OT - If you needed more evidence than AH that Urban Meyer is a total POS

[Jax Husky]

Here it is. He apparently reported violations on a Florida coach that he had originally brought to UF. This guy is maybe the scummiest coach this side of Calipari....http://network.yardbarker.com/colle...ations/13962166?linksrc=home_rg_head_13962166

He ran such a con on everyone during his time there. No one could, or wanted to see past the Tebow story to look at just what a criminal operation he was running.

I am amazed (didn't think this was possible until very recently) at what I have been reading and I cannot wait to see what eventually comes out of the woodwork due to this.

It appears (and we have only seen what can be directly linked to AH at the moment) that in Gainesville, if any altercation occurred that involved football players, no charges would be pressed and nothing would be pursued by the authorities. This appears worse than late 1980's Oklahoma (which I had believed was as bad as things could get without someone stepping forward).

The OSU will in short order need to take a look at how they want the public to view their university and their reaction will tell the world where they stand (keep Urban, football is more important than integrity, can him, principles do matter).

I can only think that if AH had gone to UConn, either he would have learned to toe the line (highly unlikely) or he would have been gone before the first semester ended.

I don't think he would have lasted too long at all under Edsall. In fact, I now wonder if RE didn't cool off towards the end of his recruitment having "learned" some things about AH. That is pure speculation, but from what we know of RE, he would not stand for the thuggish behavior exhibited early on in AH's career in Gainesville.

The difference in being "big" versus being us: we kicked several players off the team for buying a six-pack of beer (averaging one beer per kid). Urban Meyer kids murder people and are not even sent to "time-out".

You know, this exact thought crossed my mind very briefly the other day. I think RE might have continued a full-court press on Hernandez if DJ wasn't about to graduate. Without his older brother around to keep him out of trouble, RE might have deemed it too risky to pursue.

Has Aaron Hernandez supplanted Tim Tebow as symbol of Urban Meyer's Gators?, Orlando Sentinel

Absolutely. The multiple reports of Hernandez and other players being involved in fights, shootings, and gang related nonsense but never being so much as brought in for one night of jail time are way too troubling for Meyer's legacy. The importance of a Tim Tebow on his Gator teams cannot be overstated enough. Tebow media darling coverage covered up the true identity of Urban Meyer - Gangster Thug Program.

The point is this: Tebow was the great deodorizer for a Meyer program that often reeked from the stench of players running afoul of the law. If I've written it once, I've written it a million times: Whenever one of Urban's outlaws would get arrested for running up charges on a dead woman's credit card; or would steal a $1,500 laptop computer and then throw it out the window when police arrived; or would get shot with a Taser while trying to elude the cops; or would open up the trunk of his car and pull out an AK-47 and begin firing it into the air, the Gators could always point to Tebow bringing a smile to a dying kid's face at a cancer ward; or preaching to inmates at the local prison; or providing food and medical supplies to orphan children in the Philippines.

Wow, don't hold back Orlando Sentinel....so glad this is all coming to light. SEC fans have known of Mayers sleaziness from the get-go

 

[Nostical]

Meyer's actions in Gainsville were what's wrong with the sport but here's the problem. Take a poll of Maryland fans and ask who they'd prefer--Randy Edsall who's been cleaning up the thug elements in their program--or Urban Meyer who wins, often by looking the other way.
There are a lot of holier than thou Florida media types crying foul now who would have been all over Meyer if he'd been 8-4. They got what they wanted. Where was the outcry when the Gators were flying high?

Two out of three UF's football championships are now tarnished as it can get. Can only imagine how much trash talk UF fans will get not from other SEC fanbases.

Today's New York Post:

"On Meyer’s watch, at least 30 full scholarship recruits were arrested for crimes that included aggravated stalking, aggravated assault, felony burglary, felony theft, violation of a restraining order following a sexual assault and possession of a concealed, illegally owned firearms.
And though current murder suspect Aaron Hernandez, another Meyer recruit, was not arrested while playing at Florida, it now seems — following reports he punched a bouncer over an unpaid bar bill, destroying the guy’s ear drum — he beat a serious rap."

 

[Adios]

And Urban is saying blaming him is wrong. I forgot, but who's in charge of the ship?

This is when you know you are big-time college program... you own the cops in the area. The chief reports directly to the head coach.

 

[dsturdy5]

If you want to laugh, follow Albert Breer of NFL-N on twitter. He's an OSU apologist and everything out of any orifice of Meyer's is gold. Today he claims that the media and fans are starting to blame Belichick. Um, no. No one up here is doing that. Only db mediots who are looking for "hot new angles" on the matter.

In my mind, AH made his own bed and needs to lie in it. Meyer could have snapped the whip long ago and didn't.

 

[Nostical]

The fact that Urban Meyer highly vouched for Hernandez to Belichick is troubling. Highly recommending anyone for a job is always a touchy move. With knowledge of AH's sketchy (to say the least) past, Meyer did his coaching friend no favors.

The hits just keep on coming....41 players from the 2008 Gators title team have been arrested. 41 separate players with arrests. Wow is all I can say:
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/07/s...rida-in-the-meyer-years.html?ref=sports&_r=3&

The 2008 team provides a window into Florida football during that period. Tim Tebow was the star, a full-fledged phenomenon as beloved for his strong faith and motivating personality as for his on-field dominance. But a number of players on the team did not live up to Tebow’s ideal.
A roster on the university’s Web site lists 121 players, 41 of whom have been arrested, either in college or afterward, and sometimes both. That number included 16 players on that season’s final two-deep roster, nine of whom were starters, as well as a kicker, punter and returner. Several of those players went on to the N.F.L., and one, Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, later won the Heisman Trophy playing for Auburn

It's amazing to me that people are just now seeing this. It's been common knowledge down here for awhile that the guy ran pretty much the worst program imaginable. Tebow made the guy bulletproof, along with plenty of help from ESPN.

Yep, as an LSU fan living here in SEC country, the stories about Meyer having ZERO rules or discipline were all over the place. Glad to see it finally coming home to roost. Guy is a piece of . His "bible studies" just make it even worse.

Nothing can ever top his "we take only the top one percent of the top one percent" line.
