IMO he left because his house of cards was about to fall down. Tebow was gone, the only QB that could run what was left of Dan Mullens offense.
The team was falling apart due to him having favorites that could do no wrong. Recruiting was
not going good after he left and came back.
Overall, he was a slime ball and knew that it was time to go while the leaving was good.

Ohio girls just don't compare to Southern girls, man. He'd have to import one unless he wanted to trade down.

You dumb arse! He had thugs on that team who were actively gang banging...Aaron Hernandez was probably shooting people on the days he wasn't playing football


He was terrified of Aaron Hernandez so he quit a year after AH was drafted? You are not smart.

ETA: This is the same dude who kicked Cam off for stealing a laptop. Think about that...

Thank you for weighing in with this excellent insight.

Why is it so hard to accept that he had a major scare health wise, reevaluated his life and priorities and made a change.

This happens ALL THE TIME to guys our age.

After reflection and time with family, he decided he could begin doing what loved again but with better boundaries and balance.

Deal with it. Seems like a very nice and good character guy. Why blindly speculate at BS to make yourselves feel better?

How pissed do ya think Coach Meyer's wife would be, if she learned that the Florida co-ed had transferred to tOSU?

Auburn fans.

Every coach out there would have to kick Cam off the team for stealing, cheating, etc. He would have gotten more heat for letting Cam get away with doing those things.

That is about the only thing I admire about his time in Fl. At least he did the right thing with Cam.

I appreciate Mark Ricth for kicking the thugs off his team as well. He has some integrity.

Just threw Aaron's name as an example of the culture there around that time...did not say it was Aaron himself that led to Meyer leaving...also as I said...it may not have had anything to do with thuggery. May have been co-eds....may have been the Cam thing...may have been the Saban thing. I really do not know.

This seems most likely, but we will never know if it's true. It could have been all this and one of the other 100000 theories posted here or something else.

I will say that FSU fans who saw him at UF and now at OSU have told me he seems night and day different. Seems much more happy on a daily basis now, and more thrilled with wins.

Maybe he actually was able to reevaluate and change priorities. I know the leopard cant change his spots, but maybe he can change their size? He's still competitive as all hell obviously, and he's doing pretty well for himself

Does every post have to contain some life changing insight?...Some poster suggests that Meyer's wife made him leave a multimillion dollar job for cheating....like that would solve the problem. I know I wasn't saying something that wasn't thought of before...just being the first to throw it out here.

The cheating thing with Cam was pretty soundly disproven. It was clear he either stole or knowingly took possession of a stolen laptop and for that he should have been sent packing.

He was also 18 and since that point hasn't done a single thing to make someone think he didn't learn his lesson. He has gone out of his way to do things most players don't do as well. Feeding hungry people, gifts for disadvantaged children, tutoring, etc…

Meyer had a break down. It isn't unusual for men his age. I see it all the time in my line of work. I suspect he is better off for it. He acknowledged it, fixed it and moved on. My guess is that a bunch of guys on here are having a similar life crisis but they aren't acknowledging it and are flushing their lives down the drain because of it.

I don't care for CUM, but he can recruit and he can coach. We'll see if he has learned anything. I suspect he has.

This thread was asking why Urban Meyer left and you're posting your own redneck ideas with no substantive info, then getting butthurt when your "hurr durr this could have happened but I don't know" theories get shite on.

U must really want out to invent a disease and quit on your players.
Something about LSU and Bama made the kitchen a bit warm for the urb. Add in the kind of athletes needed to compete against these two teams demands great leadership, which Urb doesnt possess. There was only going to be one outcome. Miami comes to kind with Coker.

Urb took the easy way out and landed at easy Ohio State, where he will win more than Saban or Miles moving forward. Life is fair or no?

See what u get when u preach never quit and suck it up and then u do exactly that the very first time u face adversity.....

Urban "the fraud" Meyer wanted out of Florida before the thing exploded and cost him his legacy. Worked out great and an even better example of hypocrisy being rewarded in this country again.
Go Buckeyes!

Saban MHAQ. Just like Fulmer, Tuberville, Chizik, and now Les. It's just what Saban does.

That sums it up very well I'd say. I don't know if he learned from that and has changed or not (these things often only come out years after the fact of course).

However, the one that I always laugh about is the "30 arrests." That really isn't that big of a number over 6 years in todays world.

According to this story for example, Mizzou UGA and A&M would be on pace for more than 30 arrests over 6 years, and Alabama and Ole Miss would be around 25+.

I'm not in any way condoning this, but it's kind of funny to look at
