According to sources, the Jacksonville Jaguars owner plans to stick with Urban Meyer despite the team's 2-10 record.
Sources confirmed an NFL Network report on Saturday that the Jacksonville wide receiver had to be persuaded to return to the team facility after leaving in response to Meyer's criticisms of the wide receiver corps.
Sources confirmed to ESPN that Jones had a heated exchange with Meyer at practice after he returned.
There is a public dispute about player usage, as franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence advocated for the Jags to use running back James Robinson more. Robinson was on the sideline for a long time after he fumbled.
Lawrence said that he sees the whole picture in his eyes. James is one of our best players and he has to be on the field.
Meyer didn't know how long Robinson was held out of the games and he didn't micromanage his assistant coaches, putting the decision on running backs coach. Going forward, Meyer will be more involved in game-day personnel decisions at running back and receiver.
Meyer's job status was in question in October after two videos surfaced showing him with a woman who was not his wife at his restaurant in Columbus, Ohio. Meyer supported Khan's public rebuke of his actions and never planned to resign over the videos.
Khan said after that incident that Meyer must regain his trust and respect. It will require a personal commitment from Urban to everyone who supports, represents or plays for our team. I am confident that he will deliver.
Meyer was fined for organized team activities violations and the hiring of director of sports performance Chris Doyle resigned after being accused of making racist, belittling and bully comments to players.
The Jaguars are in a four-game losing streak and will play the TennesseeTitans on Sunday.
Meyer's name had been a topic of speculation during the recent wave of college coaching vacancies -- including at Notre Dame, which he once referred to as his "dream job" -- but a source told ESPN that the coach remained committed to rebuilding the Jaguars.
