Urban Meyer losing the locker room? Twitter thread details unrest in Jacksonville

Urban Meyer has found himself in hot water lately, as he deals with the fallout from a video that surfaced of a woman grinding against him at a bar.
He spoke with the media and issued an apology on Monday, saying he had addressed the matter with his family and the Jacksonville Jaguars players.
Apparently, though, the conversations with players didn’t exactly leave the Jaguars feeling good about their coach. Per reporter Michael Silver, one Jaguars player called Meyer “scared” after he only met with position groups individually and canceled Monday team meetings.
You can see the anonymous player’s strong comments in the Twitter thread below:
THREAD 1) The Urban Meyer situation in Jacksonville has reached a crisis point, especially in the locker room. One player told me, 'He has zero credibility in that stadium. He had very little to begin with.'

3) Instead Meyer 'only apologized to position groups individually.' He portrayed the woman in the videos as a random person who was 'just there dancing.' Suffice it to say, his audience was highly skeptical.

5 Bottom line, said the player: 'It's bad. I don't know how he's gonna function.'

Obviously, none of this is a great look for an 0-4 Jacksonville team that hosts Tennessee and Miami the next 2 weeks.
Could a change be made if the Jaguars enter their Week 7 bye week with an 0-6 mark? We’ll see how these next 2 weeks go.
