Well, he told his freshmen that he came back because he would die on the field to coach them.

True story.

he lost those players when he "retired" last year and came back .. just like the UF basketball program hasn't been the same since Billy Donovan pulled his wishy washy shite ..

I have always felt and stated that Meyer is a used car salesman, and does not possess a genuine bone in his body.

I don't know him, but some I've talked to that know him as a person say different.

I'm sticking with my instincts.

I have heard there is a LOT more to this retirement story than we know .. why retire to be with the family when your kids are in college and you're an empty nester ? and the health angle is iffy too ..

Well, he's a Peter North twin, so there will always be those kind of rumors. Who knows? I've heard them, too.

His appearance in the ESPN studio several days ago, when he discussed life in the SEC, was very telling to me.

I know it's a reach, but I really think the way this Cam Newton thing played out, and what he knows, had a lot to do with why he moved on. He coached the poster boy for college athletics for four years, and I think it turns his stomach to see a character like Cam Newton come behind him and receive the same, if not more, recognition.

Not by any means his motivation, but just one more straw that helped him to pull the trigger.

Well, I don't think Meyer had any say in what eventually happened. It became an academic issue.

But, had the laptop been the only issue, I'm sure Meyer would have spun it like a champ.

I could see Tebow and Newton holding their Heismans with Urban in the middle, singing Ebony and Ivory.

I never have liked Urban Meyer, he is far too arrogant. There is absolutely zero chance that he retired from coaching to "be with his family". If that was true, he would have done it last year. I can buy the health issue, but why not just be truthful about it.

And yes, those players looked like they wanted none of an Urban hug as they walked by him.
