JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars coach Urban Meyer has apologized to his family, his team and owner Shad Khan for actions he called “just stupid.”
A video surfaced Saturday night showing a woman dancing close to Meyer’s lap.
Another video appears to show Meyer touching the woman’s behind.
The 57-year-old former Ohio State head coach called a team meeting to address his actions and vowed to “own it.”
That’s the motto he uses daily and has plastered all around the Jaguars facility.
He says his actions were “just stupid and so I explained everything that happened and owned it. Just stupid. Should not have myself in that kind of position.”
The videos surfaced following Meyer’s decision to stay behind in Ohio after Jacksonville’s loss to Cincinnati rather than flying home to Florida with his team.
The incident appears to have happened at Meyer’s Short North restaurant and bar.
