Seems the Jaguars are following the Vol's example

Urban quit the Gators cause he was sick. Quit OSU cause he was sick. I figured he was working on a mental illness in JAX. I feel sorry for The Jags, no sorrow at all for Fl or OSU.

Brother, you have just been hit by the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon.

Look it up. It is interesting. And is 100% what just happened to you.

[hint: Tennessee wasn't setting any new precedent, and the Jaguars' decision likely had absolutely nothing to do with a "Tennessee example"]

Thanks JP, I looked it up. Never knew it had a name but I readily admit I've been hit by it a number of times. I'm now a little bit smarter.

Yeah, man. I think we all get hit by it at times. It's a very human thing, particularly since identifying patterns and trying to make sense of what they might mean is so deeply a part of how our minds work. *thumbsup*

The Bureau of Labor Statistics of the US Dept of Labor surveyed the work force in 2016 and found that about 54,000 employees were fired or laid off that year in the United States, which we can take as fairly typical.

Perhaps 10%-15% of those firings invoked a "for cause" clause of the employee's contract. Say a range of 5,000 to 8,000.

That's 5,000 to 8,000 examples, each and every year, of a firing for cause. And you think it was specifically Jeremy Pruitt's firing that inspired the lawyers and HR department of the Jacksonville Jaguars to decide to use the clause in Urban Meyer's contract?

Brother, you have experienced Baader-Meinhoff. "For cause" got placed in your active awareness by the Pruitt firing, and now you've seen a second example, and you come to the mistaken conclusion that the two are somehow linked.

They almost certainly are not. :)

For God's sake, you are gonna compare a labor study on the workforce to football coaches? This is a different animal! Come on, man.

I kinda agree on both sides here, Pruitt job as head of the coaching"staff" ,or the labour he was paid to do if you will, was to teach young men to play winning football, not go 3-7 and still get caught cheating, so fired for cause. On the other hand, Meyer cheated on his wife with a college woman allegedly, and was fired for cause BECAUSE nobody in Tennessee likes him anyway! Make cents?$!

They should sue him for his paid salary back. CSS struggled in the NFL because the game is different. CUM struggled because he is a ****ing jackass.
