Jacksonville Jaguars Fire Head Coach Urban Meyer After Kicking Controversy

December 16, 2021

After months of highly-criticized controversies — coupled with plenty of embarrassing defeats — the Jacksonville Jaguars have fired head coach Urban Meyer, who went 2-11 in his first year in the NFL. The final straw for Meyer came Wednesday, when former team kicker Josh Lambo claimed that in August, Meyer came to him during practice, kicked him in the leg, and told him, "Hey dip----, make your f---ing kicks!" After Lambo told Meyer not to kick him, Meyer told Lambo that he's the head ball coach and can kick him "whenever the f--- I want." Meyer's time with Jacksonville brought steep lows no one could have expected, from hiring a coach accused of racist remarks and bullying to being intimate with a young woman at his restaurant the day after a loss. Owner Shad Khan — who said he was "bitterly disappointed" to come to the conclusion a change was needed — announced offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell will take over as interim head coach, while general manager Trent Baalke will remain in his position.
