27th season in franchise history
The 2021 season was the Jacksonville Jaguars ' 27th season in the National Football League . This was their first and only under head coach Urban Meyer and first under general manager Trent Baalke .
Jacksonville had the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft , which they used to select Trevor Lawrence . The Jaguars came into the season with a 15-game losing streak from the last season which continued this season as the Jaguars started 0–5, before defeating the Miami Dolphins 23–20 in London . To date, the 2020–21 Jaguars' 20-game losing streak is the third longest losing streak in NFL history, after the 1976–77 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (26) and 1942–45 Chicago Cardinals (29). The Jaguars improved from their 1–15 record from the previous season with a Week 9 win over the Buffalo Bills , but were eliminated from postseason contention for the fourth straight year after a Week 14 loss to the Tennessee Titans . With the Detroit Lions' 37-30 victory over the Packers in Week 18, the Jaguars clinched the first overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft , the second year in a row they had the top pick in the draft, making them the first team since the Cleveland Browns in 2017 and 2018 to have the top picks in back-to-back drafts.[ 1]
On December 16, after less than a year and following repeated scandals involving the team, Meyer was fired as head coach and replaced with Darrell Bevell for the remainder of the season.[ 2] [ 3]
Season summary
The team was criticized by the media following repeated scandals involving the team, with head coach Urban Meyer the most caught up in multiple scandals. During the offseason, some of Meyer's staff hires and free agent signings received backlash. In February, former Iowa strength coach Chris Doyle , who had left that job due to allegations of racism and bullying players, was hired as the Jaguars' strength coach before fan backlash led to him resigning one day later.[ 4] Florida and NFL quarterback Tim Tebow as a tight end was criticized as a publicity grab,[ 5] [ 6] [ 7]
In October, a video surfaced appearing to show Meyer inappropriately touching a woman who was not his wife while he was at his Columbus-area restaurant, Urban Meyer's Pint House, following a loss to the Cincinnati Bengals . Jaguars owner Shahid Khan said that Meyer's behavior had been "inexcusable" and that Meyer "must regain our trust and respect". Meyer later apologized to the team and personnel.[ 8]
Meyer was also criticized for benching running back James Robinson during losses to the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams .[ 9] [ 10]
The tension surrounding the team got worse in December 2021, when Jaguars players and coaches were critical of Meyer's treatment of them, to which the team officially responded with assertions of Meyer's job security.[ 11] Marvin Jones got into a heated argument where Jones left the Jaguars facility. Jones returned to the facility when other staff members convinced Jones to come back, only to get into another argument with Meyer at practice.[ 12] [ 13] [ 14]
Meyer also reportedly called his assistant coaches "losers" and that he was a "winner" and challenged assistants to defend their resumes.[ 12] Shahid Khan met with players, members of the team's business department and coaches, including Meyer following the Jaguars loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 14.[ 15]
On December 15, 2021, former Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo alleged that Meyer kicked him in the leg during a practice in the week before the Jaguars' final preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys . According to Lambo, Meyer also shouted at him, "Hey dipshit, make your fucking kicks." (Lambo had missed a field goal in each of the previous two preseason games.) After Lambo told Meyer never to kick him again, Meyer responded, "I’m the head ball coach, I’ll kick you whenever the fuck I want."[ 16]
Urban Meyer was fired on December 16, 2021 finishing his tenure with the Jaguars with a 2–11 (.154) record. Darrell Bevell was named interim head coach for the remainder of the season.[ 2] Trevor Lawrence criticized the drama affecting the team in a press conference, without naming Meyer.[ 17]
