JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars have fired head coach Urban Meyer, ending a tumultuous tenure with the franchise after only 13 games.

"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," owner Shad Khan said in a statement released early Thursday. "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.

The NFL players wanted to be treated like adults and with respect.

during the Titans game that Urban wouldn't be there long. Jags performance was among the worst I have ever seen at an NFL game.

The nickname "Urban Liar" is accurate too.

He promised his Buckeyes players that he'd get a Block-O tattoo if they won the national championship, but he never did it.

It's not like he couldn't get a small one on his back or somewhere else that's typically covered by clothing.

Bosa got on him a little bit for not keeping his word, but that was about it.

.... while sitting in a boat in 2020.

Then some shirtless guy in the room, reflected in a mirror behind Meyer, starts sucking a bong at about the 37-second mark of this Twitter video:
