Would anyone have a problem letting their kid play for Meyer?

I think the guy is disingenuous. First, there is the whole "I need to resign from Florida and quit coaching for a long time to take care of my health and devote myself to family" thing. All of it lasting an entire year!!
Then it is the way he handled the announcement of taking the Ohio State job. I just think that was done in poor taste given Luke Fickell's position and the impending OSU- UM rivalry game. He basically lied about the fact he had already accepted the job.
The guy just seems like a total fake and there are several examples of his b.s.-ness. I would think twice about letting my son join "team Urban."
eta: Not to mention his first resignation from Florida which was not really a resignation but a "vacation." I'd forgotten about that.

If my kid played quarterback, i definitely would not let him. He did Tebow no favors in getting him ready for the NFL.

I wouldn't. The guy's a total fake and I HATE the way he uses religion as a cover to hide his lack of character.

I'd have no more problems than letting a son play for Saban or Petrino.

i felt like this was done the right way. why would tOSU announce a new coach the week of their biggest game of the year? there are already enough distractions, announcing a new coach would be terrible given the timing.

Also, Urban hasn't said shite yet, I don't understand how he has handled it poorly.

I think people are blowing the whole "he only took a year off" thing way OT of proportion. A year s a pretty long arse time to get away from something and get healthy and spend time with his family.
He's said multiple times he won't coach the same way, delegating more than controlling.
I don't why that's such a big deal. He probably came back sooner than he would have if this job hadn't opened up.
Would be crazy if Saban went to Penn State.

Same was said about Saban when he went to Bama. Looks like he has done fine. All this bs Meyer pulled would be forgotten in a cpl of years. Do recruits really give a damn about "I will not be the next head coach at Alabama" anymore?
Greanted what Meyer did was 100x worse than Saban, he is still a 2 time NC winner and has been a winner everywhere he's coached. With the right players he can easily dominate B1G which is in deep doodoo right now.

He agreed to the job and then said he hadn't agreed to it. How is that do saying anything?

Yeah, because flying around the country calling games for ESPN all year is better for his health or family life than having 6-7 home games a year.

Since you have such intimate details on everything, did you notarize the contract and hand him the pen to sign it? As far as I know nothing was set in stone until this weekend. Get off your high fricking horse. Business decisions are usually negotiated over a stretch of time.

I definitely understand why any florida fan would be upset and why anyone might question this, but none of us know his situation with his family or his existing health conditions. Of course there admitted bias when I say this, but no one really knows.

I agree with this.
Urban tried to do the right thing in this situation. He denied all reports and refused to answer anything else on it. If you are going to blame anyone, blame the "sources" along with some of the dumb sites who love to perpetuate any little rumor, whether true or false.
As far as not being known as a coach that prepare his players for the NFL, that is not his job. If you don't want to send your kid there, then that is your decision, but his job is to win in the NCAA while making sure they get a good education, nothing else.

Seriously?
You are really saying that his part time TV job is even remotely as stressful as running an entire SEC football program?

I'm honestly apathetic to it all. I don't like the way he did it but I'm really not all that upset.
However, unlike when Saban left LSU with a loaded roster, Meyer left us with a roster that was hit incredibly hard by attrition... but I do like some of the pieces he left behind as it has the makings of a championship defense despite his terrible offensive recruiting post Tebow and Harvin.

If you QUIT to spend time with your family, you should at least take a year off to do just that.

If you're "spending time with your family", then having a job that doesn't require you to fly across the entire country every week might help.

Whatever works for you OSU fans to justify it. I am not on any high horse, I am just stating what was reported. Whether he signed anything is semantics. He agreed to the job and then denied that he was taken the job. It is what it is. He is not the only one to do this, but it is disingenuous and not a good way to handle the situation. He could have easily said, "I have no comment."

IMHO he always wanted that Ohio State job. He probably just didn't expect Tressel to get pushed out so soon and thought this may be his only opportunity at it.

That's a different argument and one that makes more sense.
But I am simply saying that the 2 jobs are completely different when it comes to required hours. At least admit that.

Yep. And this stuff about delegating... Didn't he say he was doing this at Florida after his first resignation/vacation?
