Urban Meyer has been fired after less than a year as head coach of the NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars, team owner Shad Khan said in a statement.

“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.

Meyer’s exit follows a number of controversies that have dogged his tenure in Jacksonville, including a report that former kicker Josh Lambo had accused the head coach of kicking him during a practice in August.

The Mets and Max Scherzer agreed to a three-year, $130 million deal.

The contract comes with a record $43.33 million average annual salary and an opt out after the second year, along with a full no-trade clause.

The deal also surpasses the average annual value for any player in MLB history, leaving behind the $36 million per year the Yankees are giving Gerrit Cole, as well as the $85 million over the first two years of Trevor Bauer’s deal he signed with the Dodgers a year ago.

The Mets and new owner Steve Cohen tried to make a big splash with Bauer last offseason, offering the right-hander a three-year, $105 million contract before he ultimately signed with the Dodgers.

Scherzer, 37, had also been linked to the Dodgers and Angels this offseason, but instead became part of the early free-agent frenzy by the Mets.

The lasting impact of six former players was formally recognized on Sunday with their selections to the National Baseball Hall of Fame’s Class of 2022.

Gil Hodges, Jim Kaat, Minnie Miñoso and Tony Oliva were elected by the Golden Days Era Committee, and Bud Fowler and Buck O’Neil were chosen by the Early Baseball Era Committee in voting that took place in Orlando, Fla.

They will all be honored, along with any selections from the Baseball Writers’ Association of America ballot, at the July 24, 2022, induction ceremony in Cooperstown, N.Y.

This was the first meeting of both the Early Baseball Era and Golden Days Era Committees. The Early Baseball Era Committee considered candidates who made their contributions to baseball prior to 1950, while the Golden Days Era Committee considered candidates from 1950-69.
