Jimmy Smith once advocated for the Jaguars to sign Urban Meyer, but now he is relived to see him gone.
Smith had a guest segment on CBS Sports Radio’s “The Zach Gelb Show” on Friday and confirmed he now looks bad because of what has transpired with Meyer the last few weeks.
“I’m angry because I was a cheerleader for Urban Meyer and now I look like, you know, I got egg on my face,” Smith said.
He said the Jaguars community was “fearful” about potentially having wasted a year of Trevor Lawrence’s career. He was then asked what he would say to Meyer if he was able to have a conversation with him.
“If I could have one? I don’t want no conversation. After seeing that video, I’m embarrassed. I mean, that’s bad,” Smith said.
In the early morning hours of Thursday, the Jags fired Meyer after a blowout loss against the Tennessee Titans and non-stop controversies that ended with a former player stating he had been kicked by Meyer.

Jaguars officials told ESPN there was no one incident the team could point to that was the last straw and called it a “cumulation of instances.”
Smith was a five-time Pro Bowler with the Jaguars. He finished his career with 862 catches for 12,287 yards and 67 touchdowns.
