Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer is having arguably the worst season any NFL coach has had in recent memory. Not only is his team 2-11 on the year, but all of his off-the-field issues are making it hard for the Jaguars front office to keep him after this season.

We all know about Meyer’s drunken night when he was caught on video groping a young blonde. Most coaches would have trouble surviving that scandal, but he has seen his #1 overall pick quarterback play like he doesn’t belong in the league, he is having shouting matches with his veteran wide receivers and was caught telling all of his assistant coaches that they were losers.

What can Urban Meyer do to survive the season and coach the Jaguars going forward?

The Jaguars currently have the 30th ranked offense and are last (or next to last) in turnover differential on both offense and defense. They have better defensive rankings, but due to the offense giving the opposing team great field position, those rankings are a little inflated.

The Jaguars have dealt with injuries on offense since Spring Training. They lost first round draft pick RB Travis Etienne for the season in the preseason and start WR D.J. Chark injured his ankle and was lost for the season early in the year. It also didn’t help that the Jaguars didn’t hit free agency very hard and their offensive depth just isn’t there.

Meyer will have roughly $60 million dollars left on his contract after this season. That could be the only thing that will keep him on the job. It will be cheaper to change his assistants, trade some of their veterans to get draft capital and go all-in on a rebuild. They need to hit offensive linemen hard in free agency and the draft to protect QB Trevor Lawrence. It also wouldn’t hurt if they targeted at least one elite wide receiver to give Lawrence more weapons. Meyer can survive with a bad defense, but no NFL head coach can survive if you’re scoring single-digits.
