Ex-Jaguars’ Kicker Josh Lambo Says Urban Meyer Kicked Him

A new testimony from the Jacksonville Jaguars‘ former kicker, Josh Lambo, may be what solidified the decision to fire Urban Meyer.

“I’m in a lunge position. Left leg forward, right leg back,” Lambo told The Tampa Bay Times. “Urban Meyer, while I’m in that stretch position, comes up to me and says, ‘Hey Dips–t, make your f–king kicks!’ And kicks me in the leg.”

Lambo went on to call Meyer a bully, which corroborates other stories, even dating back to Meyer’s relationships with assistant coaches at Florida and Ohio State.

“Truthfully, I’d register it as a five (out of 10). Which in the workplace, I don’t care if it’s football or not, the boss can’t strike an employee. And for a second, I couldn’t believe it actually happened. Pardon my vulgarity, I said, ‘Don’t you ever f–king kick me again!’ And his response was, ‘I’m the head ball coach, I’ll kick you whenever the f–k I want.'”

Lambo said his former teammates and coaches are the reason he’s speaking up now. After some of the allegations against Meyer went public, Meyer announced that anyone who was leaking information would be fired. Lambo felt it was important to speak the truth since people within the organization were threatened when they tried to be honest about the problems linked to Meyer going on inside the organization.

Meyer says that the telling of the story is inaccurate and believes eyewitnesses would deny the account.

The firing comes out after a slew of accounts linking Meyer to the hiring of assistant coach Chris Doyle, who had been fired from Iowa for racism and bullying, going to a bar and groping a woman who was not his wife instead of going home with his team after a loss, calling his assistant coaches “losers” and disagreements with players.
