Meanwhile, over at that other expansion team...

The video showing Jacksonville Jaguars coach Urban Meyer fondling a woman in a bar was shocking within the NFL for reasons beyond the actions themselves. As the news was breaking, coaches from other teams struggled to comprehend how it could have happened when it happened.

“It wasn’t something from six months ago?” one coach asked as the news was unfolding.

By now you’ve heard just how uncommon, even unprecedented, it is for NFL head coaches to stay behind while their teams return home without them. Head coaches typically would have been evaluating game video as early as the flight home, meeting with their teams the next morning and getting injury updates from trainers. Meyer remained in Ohio, site of the Jaguars’ 24-21 defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals last week, to visit family and, ultimately, to star in a video that brought embarrassment upon him, his wife, his broader family and the organization.

The fallout remains intense. Across the league, the situation continues to spur discussions regarding leadership,

This incident keeps getting weirder:

Mother of woman in Urban Meyer viral video concerned for her daughter's well-being

The mother of the 24-year-old woman who was videotaped and photographed dancing near Jacksonville Jaguars coach Urban Meyer at Urban’s Chophouse in Columbus, Ohio last week said she is worried about her daughter's wellbeing.

“(She) can’t even go anywhere," the mother told USA TODAY Sports. “It's ruining her life is what it’s doing. I’m worried for her emotional status right now."

New Horizon Media Group, a marketing company where the woman works, said Thursday it is conducting an internal investigation into the incident that took place Friday.

“I just pray that they don’t fire my daughter because she needs this job," the mother said. “She just bought a house."

What the hell?  Why in the world would this woman be fired for that?  She didn't do anything wrong...

She embarrassed a famous guy with lots of friends in high places. Also, let’s be honest she knew who he was and that he was married. I’m not going to cry for her.

I’m not either, momma should have taught her daughter better….you would think she’d (mom) keep her mouth shut and draw the family around her daughter till it goes away, or media loses interest.  Incidents like that is why I’ve never drunk or put myself in stupid situations.  Mama taught me that.

Well sure, but my point was that 20 years ago, it was easy to get away with being a dumbass.  Now, its more difficult.

This is absolutely spot on. If you are a celeb or pro athlete or politician you really got to walk a tight rope if you doing something you not supposed to do - like have ongoing extra marital affairs with women and porn stars like Stormy Daniels - better make them sign a NDA!

Her career shouldn't be fuged and she shouldn't be getting harassed for what was honestly pretty silly and ridiculous on her part. 

Meyers job is in jeopardy not because of what he did in the video itself, but because he left his team obstensibly to see his family and ended up going viral in a bar... All while his team just suffered a huge loss and was on an extended losing spree.

Today, it's an electrician finding viral fame.  But not just any electrician....  

=-=-=-=

D.J. Byrnes, a Columbus, Ohio, union electrician’s apprentice, had already put back a few drinks last Saturday when he checked his phone and saw that someone had sent him a doozy: a brief video of Jacksonville Jaguars coach Urban Meyer at a restaurant with a young woman dancing on his lap.

Byrnes, 34 years old, has worn many hats. He once got in trouble for allegedly trying to rob some drug dealers in Montana. He took classes at Ohio State, though he never graduated, and still roots for the football team. He ran for the Ohio state House of Representatives and lost, garnering just 24.5% of the vote. 

Almost immediately after Meyer made those remarks late Monday morning, Byrnes sat down at a table in the breakroom at his job as an electrician. That’s when another source reached out on Twitter with a direct message and an even juicier tip. 

"Are you aware of the other video?" the message said.

Nobody outside of his family cares if Meyer danced with some ho at a bar.  What players & NFL execs do care about is his lack of leadership and work ethic:

• he didn't take the team plane home (which is HIGHLY unusual for a head coach and shows very poor leadership)
• said he needed to "clear his head" with the weekend off - suggesting he's already overwhelmed after just 4 NFL games
• instead of breaking down film for his next opponent (coached by one of his former Ohio State staff), he's dancing around and getting drunk

NFL coaching is all about the grind.  If you're not plugged into your team 24/7, you're not doing your job.  Why should players trust coaches who aren't preparing the offensive / defensive schemes & putting them in positions to make plays.  They shouldn't.

A lack of work ethic is the kiss of death in the NFL.
