This time last year, there was a lot of uncertainty about what to expect from the Jacksonville Jaguars in Year 1 under Urban Meyer with a rookie quarterback under center in Trevor Lawrence. But no one expected that the team would be searching for a new head coach just one year later.
Meyer’s time with the Jags was nothing short of a disaster. It began with the legendary college coach hiring Chris Doyle, who had been fired from Iowa after allegations of racism toward players came to light, as his strength coach. Doyle turned in his resignation shortly after the franchise received massive backlash, but the negative headlines continued into the season.
After a loss to the Bengals in Cincinnati in Week 4, Meyer became the center of attention after a video at a bar in Columbus showed him inappropriately touching a woman who was not his wife. Meyer had stayed behind while the team flew back to Jacksonville.
