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

With the unanimous approval of the San Jose Planning Commission last month, Google’s Downtown West development took a major step forward. This week, with the signing of Senate Bill 7, helping to speed along projects like this, Gov. Gavin Newsom moved the project’s prospects along — both further and faster. Now, this Tuesday, at the vote by the City Council, we stand at the precipice of possibility and potential. Ahmad Thomas is CEO of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group. (Dai… Source link

Since taking the job as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Urban Meyer talked, both publicly and privately, about how he knew he was now working in the NFL, not in the fiefdoms of Ohio State or Florida. His players are now adults, not college kids. They have obligations, families, agents, contracts and experience. They also often have the confidence and power to voice their concerns and opinions. Teams have to be something of a partnership these days, not merely a dictatorship. And it’s… 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

ProFootball Talk on NBC Sports Chase Claypool calls the Browns “classless” Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool says the Browns were “super classless” during Super Wild Card Weekend. Extending a war of words that started when Claypool predicted the Browns will lose to the Chiefs and continued with Browns linebacker Sione Takitaki calling Claypool “salty about losing,” Claypool weighed in about the Browns again today. “If the [more] Source link

The question the Jacksonville Jaguars should be asking isn’t whether Urban Meyer is worth a whopping $12 million per year to coach the team, as ProFootballTalk reports he is seeking. It’s whether he is worthy of a golden opportunity to use the Jags’ considerable current resources — four top-50 draft picks, including the No. 1 overall, and some $81 million in salary-cap space — to reconstruct the roster on the fly. If so, then even that much money doesn’t matter. (Meyer would be one… Source link

Urban Meyer’s name shot through the NFL stratosphere on Sunday after an ESPN report indicated at least two NFL franchises made initial contact about him being their next head coach. Meyer becoming an NFL coach could become a reality over the next 10 days or so, as sources confirmed to Yahoo Sports that there has been outreach by multiple franchises to gauge Meyer’s interest. The news broke on a day when Jacksonville solidified itself as perhaps the NFL’s most intriguing destination, as Source link
