Düsseldorf While most Europeans are asleep, the North American professional leagues are busy. What happened that night in American football, basketball and ice hockey. Today among other things: A coach thrown out in the NFL and German NBA professionals who convince despite defeat.
Football: Jacksonville Jaguars split from head coach Meyer
The Jacksonville Jaguars from the North American professional football league NFL have separated from head coach Urban Meyer. After 13 games with only two wins, owner Shad Khan decided to take this step on Thursday. The Jaguars are in last place in the NFC South and have no chance of making it into the playoffs. Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell will act as interim head coach for the last four games.

In addition to the unsuccessfulness, Meyer (57) is said to have made a few mistakes. Former Jaguars player Josh Lambo said that Meyer should have kicked him during training in August. In addition, “NFL Network” reported that Meyer recently had a heated argument with wide receiver Marvin Jones and is said to have described his assistant coach as a loser.
–
“After weeks of deliberation and a thorough analysis of Urban’s entire tenure with our team, I was very disappointed to conclude that an immediate move is inevitable for everyone,” Khan said in a statement. “As I explained in October, it was important to regain our trust and respect. Unfortunately, that did not happen. “

Because an additional seven ice hockey players and ten coaches were added to the league’s corona list, the Calgary Flames are no longer allowed to play until December 18. The NHL announced on Wednesday. The first thing affected is the game between the Flames and the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday. The team was not allowed to compete this week.
