Urban Meyer reaction: Fans weigh in about Jaguars coach’s apology for viral bar video
By Adam Spencer
Published:
Urban Meyer stayed behind in Ohio after the Jacksonville Jaguars lost to Cincinnati on Thursday Night Football.
That’s when he got into some trouble, as a video surfaced showing a woman grinding on him in a bar.
On Monday, during his weekly press conference, Meyer addressed the video, saying that he apologized to his team and his family. You can see the apology below:

Inbox: "Jaguars-Bengals is Most-Watched NFL Network Exclusive 'Thursday Night Football' Game Since 2018." Probably not viewed as much as the Urban Meyer videos from the bar afterward, amirite?

It takes a lot to earn a spot on the Urban Meyer Mount Rushmore of Hypocrisy, but standing in front of the media and talking about how heartbroken you are for the people in your locker room after a loss and then proceeding to not fly back home w/ members of the team is amazing.

Meanwhile, Meyer’s Jaguars are 0-4. They will host Tennessee this coming Sunday.
