Stop reading about it then.

Not sure I understand this...

Urban quit on Florida because he knew he couldn't win anymore because his recruitment had gone to crap and Saban was king of the SEC. 

Then...

Take a deep breath, everyone. We'll get through this shocking revelation, this can't-be-true moment, together.
Urban Meyer has retired. Again.     
Meyer proclaimed Tuesday that he's leaving Ohio State because of health issues, and that he's done coaching. It's the same thing he said eight years ago after walking away from Florida.
Back then, in 2010, he walked away from a program cratered with entitlement run amok, roster manipulation, a drug problem in the locker room and more than 30 player arrests in six seasons.
On Tuesday, he walked away from a program that has had a brutal season off the field, including revelations of the reckless enabling of former assistant coach Zach Smith, whose alleged domestic violence (among other nefarious issues) while working for Meyer at both Florida and Ohio State left an indelible shame stain for all to see on one of the greatest coaches in the history of the sport.

Kinda chuckling on this one, because it does leave out those minor points of Meyer winning 2 national championships with Florida and 1 with Ohio State.

If he guides Jax to a Super Bowl win and then leaves the team in ruins in 2024 after resigning in disgrace?  Yeah, I think I'll take it.  Even if Tebow IS on that SB team.
