Run To Curb, Jump On Head

I read an sports http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl--why-did-the-jets-want-tim-tebow-in-the-first-place--152540803.html, and found some slang expressions that are not in dictionaries:

"The coach who never seemed to like Tebow issued a statement on Monday that thanked him for being in shape, which coming from a man whose most salient comment in the last three years had to do with eating a 'goddamn snack' seemed as backhanded a swipe as any. Rex Ryan couldn't run Tebow to the curb fast enough. Then he had to jump on his head."

What does 'run someone to the curb' mean?
What does 'jump on someone's head' mean?

run Tebow to the curb means the Jets got rid of him as though they were taking the garbage to the side of the road to be picked up. jump on his head I think refers to the way they not only got rid of him, but did so in a manner that was as humiliating and insulting as possible.
