Urban Meyer just can't catch a break. First, his Jacksonville Jaguars stumble to a 0-4 start to the season, capped by a devastating loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Now, a scandalous video of Meyer having some “fun” at an Ohio bar goes viral, and the Jaguars coach is the butt of memes clowning on him.
It all started earlier this evening. A video of Meyer enjoying a lap dance from a woman who definitely wasn't his wife went viral, and it caused a huge stir in the NFL and college football community. The video has since been deleted, along with the account that posted the video. But in its place are countless memes poking fun at the Jaguars coach.
Some of them found the idea of a near-60-year-old NFL coach walking into a bar and getting a lap dance hilarious:

Others pointed out that this seemed way too early into Meyer's coaching stint to have a scandal. This is referencing a common theme of the current Jaguars coach's career. Meyer would get into a scandal, step down from his post, and then eventually get a new coaching gig. Unfortunately for the Jaguars, they seem to have missed the “Instant Success” part of the diagram:

Or maybe … this is just an intricate ploy from Meyer to get out of Jacksonville! That makes so much sense:
Shad Khan: "Is it true you were getting drunk & fooling around with young women at a bar?"
Urban Meyer: "Yep, looks like you gotta fire me now."
*pause*
Shad Khan: "It takes guts to do that. We need a fearless leader. Here's a 5 year contract extension."

Others commended the guy who caught this on camera, saluting him for the content he provided:

Still others thought that maybe, just maybe … that woman was actually Jags rookie Trevor Lawrence! Perhaps the veteran Meyer was just teaching his student some new tricks:
Urban Meyer: Grinding his way to victories on and off the field.
Woman? He's just trying to bond with Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, that's it.
Tony Khan just found his new AEW storyline.

What about Tim Tebow, Meyer's personal hype man? What does Twitter think about what Tebow is thinking right now? It's actually what you'd think:

And to top it all off, Meyer's own wife, Shelley, has been liking tweets and memes about the Jaguars coach. All while still tweeting about … corn. Yeah, no, this is a weird day:

This has been a wild night for NFL and College Football Twitter. Leave it to the blue bird app to make comedy out of a very public scandal that involves infidelity.
