The Jaguars have lost 11 out of their first 13 games under Urban Meyer, and tensions are reportedly boiling over between the first-year head coach and his players.
One of the most public debacles involved star running back James Robinson, who hasn’t played more than 52% of offensive snaps over the past two games including a six-carry, 4-yard effort in Sunday’s 20-0 shutout loss to the Titans.
In another reported instance, free-agent addition and wide receiver Marvin Jones became so angry with Meyer’s criticism of the receivers that he left the facility until other staff members convinced him to return.
Following the Jaguars’ loss to the Titans, Meyer denied there was ever a confrontation with Jones and that he called his assistants “losers,” per Albert Breer of the MMQB.
The former Ohio State coach embarrassed the Jaguars in October when he was filmed getting a bit too friendly with a young woman at a restaurant on their bye week.
CBS Sports NFL insider Jason La Canfora even reports that general manager Trent Baalke has become a “strong proponent” of assistant head coach/inside linebackers coach Charlie Strong should ownership part ways with Meyer after just one season.
