Urban Meyer Has No Interest In Leaving Jaguars For College Job

Dec 1, 2021 9:46 AM

Urban Meyer has no interest in leaving the Jacksonville Jaguars to take another head coaching job in college.

Meyer does not want to reenter the college ranks at this point in his life after leaving Ohio State in 2018.

Meyer's name has been linked to the opening at Notre Dame, thanks in large part to the fact that he previously called that his "dream job" and was courted by Notre Dame in 2005 along with Florida.

Amari Cooper Could Miss 3rd Game Due To Lingering COVID-19 Symptoms

Nov 30, 2021 12:16 PM

Amari Cooper could miss a third game after contracting COVID-19. Cooper was already to miss two games due to a required 10-day isolation as an unvaccinated player and he is now continuing to have symptoms. 

"My gut would be if he doesn't practice tomorrow, I don't see him going to the game," said Mike McCarthy.

McCarthy also indicated Cooper is "still not feeling the best."

Russell Wilson: We Need To Get DK Metcalf The Football

Nov 30, 2021 7:27 AM

DK Metcalf caught just one pass in the Seattle Seahawks' loss to the Washington Football Team on Monday night.

Russell Wilson said Metcalf's lack of catches wasn't about Seattle's game plan, but about the way Washington's defense adjusted.

"Obviously we need to get DK the football," Wilson said. "We called several plays for him. He had a sweet deep cross that he was gonna be wide open, maybe for a touchdown, that I had to move. ... That was unfortunate. ... We called some other stuff and they doubled him. We called two plays in a row for him and they doubled him on those. ... He's one of the best football players in the world. We got to get him the football. We got to find ways to do it. We got to move him around maybe. We've got to study it and find out what we can do."

Kareem Hunt's Father Latest To Take Shots At Baker Mayfield

Nov 29, 2021 9:43 PM

After struggling against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night, Baker Mayfield was criticized on social media by a teammate's family member once again.

Mayfield's play was criticized by Odell Beckham, Sr. prior to his son being released by the Browns earlier this month. On Sunday, it was Kareem Hunt's father that took to social media.

Hunt, Sr. took shots at Mayfield while also saying he's nothing like Beckham's father.

"Now I'm getting people on my Facebook saying I'm being like OBJ's daddy, and I'm not," said Kareem Hunt Sr. on Facebook. "I'm stating facts on football and what we see: he's limping, he's scared to throw the ball and they know he's hurt. [They're] going to keep listening but, if people don't like what I'm saying, unfriend me. I'm not jeopardizing nothing. 

"I got a right to speak. I ain't posting no videos. Have a good day. Go Browns, hopefully."
