Twitter reacts to the Jags decision to fire Urban Meyer

Twitter has been a vocal place against Urban Meyer and his firing, of course, came with many interesting reactions. #Jaguars

It didn’t take a full season for the Jacksonville Jaguars to realize they made a mistake by hiring Urban Meyer, and after a year full of controversy under him, they fired him Thursday.

The decision came after several reports came out within the last few days on Meyer in addition to other incidents that occurred in 2021. The first of the recent reports was one from NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, which claimed Meyer challenged his assistants to defend their résumés while calling them “losers.” The report also mentioned an altercation with veteran receiver Marvin Jones Jr. where Jones let it be known that he didn’t appreciate Meyer’s criticisms of the receivers.

Then on Wednesday, there was a report from the Tampa Bay Times, where former kicker Josh Lambo claimed that Meyer kicked him during pregame warm-ups (in the preseason game against Dallas). Lambo then expressed to Meyer to not do it again, and the first-year coach then told him that he could do what he wanted.

Of course, the decision to fire Meyer caused several reactions on Twitter. Here are some of several as the Jags seemingly decided to start their head coaching search early:

Meyer’s career in the NFL only lasted for 13 regular season games. He registered a 2-11 season in the process with his only two victories coming against the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills.
