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.

its hard to pass up 40 million!

and you're right.. apparantly now a days you can never really know what lies in a person's heart.

He's going to win a ton of games for OSU though.. which sucks.

Very, very true. Although I imagine it's easier to turn it down when you're already a multi millionaire.

Maybe that is what he told his family. "I'd love to see you more, but that 40 million is hard to pass up. See you guys again in a couple of years when Braxton Miller goes to the NFL."

I kid...sort of.
