The Jacksonville Jaguars and Urban Meyer didn't have a good time together, and things got ugly on his way out of Jacksonville as their head coach.

Jaguars owner Shad Khan spoke with USA Today's Jarrett Bell and unleashed on former Jaguars head coach, Urban Meyer.

Khan said:

“When you lose the respect, the trust and an issue of truthfulness, how can you work with someone like that? It's not possible.”

“It was not about wins and losses. I think when you know someone is not truthful, how can you be around someone, OK? We had Doug Marrone here four years. We had Gus Bradley here four years. I have nothing but the utmost respect and friendship with them. That’s why they got the time, because it wasn’t a matter about respect or truth. It was a matter of wins and losses over four years. This is much bigger than that.”

During his time in Jacksonville, Meyer had many bad incidents that caused controversy or a distraction to the team.

During Meyer's tenure, the Jaguars hired Chris Doyle, a strength and conditioning coach who was riddled with controversy from his time in college football at Iowa. Meyer and the Jaguars fired him amid backlash.

Another thing that Meyer did that made many people shake their heads was sign Tim Tebow to try out at tight end. That experiment failed, and he never made the team.

Meyer also reportedly called certain players losers at practice, kicked former kicker Josh Lambo, and had a video of himself dancing at a bar go viral, among many other mishaps during his time in Jacksonville.
