Trevor Lawrence has had 25 NFL starts. Before that, he had 40 starts at Clemson, a big-time college program. That’s plenty of high-level football. A year and a half in the NFL isn’t enough to know exactly what a player is, but it’s a decent look at him. And what we’ve seen from Lawrence isn’t what we thought we’d be seeing when he was as hyped as any prospect over the last 10 years. Lawrence still has time to develop, and the Jacksonville Jaguars will give him as much time as reasonably… Source link

There were countless stories out of the Jacksonville Jaguars surrounding Urban Meyer’s disastrous tenure, but perhaps the most fascinating was the tidbit that Meyer didn’t know who Aaron Donald was. Most anyone with an interest in pro football knows Donald, the Los Angeles Rams star defensive tackle who has an argument as the best player in all of football. It’s mind-blowing to think an NFL head coach didn’t know him. A report from The Athletic in March, citing a source, said Meyer asked a… Source link

The school first mentioned a death in an on-campus residence on Tuesday, but did not release a name until family had been notified. It did not give a cause of… Source link

There’s at least one thing in Urban Meyer’s life that lasted a shorter amount of time than his stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Urban Chophouse, a steakhouse in Columbus, will be sold and rebranded, according to Ben Koo of Awful Announcing. The restaurant, which opened in May, is being sold to Shawn Shahnazi, a local restaurant owner. As part of the rebrand, Meyer’s name will be taken off the restaurant. Shahnazi will also hire a new chef and rework the menu. The restaurant got decent… Source link

Former Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo says that head coach Urban Meyer called him derogatory terms and kicked him at practice prior to his release from the team early this season.  Lambo told his account to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times in a story published on Wednesday. The alleged incident occurred during a preseason practice after Lambo had missed field goals in two preseason games. “I’m in a lunge position,” Lambo told the Times. “Left leg forward, right leg back. …… Source link

Urban Meyer has struggled adapting to NFL life, and the Jacksonville Jaguars head coach especially has been at odds with his new city’s motto: “It’s easier here.” Nothing, it turns out, has been easy this season for the Jags or for Meyer. But has Meyer done enough to help his own cause? On Sunday morning came an explosive report from NFL media that indicated Meyer has called out his assistant coaches in an embarrassing fashion in front of the team and also had a heated exchange with wide… 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

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

A few weeks back, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell got a call out of the blue from Urban Meyer, the coach who recruited him and coached him at Ohio State. Meyer didn’t mince words, telling Campbell he had opportunities to coach in the NFL and wanted his opinion on how his coaching style and culture would work on that level. Campbell told his former coach two things about his transition to the NFL. “No. 1, I’m worried about his health,” Campbell told Yahoo Sports in a… Source link
