Urban Meyer responds to unflattering viral bar video

Urban Meyer’s NFL coaching career is off to a rough start, to say the least.
HIs Jacksonville Jaguars are 0-4 and most recently blew a double-digit lead to the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football. Now, he’s apologizing for a video that went viral this weekend.
In the video, a woman — who’s not Meyer’s wife — was seen grinding on him at a bar. Monday morning, Meyer responded to the video, saying he “should not have been in that kind of position” and apologized to the team.
(Warning: The video is mildly NSFW)

Meyer is in his first season as an NFL head coach after a successful college coaching career, notably with Florida and Ohio State. He won 3 national titles — 2 with Florida and 1 with Ohio State — and took the Jaguars job this offseason, 3 years after he retired from Ohio State.
We’ll see if things turn around for Meyer and the Jaguars from here.
