Tim Tebow has as close a relationship with Urban Meyer with just about anyone outside of his family. So he had an understandable reaction to the news of the last week when an inappropriate video surfaced of Meyer in a bar in Ohio with a woman who wasn’t his wife.

Tebow addressed the situation on ESPN’s “First Take” on Friday morning about his former coach at Florida, who recently brought him in for a short stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

“This is a very disappointing, frustrating and honestly heartbreaking situation,” Tebow said. “When I first saw and heard what was happening, my heart was hurting for Miss Shelley, Coach’s wife, someone that I love very much, and his daughters, who I’m very close with, who I’ve talked with both of them this week, and also had the chance of talking with coach. It’s a very difficult week, and my advice to him was to apologize to admit it, to learn from it, to never, never repeat it.”

Tebow also shared what Meyer told him.

“Coach shared with me that it was one of the hardest times of his life,” Tebow said. “And he apologized, but he didn’t need to apologize to me. I know this weighs so heavy on his heart and he is hurting. I do think for some of the guys he will have to earn back their trust and respect. I think he really wants to do that. This is not something that I think anyone in his family takes lightly. This is a very serious situation, a very disappointing situation, but I also know that Coach isn’t taking it lightly and he knows what a big deal this is, how disappointing it is to so many people, and I believe that he wants to make amends, which is very hard and it takes a while. That’s the thing about a reputation, it takes a lifetime to build and a moment to lose.”

Tebow added that he doesn’t condone those actions, but gives someone a chance to change and grow, and earn back that trust and respect.
