Fritz Pollard Alliance: Urban Meyer, Jaguars Hiring Chris Doyle 'Unacceptable'

The Jacksonville Jaguars are facing mounting criticism for hiring disgraced former University of Iowa strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle, who left the program before the 2020 season after multiple former players said he made racist remarks and mistreated Black players.

The Fritz Pollard Alliance, a nonprofit made up of NFL personnel championing diversity and equal opportunity in the league, took aim at Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer on Friday, calling his hiring of Doyle as the team's director of sports performance a reflection of the "good ol' boy network" pervasive across the league.
