meyer to try to figure out if they can resolve the situation."

The Jaguars don't intend to pay the remainder of Urban Meyer's four-year contract, as the team says it had cause to fire the coach, sources told ESPN's Jeff Darlington and Adam Schefter.
