“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.” Khan said. “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.”
Darrell Bevell, the offensive coordinator, will serve as interim coach for the remainder of the season, the owner said.
Trent Baalke will stay as general manager, Khan said, working with Bevell “to ensure that our team will be inspired and competitive while representing Jacksonville proudly over our final four games of the season.”
