Chris Doyle has resigned from the Jacksonville Jaguars coaching staff just one day after his controversial hiring was announced, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

Doyle was hired by new head coach Urban Meyer to serve as the Jaguars’ director of sport performance, and it was a decision that was met with serious backlash.

Earlier on Friday, Fritz Pollard Alliance executive director Rod Graves released a statement that called Boyle’s hiring “unacceptable,” and Meyer’s defense of the hire an example of the problems minority coaches face in the NFL.

“At a time when the NFL has failed to solve its problem with racial hiring practices, it is simply unacceptable to welcome Chris Doyle into the ranks of NFL coaches.
