Badass recruiter and excellent coach who has health problems and no integrity


He has some integrity, no? No integrity is reserved for Paterno.

There are many Florida fans who remain upset with him for leaving the program in a worse state than what he found it in


He did not leave the program in worse shape than he found it. I think people were upset with the way it ended, but at the end of the day he added two national titles to the trophy case.

If this is indeed the end of Meyer’s coaching career, he exits as one of the most decorated coaches the sport has ever seen. His Alex Smith–led Utah team went 12-0 in the 2004 season before beating Pittsburgh in the Fiesta Bowl; his Florida teams produced Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow and won BCS national titles after both the 2006 and 2008 campaigns; and he brought Ohio State the first national championship of the College Football Playoff, with the 2014 Buckeyes riding third-string quarterback Cardale Jones to their triumph. Meyer never lost to Michigan, and his career .853 winning percentage ranks behind only Knute Rockne and Frank Leahy among coaches with at least 10 years of experience.

you can be a normal human with personal failures and still be one of the best that has ever been in your profession

He's hard to quantify. Did some bad stuff happen around him? Absolutely yes. Is it fair to make him shoulder the blame for it? I'm not sure. We have become a society of finger pointers, so the mere fact that fingers are being pointed at him is nothing unusual for a man in his position. He won and won huge at Florida, and yet also managed to leave the program basically in shambles, all in a few short years. He won and won huge in a few short years at Ohio State, too, but things definitely appear to be trending downwards at the end of his tenure there as well. Why? What is it about his programs that eventually eats them away from within? I have no answer.

As one of he greatest college coaches in the history of the game. Many will remember the character stuff, but that shite tends to fade over time. e.g. Bear Bryant and his alcoholism. Winning trumps all, and Meyer has won a lot.

He will go down with the likes of Tom Sobourne, Joe Paterno, Beamer, etc


Great Coaches who were super fricking scumbags.

Hell, Tom Osbourne would recruit the kid who raped a family member of his, as long as he could win them a title. He had ZERO shame.

And Frank Beamer, c'mon, this dirt bag allowed a player who raped a 15 year old girl(Marcus Vick) to play football.

Do you have proof of this? How would Meyer know that Hernandez would do what he did?

Chose his coaching jobs very well, recruited well and won national championships. He also had more arrest on his Florida teams than I’ve ever seen before and he was either forced to quit from Florida or was scared and ran away.

The GOAT after he returns to coach LSU and Saban retires. Urban dominates college football for the next decade


If that were the case, would LSU fans love it?

Depends on what he accomplishes at USC after his year off.

He could absolutely create a ton of success on the field. He didn't exactly do it in the most savory ways, and then he had difficulty handling the pressure and scrutiny that success brought.
