Great story about our starting TE, Aaron Hernandez, and how he was a very angry young man due to his father passing away, and how Coach Meyer's guidance helped him turn his life around. That's class.

quote:
"It was a rough process, and I didn't know what to do for him," Terri says. "He would rebel. It was very, very hard, and he was very, very angry. He wasn't the same kid, the way he spoke to me. The shock of losing his dad, there was so much anger."
quote:
Meyer stepped in when he realized a good kid was headed down the wrong path. "Urban became his father more or less and the team was his family," Terri says. Every morning, Hernandez arrived at Meyer's office at 7:30 and read the Bible with his coach. One day in February 2008 when Hernandez was struggling, Meyer met with him at noon in his office.
quote:
"It was a 10-hour meeting. We finished at my house at 10 o'clock. Then it continued the next day," Meyer says. "When your guy, your idol, your soul is taken from you, how do you deal with that? I just think there's a part of his life that was not there. He needed discipline; he needed someone to talk to."
quote:
Says Hernandez, "He helped me through a lot of that stuff. I would have horrible days, and he taught me to put things aside and work through it. We have a great relationship even though he wants to kill me half the time." Then he smiles. "He's my Aaron again," Terri says via phone while on lunch break from her job as a school secretary in Bristol. "Just now everything's getting better, and it took him three years. I thought I lost him for good. He wasn't the same kid. Now he's back, the same fun-loving Aaron."

Good for him. Always good to hear stories about coaches like this, even the ones we hate.

Nice reminder that these coaches however much we all dislike them don't get where they are without being extraordinary human beings
except for Saban, he is an a-hole

Good Story. I think most sucessful coaches love their players. It goes beyond what you would normally think.
