“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.

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.”
