Why Jacksonville Should Fire Urban Meyer At the End of the Year

In the video above, Chris Broussard & Rob Parker react to reports from over the weekend about the drama within the Jacksonville Jaguars between Urban Meyer and his assistant coaches.

According to the NFL's sources, here's what's gone down the last two weeks:

-Receiver Marvin Jones-- one of the locker room's most respected and mild-mannered veterans -- became so angry with Meyer's public and private criticism of the receiver group that he left the facility until other staff members convinced him to come back and had a heated argument with Meyer during practice.
-During a staff meeting, Meyer delivered a biting message that he's a winner and his assistant coaches are losers, according to several people informed of the contents of the meeting, challenging each coach individually to explain when they've ever won and forcing them to defend their résumés.
-Contrary to his public statements that it was injury-related, Meyer ordered Robinson's benching after an opening-drive fumble in last week's 37-7 road loss to the Rams, then had running backs coach Bernie Parmalee stop Robinson from re-entering the game, insisting Carlos Hyde (who played for Meyer at Ohio State) stay in. Only after Lawrence questioned Meyer on the sideline about Robinson's absence was Robinson allowed to return late in the second quarter.

With this information out there and some of the questionable decisions Urban Meyer has made, which includes: attempting to hire a coach with a checkered past, giving Tim Tebow an opportunity at the tight end position, and going viral for having too good of a time with a woman other than his wife at a bar, Meyer has had a rough first year coaching at the NFL level. This, of course, includes a less than stellar win/lost record at two wins and 11 losses.

Rob Parker has seen enough to advise Jaguars owner Shad Khan to let Urban Meyer go:

Rob Parker: "If I'm Khan, I would fire Urban Meyer at the end of the year. Nothing has gone right. We already know what's happening on the field, which is bad. There's no progress, they're not getting better, and Trevor Lawrence is regressing. Think about what he did when he started! His whole tenure from day one has been bad."
