Bruh. Get real. What about his parents? Belichick? His friends. Or, here's a novel thought, HIMSELF.

I hit the upvote button so many times to just get one registered.

There's no doubt Urban has learned from the experience. He does not have the same troubles at Ohio State because he's actually disciplining a little bit there.

Meanwhile, when he was at Florida, he let his players run amok with no repercussions.

I didn't say he would stop winning. I said life would catch up to him....Again.
You guys are so beholden to him that he finally beat an SEC team in bowl game that mattered. And to top ot all off it was Bama. But Clemson is doing the work now. Got Uncle Woody fired and you guys have nothing for Clemson now.
My deal is his outside life that catches up to him and. No one in their right mind would question his coaching ability. But a meltdown from a couple of losses to the right team. LIke Clemson, Again. BTW how is Shelley doing? I am sure you get the drift.

Um.... I literally don't do that. This is the only case that I want a little blame put on someone.

Don't bring politics into this. It has nothing to do with that.

Well said.

They'll be discussing Aaron Hernandez on Paul's show here soon. I wonder if someone will mention that Urban should be liable as well. Guess we will see what they think.

I'm not beholden to him at all, but he isn't reacting to things in even close to the same way at OSU as he did at UF. He was going off on reporters all the time at UF, and throwing tantrums that were reported on. None of that has been reported on in his time at OSU. Perhaps it is going on and OSU is doing a better job of not letting it leak out, which seems difficult since everything bad gets out these days with social media.

Here is the difference in him at OSU. In the 2016 class, there was an EXTREMELY talented H-back who wanted to play at OSU. Sam Bruce. Meyer didn't take the kid because of off the field stuff. The UF Meyer may have taken the kid because he is talented. One year later, he is booted off of Miami's football program and is a JUCO. The way things are being run is completely different.

I am probably more shocked than any of you are. I figured he would be exactly like he was at UF, and I was ready for the implosion. Just not sure it's going to happen. Bookmark this for sure if I'm wrong

Urbz is a hypocritical SOB. Would only recruit the top 1% of the top 1% of kids with character.

But, all of Hernandez' actions are on Hernandez.

Urban Meyer was greatly impacted by one of his first Gator recruits Avery Atkins. He had to kick him off the team and the kids life spiraled out of control. Eventually ended up killing himself in 2007. It had a major impact on Meyer's approach to discipline afterward.

This. Honestly, it kind of speaks well of Meyer that he changed after Atkins.

Hey thanks for the interaction. I actually have alot of friends and business from the Buckeye State. Farm stuff. I absolutely love the Ohio State Fair and the Germantown in Columbus. Some restaurant that brews their own beer and has a buffet, is AWESOME>. Name escapes me.
But maybe Urbie has changed a bit. But I am sure that the university is more tight lipped. Shite happens you never hear about, but anyway enjoyed the convo!
