Why did Urban want out of Florida so bad?

He had a iconic team with a recruiting hot bed. I still can figure out why he wanted out.

No indoor training facility. Oh, and he was tired.

He was forced out when he leaked information about Cam Newton supposedly cheating on his exams or some shite, which is federally protected information. Of course Florida and ESPN let him leave with dignity, allowing him to use the "health and family" excuse.

He was in the car when Hernandez shot and killed a guy.
Urbz is gangster AF.
True Story. I was there.

He wasn't going to beat Saban again.

Honestly?
Couldn't take the heat. Saw Nick Saban coming and knew he would drop.

I'm not sure we will ever get an answer. I watched the HBO piece on his decision and the interviews with his daughters and wife were pretty revealing, they definitely thought something was seriously wrong with him.
He often would make comments that his 6 years felt like 12. I think it is entirely possible with a small rebuild looming, all the off-the-field issues and the high expectations he was just burned out.

I have no idea why he left. Whether he didn't want to compete, or his own reason's were legit, or some of these other explanations are true, I have no idea.
But it's looking like a great move. I respect UF and I'm way more interested in them than I am in Ohio State. But that isn't shared by too many people outside of SEC country. Florida doesn't get the same attention at OSU. It gets PLENTY, but it's not on the same level as Ohio State in the eyes of the media and country. His time at UF really helped to start his amazing coaching legacy but if he does it at Ohio State it could potentially shoot him to the very top. And the big thing is it'll be easier to achieve at OSU.
If he isn't as successful though, he's gonna be kicking himself thinking about the teams he could have coached at UF from 2010-whenever in this down East.

He hated the dirty nature of SEC recruiting (not that he isn't one of the slimiest) and the constant off field issues that come with talent. Cam blowing up at AU was the straw that broke the camel's back, he basically took his ball and went home.

Of course I have no idea why Coach Meyer really left Florida. But I do have a theory of my own.
It's quite possible that Coach Meyer had recruited so many thugs (and I mean very dangerous thugs)on his team that he felt that he and his family were no longer safe. I find it quite possible that a few of his players were sending a vibe that if he "disses" them they would retaliate against Meyer and his family...not outright saying it...but just insinuating it. At Ohio State...you stand much less chance of this happening.
I don't believe losing to Coach Saban had anything to do with it. I could be wrong of course.

Health and family issues.

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.

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?

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!
