- Jaguars fire Urban Meyer after 13 games, countless missteps
- Darrell Bevell will serve as interim head coach for 2-11 team
Urban Meyer’s tumultuous NFL tenure ended after just 13 games – and two victories – when the Jacksonville Jaguars fired him early Thursday because of an accumulation of missteps.
Owner Shad Khan made the move hours after former Jaguars player Josh Lambo told a Florida newspaper Meyer kicked him during practice in August. It was the latest black eye – adding to an already lengthy list of embarrassments – for the three-time national championship-winning college coach who failed miserably to make the transition to the NFL.
