Urban Meyer was the talk of this past weekend after NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero shared a damning report about incidents he had with both players and coaches over the recent weeks. With more than enough distractions in the way, the Jacksonville Jaguars also didn’t have the best week on the field, falling to their most despised rivals in the Tennessee Titans by a score of 20-0.
However, the drama has leaked into this week, too, after the Tampa Bay Times released a report of their own where former Jags kicker Josh Lambo claims that Meyer kicked him on the leg (and called him out of his name) during the Jags’ last preseason game in Dallas. According to Lambo, it was a tactic to get the struggling kicker to perform better.
Lambo also claimed that the first-year head coach told him that he could do whatever he wanted as the team’s head coach after the veteran told him not to ever do it again. Of course, the reactions of fans and reporters of the NFL community chimed in on the allegations, expressing their displeasure with what was said in the report.
Here are some of many reactions that came as a result of Rick Stroud’s report:
Urban Meyer has enough problems for his own remix of 12 Days of Christmas.

Keep Urban Meyer around for the remainder of the year. His stories and leaks are the only thing about the Jaguars that make me smile anymore.

Matt Nagy is not a good NFL head coach, and I don’t think that’s up for debate.
That said, he is a good person and shouldn’t be compared to Urban Meyer under any circumstances. Meyer is insurmountably worse than Nagy. #Bears

Right now on @1010XL: “Josh [Lambo] is very passionate about this incident. He just feels like there is a lot of bullying going on by Urban Meyer right now. He was a victim of it.” —@NFLSTROUD#Jaguars

Seriously, how much more Urban drama can Shad Khan stand? What else is going to come out tomorrow, Friday, Saturday, etc.? #Jaguars

For context purposes, keep in mind #Jaguars have known about Lambo incident for more than 3 months because his agent, Richard Irvin, reported it and it went to team legal counsel. So it's not like Lambo speaking to TB Times was a total blind-side ambush. A surprise, maybe.

Put Lambo in the Pride if it does what we need it to do.

I mean, seriously? In what world can an organization tolerate having its head coach acting this way? Good on @JoshLambo for speaking up, disappointed this happened to him https://t.co/j9N3qDUxEd pic.twitter.com/g4D8pWSgzE
