i didn't say you were wrong at all. i just thought i'd post that excerpt since it wasn't a done deal, and i've seen espn make up crap before. i don't trust them when they bring out 'sources say'.
i think les has left lsu twice now, according to espn and their 'sources'. yet, he's still there.

too bad that meyer had to lie tho, when he said there'd been no offer. guess he went to the saban school of how to answer questions.

at any rate, yes i did laugh when you said there's nowhere better than osu. i can think of plenty of places that are better.

I did not mean nowhere better then OSU. I meant not a better fit for Ohio St then Urban Meyer. Because he wins everywhere he goes, hence he should win at Ohio St. The Big 10 is nothing special and Ohio St has a big time QB who Meyer wanted at FL already in place. The way I phrased it I can see how it was confused for what you said though.

The announcement waited until after the weekend because he was attending his fathers funeral this weekend. Had nothing to do with the holidays.

Urban Meyer is a great coach and a very good person. the fucl<eye's are fortunate to get him.

I once thought and said the same about Joe Paterno. Urban may be, but all in life is not what it seems. Paterno was very lacking as a person in many aspects despite not being all evil....I suspect the same of Meyer.

very true Main Course.

I met him and know a former player of his who hold him in an extremely high regard. Meyer is like a military drill sergeant. Not surprised at all that he has health / stress issues. I met him at a one day football camp and he was telling kids that their role models should be their parents, teachers, etc.. not football players or coaches. I respected that message.

They will be playing for a National Championship in 2012, 2013 at the latest.

I would think they already know the answer to that. Would Meyer go there if it was up in the air?4

I don't think the NCAA has decided yet. Just a speculation on my part, but if they were not going to be eligible, I doubt Meyer would have taken the job. The whole thing stinks already.

Aside from meeting him once and knowing one former player of his how do you know this to be true?

He could be the greatest guy in the world, but leaving Florida as soon as it got a little tough, while citing health issues, only to comeback less than a year later at a different school seems shady to me.

well the one former player is probably as close to Meyer as Tebow is, so I'll take his word for it.

But, for political correctness. I perceive Urban Meyer to be a very good human being.

I think he really did have health issues, not just bailed on the team because the talent wasnt going to be there. And it's not like he knew Tressel was going to be out at Ohio State when he left Florida. It would be very hard for anyone to pass up the opportunity Meyer got. I can understand while some Florida fans would feel slighted, but Meyer did a TON for the Gator football program.

I still hope Ohio State loses all their games next year.

I guess my point is who knows how these guys really are. Especially now with all that is going on with Penn St and Syracuse. I'm not comparing them, there is no comparison. Just saying we don't really know.

The first time he stepped down last year he cited health issues. The second time he said it was to be around his family more. Apparently the year he spent with them was enough.

I didn't know this but I doubt they would announce a new coach before your biggest rivalry game. Why undermine and make your current coach a lame duck before Michigan? It would have been an even bigger distraction.

Agree. It made sense to do it now. In hindsight it's pretty funny to think about how many times Meyer denied this.
