After only 13 games, the Jacksonville Jaguars of the US Professional Football League NFL have fired their head coach Urban Meyer.

Munich (SID) – After only 13 games, the Jacksonville Jaguars of the US professional football league NFL have fired their head coach Urban Meyer. The successful college coach’s ongoing problems off the field were his undoing. Sportingly, the Florida club around number one drafted quarterback Trevor Lawrence stands at a record of 2:11 wins.

“I am bitterly disappointed that after several weeks of consultation and thorough analysis of Urban’s entire tenure with our team, I have had to conclude that an immediate change is imperative for everyone,” club owner Shahid Khan announced. Meyer had failed to “regain our trust and respect”.

Meyer had been in the twilight since the beginning of the season. Among other things, he hired an athletics coach who is accused of racism, and he caused a stir when he was filmed in a bar with a woman who was not his wife. In addition, there were permanent arguments with players and coaches. Meyer is said to have called his assistants “losers”.

The decision to fire him was made on Wednesday after the latest fracas. Former Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo had told the New York Times that Meyer had kicked him at practice. “When I told him not to kick me, he just said, ‘I’ll kick whoever I want’ and walked away,” he reported.
