Jaguars’ Meyer never considered resigning coaching job

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Urban Meyer says he never considered resigning following a viral video of the Jacksonville Jaguars coach at an Ohio bar and adds he has received support from several members of his team's leadership council.

The 57-year-old Meyer also says he had three or four conversations with Jaguars owner Shad Khan and “the message is loud and clear.”

Khan publicly reprimanded Meyer for “inexcusable” behavior over the weekend. Meyer was caught on video getting cozy with a young blond. One clip released on social media shows the woman dancing close to Meyer's lap as he sits on a bar stool. A second, more damning video appears to show Meyer touching the woman's behind.

Meyer says team leaders have expressed support while they try to turn the page before hosting Tennessee on Sunday.

“I had at least eight to 10 phone calls where they called me and they were over-the-top supportive and said, ‘We got you, man. Move forward,'” Meyer said. “A common thing was, ‘Coach, we all did stupid things.' I'm really impressed with our guys.”

Meyer apologized again Wednesday to Khan and the fans. He held a full team meeting after explaining what happened to players Monday in individual position groups.
