The Jacksonville Jaguars have no intention of paying Urban Meyer another dime. The team reportedly fired Meyer for cause, suggesting they don’t want to pay out the rest of Meyer’s contract, according to Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington of ESPN. The Jaguars fired Meyer on Wednesday after just 13 games. Meyer’s tenure with the franchise was mired by various embarrassing gaffes, the last of which involved allegations Meyer kicked his kicker. There wasn’t one specific instance that led to the… Source link

Update: Meyer has been fired. For three years, Trevor Lawrence starred for one of the most stable programs in college football. Clemson went 34-2 with Lawrence under center, winning a national championship in 2018 and ACC Player of the Year honors in 2020. There were week-to-week challenges and some College Football Playoff disappointments, but there was little doubt as to the competence of head coach Dabo Swinney and his staff.  Oh, how things have changed for Lawrence, currently starting for… Source link

The best lie the NFL ever told is that the league is a meritocracy. For the players? Sure, most of them at least. But anyone else? Heck no. Not for head coaches, unless you think it’s just a happy coincidence nearly a third of this year’s group is of blood relation to another current or former coach. Not for assistant coaches, who usually get their jobs because of who they’re related to or whose father they married or who they worked with two or three stops previous. And it absolutely,… Source link

Urban Meyer’s career as an NFL head coach has basically devolved into the old joke about Russian history: “And then, things got worse.” In a week that started with Meyer already on possibly the hottest seat in the NFL, the Jacksonville Jaguars reacted to a mid-week, off-field embarrassment with another on-field embarrassment, this time a 20-0 shutout loss to the Tennessee Titans. The Titans might have still been missing their most important weapons in Derrick Henry and A.J. Brown, but it was… Source link

Say what you will about Trevor Lawrence during a mostly trying season, but the Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback still isn’t afraid to speak his mind. Lawrence made some ripples before the season when he said he didn’t feel the need to manufacture motivation for himself. Then he earned some raised eyebrows in October when he semi-questioned his coaches’ reservations about his QB-sneaking ability. Now Lawrence is speaking his mind again, this time sticking up for a teammate.  Running back… Source link

The Jacksonville Jaguars are 0-2, and it hasn’t exactly been an encouraging 0-2. The team has been outscored 60-34 and outgained 847-584. Trevor Lawrence, the generational quarterback prospect whom the Jaguars have bet their entire future on, has thrown 42-of-84 for 450 yards, four touchdowns and five interceptions. Head coach Urban Meyer is somehow under investigation by the NFLPA for telling the truth. The Jaguars have looked like a bad football team, as many expected. So far, the fans Source link

It’s still the honeymoon — literally and figuratively — for the recently married Trevor Lawrence as he embarks on his Jacksonville Jaguars career, and life is pretty good right now. Yes, the expectations are high, as Lawrence is the favorite to win AP Offensive Rookie of the Year at +275 with BetMGM, but he has yet to hit his first roadblock in the NFL. Nonetheless, we were excited to catch up with Lawrence for a few minutes Tuesday night to ask him about his maiden voyage. He joined… Source link

When the entirety of Urban Meyer’s first coaching staff with the Jacksonville Jaguars was unveiled on Thursday, one name immediately jumped out — especially to those who closely follow college football. Chris Doyle, the longtime head strength coach at the University of Iowa, will serve as Jacksonville’s Director of Sports Performance. It’s Doyle’s first job since he and Iowa parted ways back in June under tumultuous circumstances, including allegations of racism. Doyle was the… Source link
