Jaguars Analysis Football FILE - Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan is shown on the field before an NFL football game against the Miami Dolphins at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, Sunday, Oct. 17, 2021. If a 40-point drubbing at New England didn’t get Jacksonville owner Shad Khan’s full attention, then what’s being planned for the team's season finale just might. Frustrated fans are revolting against the Jaguars and have Khan in their crosshairs. It also wants temporary and permanent injunctive relief from the Jaguars using the RoofClaim brand. The deal guarantees the company a single-game spotlight in each of the four seasons, but the suit argues the Jaguars breached terms of the agreement.

The title sponsor for Jacksonville’s season finale against Indianapolis is suing the Jaguars in hopes of having its name disassociated from the game during which disgruntled fans are planning to dress as clowns to protest team owner Shad Khan’s decision to retain general manager Trent Baalke.

Tremon Smith returned a kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown, ending the longest drought in the NFL, and the Houston Texans beat woeful Jacksonville 30-16 on Sunday to end a three-game skid and extend their dominance in the series.

ESPN first reported Meyer being fired for cause. Owner Shad Khan dismissed Meyer early Thursday after weeks of analysis that focused on Meyer's mounting public blunders and even more missteps behind the scenes. That could make it tougher for Meyer to prove he was wrongly fired or should be owed the remainder of his contract. The Jaguars ended up firing Meyer early Thursday, hours after former kicker Josh Lambo accused Meyer of kicking him during an August practice. ___More AP NFL coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl and https://twitter.com/AP_NFLCopyright 2021 The Associated Press.

The Jaguars embraced the not-so-subtle changes that followed owner Shad Khan firing Meyer after a 2-11 start that included countless embarrassments on and off the field.

Urban Meyer's tenure as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars came to an end before he completed his first full NFL season. The former coach of the Florida Gators was ousted following a string of controversies that culminated in the accusation he kicked one of his players at practice. In the words of the Marleys in Muppet Christmas Carol, Meyer's time with the Jags was dumb and pointless, but at least it was short. And like Scrooge, plenty of people were willing to celebrate the downfall of such an obviously odious coach. Here are a few of our favorites.

The Jacksonville Jaguars traded popular backup quarterback Gardner Minshew to Philadelphia on Saturday for a conditional draft pick in 2022. The Jaguars received a sixth-round pick that would become a fifth-rounder if Minshew plays 50% of snaps in three games. He started 12 games in 2019, putting up better overall numbers than fellow rookies Kyler Murray and Daniel Jones and creating a “Minshew Mania” buzz around the city and parts of the country.
