I don't care about him bashing Meyer, he left a mess at UF and some of the problems UF had during his time are still surfacing. Good Luck with him at OSU. I would bet that success will be fleeting.

Saban literally made him quit and if he faces him again as some think will happen this year, will probably make him quit again.


I always like to hear more about this UF situation after he left. His last recruiting classes are now Juniors and Seniors right? They had 2 mediocre years before that with the coaching changes etc (somewhat to be expected). There are also the things about the "inner circle" with guys he coddled etc.

Do you think those are problems a guy can fix, or do you think it's too engrained in the way he is to change them? If he won OSU 2 national titles in a 5 year span, then left, I'm not sure how they, the OSU fanbase, would react. I would think of him as a complete success

He complained about dirty recruiting and then we all heard the rumors of his antics.

He didn't care about the character of the young men he was recruiting at all it seemed.

He won't have to do that at OSU to win the conference so he may be OK.

He misses his family though so he may not be there long.

Problem is, Meyer's last 2 years at UF, made it look like it was mostly the players that were responsible for the success.

Well, that and Dan Mullen.

But to answer your question directly, no I don't like Mike Bianchi.

FWIW, Florida newspapers are horrible all around, not just in sports coverage.
