According to sources, the Jacksonville Jaguars fired Urban Meyer for cause, with the intention of not paying him the remaining four years of his contract.
A source within the organization said that the reasons for withholding the remaining guarantees are not tied to one specific incident, but rather a culmination of instances that Jacksonville's officials believe justified the firing.
It's not unusual for situations like this to be negotiated by the two sides to avoid a lengthy legal situation. It will be up to the lawyers involved in the negotiation to figure out if they can resolve the situation.
A spokesman for Khan told The Associated Press on Friday that the decision to part ways with Meyer was made after Jacksonville's 20-0 loss at Tennessee on Sunday. Khan had been considering a decision for weeks after he and Meyer had a conversation in the locker room after the game.
The spokesman told the AP that the final announcement was delayed due to other planned events, but that it had nothing to do with Josh Lambo's accusation that Meyer kicked him. Hours before the Jaguars announced Meyer's firing, Lambo's story came out.
The 11-month tenure of Meyer included controversial videos showing the former coach acting in a way that was inappropriate with a woman at a restaurant after he stayed behind to watch a game.
