Meyer was reportedly fired on Thursday after former Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo claimed that the coach kicked him during a practice that occurred in the offseason. Meyer’s daughter Gigi has since fired back on her Instagram Story, sending a brutal message to the Jaguars.
“The spirit of the enemy is in full force battle mode in this world & in people,” Gigi wrote, according to Fox News. “This is war. We all know who wins in the end.”

Meyer Is ‘Incredible’
“The enemy (aka the world) REALLY doesn’t wanna see good people win,” fitness coach Gigi Meyer added. “& you can argue whether my dad is a ‘good person’ or not based on what you see in the media. (super reliable source of info as we know) Anyone who truly knows us knows how incredible he is as a person.”
“& the world hates any platform we have, so he’s going to create chaos to destroy it,” Gigi continued. “Little does he know he’s making it stronger. It’s not over. Keep watching.”
Not stopping there, Gigi proceeded to post photos of her father at her wedding, as well as images of him with Ohio State and Florida college football players.
“The enemy wants us to crumble & crawl into a hole. But I think you just released the kraken in me,” she concluded. “This isn’t about peoples opinions. I don’t care. But when there’s lies & ppl full on after my family… Then I have a problem & I won’t stay quiet.”

Meyer Fired
Meyer was fired on Thursday after 11 months with the football team.
“Darrell Bevell will serve as interim head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars for the balance of the 2021 season. Darrell succeeds Urban Meyer,” team owner Shad Khan said.
“After deliberation over many weeks and a thorough analysis of the entirety of Urban’s tenure with our team, I am bitterly disappointed to arrive at the conclusion that an immediate change is imperative for everyone,” he added. “I informed Urban of the change this evening. As I stated in October, regaining our trust and respect was essential. Regrettably, it did not happen. ”
“Trent Baalke continues as our general manager and will work with Darrell to ensure that our team will be inspired and competitive while representing Jacksonville proudly over our final four games of the season,” Khan stated. “In the spirit of closure and recharging our players, staff and fan base, I will not comment further until some point following the conclusion of the NFL season.”
Numerous people weighed in on social media about the firing – here are just a few:
Don’t let the Urban Meyer hoopla distract you from the fact that the @washingtonpost reported *two days ago* that Dan Snyder tried to obstruct an investigation into his alleged sexual misconduct and is accused of intimidating former employees.

Urban Meyer should have already been fired and has no business leading anything. Having said that I am in tears laughing at this quote. What a lunatic. pic.twitter.com/sosAWfggD4

C’mon guys, it’s a tough time for Urban Meyer. He just lost his job.
Let’s not kick a man while he’s down!

While Meyer’s time with the Jaguars may be over, it’s clear he has a lioness for a daughter who is not afraid to go to war for him! It will certainly be interesting to see how this saga unfolds in the weeks to come.
