Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer is once again in hot water.

The NFL Network reported that tension between Meyer and Jaguars players and coaches has reached a new level in recent weeks, which could mean the head coach will be on his way out of Jacksonville after just one season.

Jaguars owner Shad Khan isn’t considering making a change anytime soon. However, Meyer has reportedly made public comments to players and fellow coaches blaming them for the team’s 2-10 start to the season.

In the past two weeks, Meyer reportedly had a heated argument with wide receiver Marvin Jones during practice following the coach’s public and private criticism of receivers.

Meyer gave a "biting message" to the team that "he's a winner" and "his assistant coaches are losers," the NFL Network reported, citing several people who were informed of content discussed during a meeting. Meyer reportedly challenged each coach individually, asking them to explain why they’ve never won, and he made them defend their resumes.

The Jaguars are on a four-game losing streak. Since their Week 7 bye, Jacksonville is averaging just 10.7 points per game.
