Urban Meyer unintentionally made headlines over the weekend when a video went viral that showed a young woman rubbing up against him, and the Jacksonville Jaguars coach apologized on Monday.
Meyer told reporters that he has apologized to Jaguars coaches and players for becoming a distraction. He said it was “stupid” of him to put himself in that situation. Meyer explained that he was at an event when people tried to get him on the dance floor.
The video showed a girl grinding in front of Meyer at his restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. Meyer seemed to have his arm in front of him to serve as a barrier between him and the woman. That appeared to be Meyer’s way of showing that the dancing was unwanted from his end without being rude to the woman.
Meyer, 57, is married. His wife Shelley said she knew where he was the night the video was taken and seemed to defend her husband.
