Jacksonville players reportedly losing respect for Urban Meyer: ‘He has zero credibility in that stadium’
Published:
Urban Meyer has been under fire recently for a viral video that went out over the weekend.
The video is NSFW as a young woman is seen dancing on Urban Meyer’s lap at a bar in Ohio.
Reports are coming out of Jacksonville that he has completely lost the locker room.
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.’

Meyer canceled the team meeting and only met with individual position groups.
2) Players were particularly put off by the fact that Meyer canceled Monday’s team meeting, as he dealt with the uproar over the videos of him and a young woman getting cozy in that Ohio bar. ‘He even canceled the team meeting. He was too scared,’ a player said.

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.

4) Said one player: ‘We looked at him like, WTF? Right when he left everyone started dying laughing. And he knew it.’

There have been reports this morning that there have been closed-door meetings to talk about the moral clause and for cause in his contract terms.
You can read the full story on the closed-door meeting here.
The Jaguars are 0-4 on the year, with losses to the Texans, Broncos, Cardinals and Bengals.
The Jaguars play host to AFC South rival the Titans at 1:00 ET on CBS ; we will see if Meyer will still be the team’s head coach on Sunday.
