Jaguars coach Urban Meyer apologizes to his wife but video of him grabbing woman’s butt emerges

Jacksonville Jaguars coach Urban Meyer apologized to his team and owner Shad Khan for ‘being a distraction’ after a video surfaced over the weekend showing a young woman dancing close to his lap.
Meyer called a team meeting Monday and vowed to ‘own it,’ the motto he uses daily and has plastered all around the Jaguars facility.
‘I just apologized to the team and staff for being a distraction,’ Meyer said in a press conference. ‘Just stupid and so I explained everything that happened and owned it. Just stupid. Should not have myself in that kind of position.’
Meyer didn’t fly back with his team following Jacksonville’s 24-21 loss at Cincinnati on Thursday night.
He remained in Ohio to see family members and went to dinner Friday at his restaurant/bar in Columbus, Urban Meyer’s Pint House.

A video showing a blonde woman dancing in close proximity to Jacksonville Jaguars coach Urban Meyer has become viral on Twitter. The video by Twitter account @ChiefSVP has racked up more than 2,000 likes

‘I stayed to see the grandkids and we all went to the dinner that night,’ he said.
‘There was a big group next our restaurant and they wanted me to come over and take pictures, and I did. They were trying to pull me out on the dance floor, screwing around, and I should have left.’
The 9-second video of Meyer and the woman became a trending topic on Twitter on Saturday night.
In the short clip that only lasts five seconds, married Meyer appears to be sitting on a barstool and wearing white shorts and a pink long-sleeved Ohio State sweatshirt.
A blonde woman in jeans can be seen dancing in front of him, as Meyer’s arms interpose between his and the woman’s bodies.
The video shared by Twitter account @ChiefSVP has racked up more than 2,000 likes.
More pictures of Meyer drinking next to other women at the same bar surfaced shortly after the video became viral.
The Twitter account @TheOllieC shared a screenshot from an Instagram story, in which a woman is seen next to the coach with the picture captioned ‘WHO IS THIS HE KEEPS FLIRTING WITH ME.’

Meyer has been married to wife Shelley Mather Meyer for 35 five years and shares children Nicole, Gisela, and Nathan with her.
‘I’ve always been so defensive of (my players),’ he said. ‘I remember when (rookie quarterback) Trevor (Lawrence) told me he was going to go to Vegas for his bachelor party. I was just like, “My gosh, man, be careful and surround yourself because I’ve seen this happen.”‘
‘The team, I spoke to a bunch of leaders one on one, spoke to all the players. They´re good. They´re focused on Tennessee. I apologized again for being a distraction. A coach should not be a distraction.’
Meyer said he also apologized to his family.
‘Yeah, yeah, of course I did,’ he said. ‘That’s not me. Oh, yeah, they’re upset.’
Before the video went viral, Mather Meyer retweeted a picture of her husband with the same outfit at the bar in question.
She then shared pictures of herself playing with her two grandchildren and captioned them ‘Meanwhile I am babysitting #MyChoice #MimiRules #BuddyDeservedANightOut.’

Users on social media had different reactions to the video. Some condemned the former Ohio State coach’s actions, while others contended he had not touched the woman in the video.
‘If your married and you love your wife, do not go to places that are EASY hook-up joints. There are plenty of places to get a drink that are far less obvious for potential hook-up’s,’ said Twitter user @JoeMilam10.
Others, like Kevin Taylor, jumped to Meyer’s defense, saying that he was trying to be respectful and not cause a scene. ‘If you look at it he’s keeping his hands there to prevent her bottom from rubbing against him. He’s trying to be respectful,’ Taylor said.

The video sparked rumors of infidelity on Meyer’s part, who is shown wearing his ring in the pictures taken the day the video was filmed. Coach Urban Meyer shared this photo with his wife, Shelley Meyer, and one of their grandsons on Instagram

@GLFCNA ventured to say that Meyer had been the victim of a setup and tweeted:’ Official guy code rules this not cheating. Tough spot for Urban, he’s not even engaging, probably was a setup.’
But fellow Twitter user Megan Rose was not having any of it and rebutted the argument.
‘Official wife code rules: don’t let the girl even get close to doing this. Make it known you’re not there for flirting and hooking up. Then if somehow this STILL happens, get up and walk away. Men excusing other men’s bad behavior is bad for women everywhere,’ Rose said.
The Jaguars will not issue a statement addressing the video either, The Florida Times Union reported. Meyer is attended his usual press conference on Monday, where he addressed the situation.
