As for everyone jumping on the "Meyer's a dummy" train, you go bring me 3 national championships and holla @ me.  You're talking about one of the greatest FOOTBALL COACHES of our lifetime.  There are nearly 1600 players in the national football league, another 250 or so that are draft eligible each year not counting street free agents.  Can you name them all?  No.  The difference is that if any one of you took home an NFL playbook and we gave you a month you wouldn't understand half of it, let alone be able to teach it. 

This isn't me caping for Urban Meyer.  This is me caping for sanity! 

When you study Meyer, he notoriously took a year or two to establish his culture when he arrived in new environments.  I remember the first year at Florida like a bad dream.  Then he brought in the most successful recruiting class in the history of the school and was a laptop away from having one of the most iconic dynasties at the QB position in the history of the sport.  Urbans biggest mistake was trusting trent Balkee and the rest of the brain trust and not dying on the hill with his hand pick coaches and staff.  That would have eliminated the "sympathetic ear" dynamic that leads to descension, leaks, whining etc.  Even with all that, does anyone really believe that Urban Meyer would have been fired if it wasn't for some thirst trap blonde grinding on him and a disgruntled kicker dropping an article in the athletic?

Urban Meyer's not perfect.  He should have brought his own guys, but the idea that we should take the word of a group of players that averaged 2 wins over two seasons over a hall of fame Coach is asinine.  I firmly believe that Urban meyer is being crucified because he refused to either pee sitting down, or put his FIST UP as is the new prerequisite for sports leadership in America.  Just ask Jim Harbaugh.

Any excuse to run from the same responsibility that he expected from the players. Aint a REAL leader one who will not ask others to do what he himself won't. I forgot where I was this is the only place where a certain set of people can demand from others what they themselves won't do. Some have all kinds of leeway and excuse for [BLEEP] like this, but none for players who go out there on the field with the potential to get hurt calling them soft. There is a reason why Elite Coaches get paid what they do and you wonder why across the board the whole team regressed. Hell, the man has been fired and the Jags still can't get away from his stench. To give excuses to a man who talked crap about his assistant coaches but left while they were putting in the work or The same idiot who chose to stay in some restaurant or bar he owns in Ohio to finger some young chick while the team dealt with a tough loss. Soft I understand why those men cried and not broke that chicken [BLEEP] neck. It's telling you can tell who has never been in a situation where you haven't done anything to deserve what you are getting but can't say or do nothing to defend yourself A lot of us know how that feels. That's why the Highest doesn't sleep and it is reaping and sowing until he comes smh.
