SCOTT ♪ SCOTT.
♪ SCOTT. >> MARY CELESTE DESCRIBE WHAT
THE DAY HAS BEEN LIKE ALL
MORNING LONG WE’VE
BEEN DISCUSSING WILL IT BE
URBAN MEYER SO WE DON’T KNOW IF
HE’S IN THE STADIUM
HERE TONIGHT. BUT EARLIER
EARLIER THIS AFTERNOON AROUND
THE NOON HOUR OUT OF SEASON,
FEEL LET’S LOOK AT
THESE PICTURES. THESE ARE
IMAGES OF URBAN MEYER GETTING
OFF A
PRIVATE PLANE OUT AT CECIL
FIELD YOU NOTICE, HE’S WALKING
ALONG A LITTLE CARPET WITH THE
JAGUAR INSIGNIA
ON IT THEN FAST FORWARD A
COUPLE HOURS WE ARE ON STANDBY
OUR CAMERAS
ARE OUTSIDE T I A BANK FIELD
WHEN WE NOTICED WHAT APPEARED
TO BE THE SAME SUV GOT IN
AT CECIL.
>> PULLEN QUICKLY TO THE
STADIUM, BUT NO ONE IN THE BACK
SEAT, SO IT’S A LITTLE UNCLEAR
WAS THE INSIDE WAS HE NOT STILL
TRYING TO
DETERMINE THAT. SO NOW THE
QUESTION IS IS URBAN MEYER IN
FACT THE COACH. IT
APPEARS LIKELY. YOU KNOW WE
TALKED TO ABOUT THIS A MAN WHO
KNOWS HIM VERY WELL TIM TEBOW
WHO WAS THE QUARTERBACK UNDER
MEYER WHEN THEY WON A NATIONAL
CHAMPIONSHIP AND THE UNIVERSITY
OF FLORIDA. HE THINKS MEYER WOULD BE A GREAT CANDIDATE, EVEN THOUGH HE’S ONLY REALLY
COACHED IN COLLEGE.
>> I WOULD SAY WHAT DOES HE NOT
HAVE RIGHT. THIS IS A
GUY WHO’S IS A LEADER OF MEN HE BUILDS WINNING CULTURES, HE MAKES PEOPLE BELIEVE IN
THEMSELVES BELIEVE IN HIM
BELIEVE IN SOMETHING BIGGER.
HE’S NOT JUST SOMEONE THAT
BRINGS A SYSTEM.
>> SO LET’S DESCRIBE WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO THERE ARE A LOT OF
REPORTS CIRCULATING HE COULD BE
NEAR THE TOP IN THE LEAGUE, THE
ENTIRE NFL AROUND 12 MILLION A
YEAR IS ONE OF THE NUMBERS
THAT’S OUT THERE THAT PUTS HIM
ON PAR WITH ONLY ONE OTHER
COACH THAT’S BILL BELICHECK THE
HEAD COACH OF THE NEW ENGLAND
PATRIOTS IS CONSIDERED ONE OF
THE GREATEST NFL COACHES OF ALL
TIME SO IF THAT DOES PROVE TO
BE ACCURATE AFTER WE LEARN MORE
IF HE IN FACT IS THE GUY
THEY COULD BE PAYING THEIR
COACH HERE IN JACKSONVILLE MORE
THAN PRACTICALLY ANY COACH IN
THE LEAGUE WE’RE LIVE DOWNTOWN
OUTSIDE T I A BANK FIELD SCOTT
JOHNSON CHANNEL 4 THE LOCAL
STATION.

POSSIBILITY OF URBAN MEYER
COACHING THE JAGUARS AND HE
DOES THINK THAT MEYER WOULD BE
ABLE TO BRING A WINNING CULTURE
TO THE TEAM, HE JUST HOPES THAT
FANS WILL BE PATIENT.
>> I THINK IF THE JAGUARS FANS
ARE EXPECTING AND OVERNIGHT.
SUCCESS OR LISTEN,
WE DON’T. I THINK WE WE HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY HIT A HOME RUN WITH
A QUARTERBACK, I THINK WE HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO HIT A HOME
RUN WITH THE WITH THE
HEAD COACH. BUT THERE’S A LOT
OF DECISIONS THAT HAVE TO BE
MADE AND DEPENDING ON THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HEAD
COACH AND THE GM IS ABSOLUTELY
CRITICAL.
>> THIS IS DEFINITELY AN EXCITING TIME FOR JAGUARS FANS RIGHT NOW IN THE JAGUARS ARE
ALREADY SEEING SOME DIVIDENDS
FROM THAT FAN EXCITEMENT RIGHT
NOW THE TEAM HAS ALREADY SEEN A
5 TIMES INCREASED OF
SEASON-TICKET CONTRACTS THAN
THEY’VE SEEN IN YEARS PAST WITH
25% OF THAT COMING IN JUST THE
LAST 24 HOURS SO JAGUARS FANS
ARE REALLY EXCITED AND WITH THE
POSSIBILITY OF URBAN MEYER IN
THE GETTING TREVOR LAWRENCE
WITH THE NUMBER ONE OVERALL
DRAFT PICK. IT IS AN EXCITING
TIMEOU CAN’T BLAME JAGUARS
FANS FOR IT SO WE’LL HAVE TO
WAIT AND SEE THAT NEWS ON URBAN
MARKET COME AT ANY MOMENT, WE
