Jaguars players reportedly 'aren't sad' to see HC Urban Meyer fired

Urban Meyer's tumultuous 11-month tenure as the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars officially came to a close early Thursday morning and multiple players on the team are reportedly far from devastated with the news.

The former Florida and Ohio State football coaching legend was hired as the Jaguars head coach in January and was engulfed in scandal after scandal, essentially from the start of his run.

In October, a viral video that showed a young woman dancing suggestively against Meyer's leg at an Ohio bar was released. This came days after it was learned that Meyer did not fly home with his team from Cincinnati following a loss to the Bengals, a defeat that dropped the Jags to 0-4 at the time.

Most recently on Wednesday, former kicker Josh Lambo came forward with an allegation that Meyer not only bulled him, but kicked him during a practice earlier this season. On top of all of the off-the-field scandals, Jacksonville struggled just as much on the field this year.

Entering Week 15, the Jaguars are tied for the second-worst record in the NFL at 2-11 and have already been eliminated from playoff contention.
