Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer landed himself in hot water this past weekend when video leaked out of him getting grinded on by a pretty young woman at the bar. The woman in question was not his wife.
Alternate angle footage of the incident further revealed that, while the woman was dancing, Meyer was doing something with his hands that he should not have been doing.
In the aftermath, his long-time wife Shelley came out and publicly lashed out at him on social media.
Meyer’s daughter, Gigi, also weighed in on the situation.
On Wednesday, the Jaguars held a practice after which players couldn’t help but take a little shot at their head coach.
The video speaks for itself:

That one-word chant they did before busting out laughing? “Grind.” As in, what that one blonde girl was doing to Meyer in his now-infamous viral video.
Fans picked up on it immediately.

Big picture, Meyer has a real mess on his hands. His players have been turning on him since before this scandal even erupted. Ownership, similarly, appears to be losing faith.
Obviously it’s still early and he can turn things around. But the smart money says that Meyer’s time in Jacksonville will probably end rather quickly and not on particularly great terms with anyone.
