Social Media Reacts to Jaguars Firing Urban Meyer Before Finishing First Season

Urban Meyer is no longer the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. The announcement of Meyer being fired was made on Thursday morning and comes after Meyer was hired by the team in January. Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell will serve as the interim head coach for the Jaguars for the remainder of the season.

The firing comes after the Jaguars lost to the Tenessee Titans 20-0 to drop their record to 2-11 on the season. And while not winning games played a big role in Meyer's firing, it was also the culture he developed that rubbed nearly everyone the wrong way. It was reported that Meyer called out his assistant coaches and players, leading to wide receiver Marvin Jones getting into a heated argument with him before leaving the facility. Additionally, Meyer took a lot of heat for being spotted in Ohio with a woman who is not his wife following a Jaguars loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. 

"After deliberation over many weeks and a thorough analysis of the entirety of Urban's tenure with our team, I am bitterly disappointed to arrive at the conclusion that an immediate change is imperative for everyone," Jaguars owner Shad Khan said in a statement Thursday morning. "I informed Urban of the change this evening. As I stated in October, regaining our trust and respect was essential. Regrettably, it did not happen." Here's a look at social media reacting to the news of Meyer being fired.
