Jacksonville Jaguars owner reprimands coach Urban Meyer for 'inexcusable' behaviour
CTV
Jaguars owner Shad Khan publicly reprimanded Meyer on Tuesday for the coach's "inexcusable" behaviour at an Ohio bar over the weekend. Meyer's actions were the latest embarrassment for a franchise that's been mostly a bottom feeder since Khan took over in 2012.
A longtime college coach making the jump to a league he knew little, if anything, about? A renowned motivator using inspirational tactics on professional players driven mostly by money? A guy who built programs and his reputation on stockpiling more talent than his opponents taking over a league laughingstock devoid of playmakers?
It was a long shot, at best, that the Jacksonville Jaguars would be Meyer's latest and greatest success story. A failed experiment would be the more likely outcome. Meyer's not there yet, but he's headed in that direction. And no one could have seen it happening this fast or being this extreme.

Khan released a statement condemning Meyer's actions, which were captured on video and released on social media. One shows a young woman dancing close to Meyer's lap as he sits on a bar stool, a clip that quickly went viral. A second, more damning video appears to show Meyer touching the woman's behind.
