Meyer must regain Jaguars' "trust and respect" after "inexcusable" bar incident - Khanv
Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan says Urban Meyer must build bridges after behaviour the head coach admitted was "stupid."
Shad Khan says under-fire head coach Urban Meyer must regain the Jacksonville Jaguars' "trust and respect" after his "inexcusable" conduct in a bar.
Meyer issued an apology on Monday after a video of him sitting on a bar stool while a woman, who was not his wife, dance close to his lap went viral.
The 57-year-old was on a night out in Ohio on Friday, a day after the 0-4 Jaguars' 24-21 defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Meyer apologised to his team and staff for being a "distraction" with his "stupid" behaviour.
Jaguars owner Khan says Meyer must build bridges but expects the under-pressure head coach to "deliver."
Khan: "Last weekend was inexcusable"
Khan said in a statement released by the franchise on Tuesday: "I have addressed this matter with Urban. Specifics of our conversation will be held in confidence.
"What I will say is his conduct last weekend was inexcusable. I appreciate Urban's remorse, which I believe is sincere.
"Now, he must regain our trust and respect. That will require a personal commitment from Urban to everyone who supports, represents or plays for our team. I am confident he will deliver."
Meyer told reporters on Monday: "I just apologised to the team and staff for being a distraction. Stupid,
"I explained everything that happened, and owned it. Just stupid. Should not have had myself in that kind of position."
Meyer said he should have left the establishment earlier after he had been spotted and asked for selfies.
"They wanted me to come over and take pictures, and I did," Meyer said.
"They're trying to pull me out on the dance floor, screwing around, I should have left."
