Jacksonville Jaguars coach Urban Meyer s apology on Monday for an intimate exchange with a woman at a bar may not be enough, according to a current player on his team and a former NFL executive.

There are many closed-door meetings happening over the last two days in the football offices and none of them involve the teams next opponent, front office veteran Michael Lombardi wrote, citing two unnamed Jacksonville sources. Stay tuned. This might get ugly .

Lombardi later confirmed a sports lawyers suggestion in a tweet that executives were discussing out clauses in Meyers contract.

An unnamed Jaguars player told the NFL Networks Michael Silver that Meyer had lost all credibility and that players were highly skeptical that the woman in the videos was a stranger, as Meyer claimed. I dont know how hes gonna function, the player told Silver.

Meyer apologized Monday for an embarrassing video that went viral over the weekend in which a woman appeared to grind her rear into his crotch. A second clip from another damning angle emerged later, showing Meyer touching her in a sensitive area.

I just apologized to the team for being a distraction, Meyer said, per USA Today. Its stupid. I explained everything that happened and I should not have put myself in that position.

Meyer, who is married, conceded that his family was upset about the recordings.

Meyer took the uncustomary step of traveling back to Florida separately from the team after the Jaguars lost at Cincinnati, saying he wanted to hang out with his grandchildren. Meyer once coached at Ohio State and has roots in the state.

There was a big group next to the restaurant, Meyer explained, per the Score . They wanted me to come over and take pictures, and I did. (They) tried to pull me out on the dance floor, screwing around, but I shouldve left.

Meyer said Jaguars owner Shad Khan was very supportive. But on Tuesday, Khan called Meyers conduct inexcusable in a statement .

Meyer may not get much slack. His team is 0-4 in his first season. And his top draft pick, Trevor Lawrence, is struggling.
