Imagine being a Jaguars fan.
Your team has been stuck in a two decade-long nosedive, a franchise that feels like it's cursed to exist in perpetual misery.
After years of unrelenting torture, you finally get a glimmer of hope. You hire Urban Meyer, a college football legend, and pair him with a “can’t miss” generational quarterback prospect, Trevor Lawrence. The future seems bright.
And then Urban Meyer treats his first NFL season like a five-month brewery tour.
He’s out there hitting on hostesses, skipping team flights, literally kicking his kicker, and doing absolutely everything except coaching a football team. Predictably, the season crashes and burns, and Trevor Lawrence regresses into a shell of what he could’ve been.
Next up, Doug Pederson—a Super Bowl-winning coach. Finally, some competence, right? Year one is solid. Trevor bounces back, the team looks good, and they even win a playoff game. For a brief, shining moment, it feels like things are turning around.
And then, it all falls apart.
Pederson starts to look like the post-Super Bowl burnout version of himself, the guy Philly couldn’t wait to fire. The team sucks again. Trevor regresses again.
So you hit the panic button and hire a relative unknown.
Some guy who’s barely got a track record, but hey, he coached Baker Mayfield to a borderline MVP season that one time, so maybe there’s something there, right?
You start lying to yourself. “Maybe he’s the next McVay,” you whisper, staring at yourself in the mirror, dead inside.
And then the nightmare levels up.
Within a week, the guy’s already sketchy as hell.
Turns out he lied to his last team, gaslit your front office into giving him more money and control, and now this smug Keebler elf-looking dude is standing at the podium during his intro presser shouting the cringiest, undercover-cop in front of a Jacksonville gang about to get shot “DUUUUVALLLL” you’ve ever heard in your life.
Pray for Jacksonville. They need it. Badly.
This is a copy pasta, but I did enjoy it - and now perma shade the jags and I no longer support Trevor Lawrence
