And as far as recruiting, he's second to no one.

I agree...but it is about ego. After a few years, they are worth north of $20m. by the time you do salary, endorsement,s and paid personal appearances. After that, what is your next life's challenge? LIfe is weird. In one way, you have to be happy with what you've done but that leads to complacency. So you have to strive to do more, but that can lead to failure.
The word out of Pittsburgh is Urban wanted vocal 'rah rah' types in Jacksonville which didn't fit Schobert's style, and opted for another LB. For some reason, Pittsburgh seems to have difficulty drafting ILBs.Is he following the Bill Obrien trade away your best players and get fired mantra? As as Steelers fan, I'd like to thank him. Let me know when TL is available for a couple for second rounders.
"The Jacksonville Jaguars had a bunch of holes to fill and gladly said, Yes, we’ll pay Joe Schobert what he’s worth. The Jags inked Schobert to a five-year, $53,750,000 deal ($18.850 million APY) ahead of the 2020 season.
Handsomely paid, Schobert posted one of his best years as a pro and finished the season fourth in the NFL in total tackles with 141 (six for loss). He also contributed six quarterback hits, 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and three interceptions. Schobert’s Week 13 pick of Minnesota Vikings’ Kirk Cousins was returned 43 yards for a score.
While Schobert, 27, was the best free-agent signing the Jaguars made in the 2020 offseason, he wasn’t head coach Urban Meyer’s boy. But what’s Jacksonville’s loss is the Pittsburgh Steelers’ gain. His leadership, knowledge, experience, and tackling prowess should make the interior line a force to be reckoned with — especially if Devin Bush can stay healthy and improve his game."
3 stellar facts about newest Steelers LB Joe Schobert
The Pittsburgh Steelers got the boost they needed on the interior defensive line with the recent acquisition of Pro Bowler Joe Schobert. Since Schobert was drafted by the enemy and traded from down…
He did. Saban told him to go so Urban would be out of college football for a few more years. Less competition for Saban.
Just fake another life-threatening illness and join Fox for a year where he can bore audiences with his lack of charisma, then move onto another coaching job. Rinse, repeatTIFWIW
Urban Meyer era begins amid tumult and discord, and Jaguars morale has already suffered
Meyer has everyone looking over their shoulders in Jacksonville
I think it's going to be one and done for UM in the NFL, he hates to lose and I don't see them winning too many games. He's probably already talked to USC.
Please create a poll as to the “ailment” that will “cause” this departure…
If we had a dollar for every post about UM on this board, we'd be close to 35 million!
I much prefer CJF's approach over UM. One can disagree with his demeaner, his character or whatever they want to try to punch holes in. But UM can coach football with the best that ever lived.
Hopefully it continues and he bolts for U$C finally putting an end to the Franklin to U$C soap opera.
Maybe it’s as simple as loving the coaching aspect of the job while hating the recruiting part.
He seems to like poaching PSU coaches unfortunately. That does speak well of our staff.
i don't think so, Urban was a arguably the best recruiter of all time. Somebody like O'Brien openly admitted he didn't like the recruiting side a lot. Never heard anything like that from Urban.
