“Inexcusable” – Jacksonville Jaguars Owner Furious With Urban Meyer’s Recent Controversial Conduct

Jacksonville Jaguars are off to the worst possible start one could imagine. They are winless in their first four matches in the NFL. Despite their shambolic on-field performance, they are not short of controversy off-field too. After Jaguars’ recent loss to the Bengals, a video went viral of their head coach Urban Meyer at a bar in Ohio with women in compromising positions.

This has led to further embarrassment to the club. Jaguars’ owner issued a statement following the clip’s leak and was upset with his coach.

Shad Khan: Meyer ‘must regain our trust and respect’

Coach Urban Meyer received a severe scolding from Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan on Tuesday following viral social media photos showing Meyer visiting a Columbus, Ohio, pub following the Jaguars’ defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals.

“I have addressed this matter with Urban,” Khan said in a statement. “Specifics of our conversation will be held in confidence. What I will say is his conduct last weekend was inexcusable. I appreciate Urban’s remorse, which I believe is sincere. Now, he must regain our trust and respect. That will require a personal commitment from Urban to everyone who supports, represents, or plays for our team. I am confident he will deliver.”

“I should have left” – Urban Meyer angry with himself

Jacksonville Jaguars coach Urban Meyer last night issued an apology to his team and to his family in a public press conference. Meyer described the incident, which seemed to take place at his Urban Chophouse in the Short North, as a “distraction.”

“I just apologized to the team and the staff for being a distraction. It’s stupid,” Meyer said. “I explained everything that happened and owned it. I should not have put that myself in that kind of position, I should have left.” When quipped if he apologized to his family, he said, “Of course I did. They were upset.”
