Meyer says he never considered resigning

Urban Meyer is ready to move on. So are his players and his family.

The Jaguars coach publicly apologized for the third consecutive day and said he never considered resigning after his “inexcusable” behavior at an Ohio bar was caught on camera and released on social media.

Meyer added that several members of the team’s leadership council expressed their support.

“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.’ ”
