Darrell Bevell gets another interim head coaching job after Urban Meyer fired

We’re far from knowing whether the Detroit Lions’ hiring of Dan Campbell will work out in the long-term, but before his first season is through, we do know he wasn’t the worst hiring of the 2021 cycle.

That honor belongs to the Jacksonville Jaguars’ hiring of Urban Meyer, who was unceremoniously fired on Wednesday night/Thursday morning, after a myriad of scandals. He had reportedly completely lost the locker room, called his own coaching staff a bunch of losers, and it appears the straw the broke the camel’s back was a former Jaguars kicker revealing that Meyer literally kicked him at practice for missing field goals in the preseason.
