Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette and Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey were among those who reacted to the firing of executive Tom Coughlin on Wednesday.
The Jaguars fired Coughlin a day after an arbitrator ruled that fines against several team members were excessive. Coughlin notably had a dispute with Ramsey during the 2019 season, which led to his trade to the Rams. Fournette was fined $99,000 last season for sitting on the bench in Week 17 while inactive.

Ramsey responded with two emojis.
Jaguars cornerback A.J. Bouye said that Coughlin’s fines were pointless. He told the Florida Times-Union he was docked $10,000 for skipping a mandatory yoga session.
