Urban Meyer said last week he was no longer interested in coaching. Well that's smart on his part. Who the hell would hire him? Despite a wonderful college career that included winning national championships at Florida and Ohio State, Meyer is toxic now. He has jumped from program to program and it never ended well. So called medical problems caused him to retire, unretire and eventually leave the Gators' program […]
It's usually difficult to get excited about college basketball in Florida. No school in the state would ever be compared with the blue blood programs. But several state schools have had their moments. None more so than the Gators, who won back-to-back national titles in '06-'07. The Seminoles lost in the national championship game '72. Ditto for JU in '70. Usually, however, there's an early exit the few times Sunshine […]
By Hays Carlyon The Jaguars are riding high off surging to the AFC South title and a thrilling playoff win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Good times are here. The culture is fantastic, led by coach Doug Pederson and quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The key is keeping it together, which in the NFL is difficult with the salary cap. The Jaguars rank 30th in salary-cap space at $28.1-million OVER, according to spotrac.com. […]
In 25 years, when a thirty-something Jaguars fan is flipping through the team's record book, she'll notice the 2022 team record, 10-9, because . . . well, because there are too many games. How'd a 10-9 team make the playoffs, particular when she sees how awful the team was the year before, 3-14? Could it be a typo, she'll wonder? No, but the final record doesn't come close to telling […]
By Hays Carlyon KANSAS CITY, Mo. – This will be the last time the Jaguars are double-digit underdogs for a long while. Perhaps years. Perhaps a decade. The losing is over. A magical season ended Saturday in the AFC Divisional Round as the mistake-riddled Jaguars lost to Kansas City 27-20 at Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs, favored by 10 points, didn’t commit a turnover while the Jaguars had two. There is […]
By Hays Carlyon The Jaguars have believed all season. That belief has evolved into not only thinking they can do the improbable, but the near impossible. Doubt them at your own peril. I thought the game was over. I was wrong. The Jaguars trailed the Los Angeles Chargers 27-0 late in the second quarter on Saturday night at TIAA Bank Field. They had committed five turnovers. Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence […]
What more can be said about Stetson Bennett's remarkable career as Georgia's quarterback? It's difficult to imagine a college football fan not knowing Bennett's journey and success. But his career is so incredible it bears repeating now that's its over -- punctuated by a second consecutive national championship. Bennett was rated a 2-star quarterback coming out of high school in Georgia. His best college offer came from Middle Tennessee State, […]
Do you believe in destiny? Or de ja vu? Let's go back 26 years to the Jaguars '96 season. No surprise the second-year franchise was 3-6 and seemingly going nowhere. Then Coach Tom Coughlin benched Andre Rison in favor of Jimmy Smith. The Jaguars won 6 of their last 7 games, including their last 5, and -- poof! --! they were in the playoffs. In the final game, the Jaguars […]
By Hays Carlyon Saturday night was supposed to be a legacy game for Jaguars second-year quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Instead, he was bailed out by a defensive and special teams effort that will be talked about for as long as the Jaguars are a franchise. Lawrence and the offense stalled, but the defense forced massive turnovers and the special teams play was masterful in allowing the Jaguars to come from […]
