It will be interesting to see how Urban Meyer does in Columbus. He has not been the same at all since Saban beat the tar out of him and the Gators in the 2009 SEC Championship.

Meyer never put out his best team against another great team and got it handed to him like he did that night.

thats a you problem not a meyer problem. john q public have no "rights" to any insight to his personal life. He's owe you nothing. He was hired to do a job, he got paid for it and left. period.


He can do what he wants, but john q public has the right to criticize him for it. If you want to right a book saying how great Hitler was, that's you're right, but we don't have to buy it and we can call you a shitty human being!


That being said, something seems amiss that he would "have to retire" at UF, sit out one year and come back to another major program. If he went to Tulane or Marshall or Portland State or a small program where he could balance work and family, I could understand that. But tOSU is just as, if not more stressfull a place to work as Florida. Something's just not right about it.

Yes if you believed his whole bs line in the first place


I didn't "buy" it then and after watching UF this season my belief that he is a fraud was confirmed

so no he's not a hypocrite, he's just a liar

Promised the Dolphins he was there for good then bolted. Found out later he was a laughing stock in his own locker room and was afraid of his players.

i presume you understand the context of the word 'fire' in that sentence?

are you saying petrino doesn't have fire or do you even know what you're saying?

He's a snake oil salesman in my book, but that stems more from his actions during his tenure at UF. He plays the media like a violin.

I dont know.

If he does take the job at OSU, it has me thinking something else behind the scene might of happen.

yea, Petrino has fire. If you look up Fire in the dictionary, it says "leaving a note in the locker room to tell your team you quit while the season is still going on"

haha what a pathetic- and typical Fayetteville garbage- response. A real man doesnt walk away from a job by leaving a fricking note because the going got too tough. By far the most bush league coaching move Ive ever heard of

Ran the program into the ground? Are you serious? He won 2 titles in 3 years and lost to the eventual national champion to get 3 out of 4.

And please save the "but for Tebow" weak sauce.

please sugar- you don't even understand english and you're gonna criticize me?

real men/women leave jobs every day of the year. it's how it is.

i don't care if you don't like him at all- i simply think it's exceedingly foolish to say he doesn't have 'fire'. stupid, you are.

You're an Arkansas fan- Dont criticize my reading comprehension ability. Fact: Every person not in the state of Arkansas thinks Bobby Petrino is a coward. Real men/women dont leave a note on their computer screen or desk saying "Dear Boss, this workload was just too much for me. But I didnt have the spine to tell you in person, so I'm running out the door while you're on your lunch break."

Actually, it probably does happen all the time in your line of employment as a Wal-Mart greeter. For the rest of us who aspire to raise our family outside of a trailer park, you dont walk out on jobs the way Petrino did.

1. He went 8-5 his last year. Did Miles run LSU into the ground in 2008?

2. Hes not responsible for Muschamp's season.

No, because he had no intentions on getting back in this early. He was planning on his initial plan of Tressel retiring in 2013 and this would have given Urban his 3 years out of the game and everything would have been okay.

Who would've thought that this would've went down at tOSU and his dream job came open with a
$35+ million tag.

Hypocrite = no. Looks like an opportunity became available and he took it.
