Meyer's former colleagues at Fox and from around the college football landscape have weighed in as well

Coach became a great friend the last two years. Coach is also one of the most competitive people I’ve ever been around and by far the greatest Leader I know! @CoachUrbanMeyer I’ll miss you brother. Best of Luck! @Jaguars

As always, plenty of talking heads have weighed in. Pete Prisco sees this as a franchise changing move, while Rob Parker questions Meyer's decision.

□@RobParkerFS1: "A guy of Urban Meyer's stature shouldn't have to take this also-ran job (Jaguars). Bad fan support, a small market, one game on 'Mars' every year...It's just not a great football situation." pic.twitter.com/5CRIQgdYmX
