Urban Meyer is a legendary coach in the college football circuit, having led incredibly strong teams with the Florida Gators and the Ohio State Buckeyes and winning multiple titles with both. As a pro coach in the NFL, however, his tenure so far has been... less than glorious.

After overseeing the Jacksonville Jaguars' fourth loss in as many weeks on Thursday Night Football, Meyer decided not to travel back to Florida with the team that he is responsible for. Instead, he chose to stay behind in his home state of Ohio where he was recorded partying it up and getting grinded on by several young women, none of whom were his wife. That footage has since gone viral.





Meyer apologized to the team and Jaguars ownership upon his return and that probably should have been the end of it... until sports reporter Mike Silver posted a series of tweets that paint out Meyer as having completely lost the locker room.







Silver hasn't disclosed his sources and so this is all technically hearsay, but it's still a pretty bad look. Jags fans have been frustrated with the Meyer regime for a while now, from his signing of Tim Tebow to his seeming ineptitude as a coach at the professional level. One fan provided a great summary of grievances:

We'll let you know if Meyer loses his job in the next few weeks.
