REPORT: Urban Meyer Has “Zero Credibility” With Jags; Players Laughed At His Apology

The situation involving Urban Meyer and the Jacksonville Jaguars is getting ugly very fast.

Following the release of videos showing the Jags head coach getting a lap dance at a bar following the team’s Week 4 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, Meyer apologized to the team and the organization for his actions.

Unfortunately for Meyer, many players in the Jags organization aren’t buying it, in-fact certain players believe he has “zero credibility” with them.

In a detailed Twitter thread, NFL Network’s Mike Silver illustrates just how bad things are for Meyer in Jacksonville:

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.'

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.

5 Bottom line, said the player: 'It's bad. I don't know how he's gonna function.'

Jaguars owner Shad Khan released a statement saying Meyer has to regain he trust of the organization:

I have addressed this matter with Urban. Specifics of our conversation will be held in confidence. What I will say is his conduct last week was inexcusable. I appreciate Urban’s remorse, which I believe is sincere. Now, he must regain the 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.
