Urban Meyer fired by Jacksonville Jaguars 13 games into disastrous stint

• Jaguars fire Urban Meyer after 13 games, countless missteps
• Darrell Bevell will serve as interim head coach for 2-11 team

Urban Meyer's tumultuous NFL tenure ended after just 13 games - and two victories - when the Jacksonville Jaguars fired him early Thursday because of an accumulation of missteps.

Owner Shad Khan made the move hours after former Jaguars player Josh Lambo told a Florida newspaper Meyer kicked him during practice in August. It was the latest black eye - adding to an already lengthy list of embarrassments - for the three-time national championship-winning college coach who failed miserably to make the transition to the NFL.
