These guys are just wired differently - with his money, it’s an easy call if it was me/my family.
Urban Meyer reveals seriousness of cyst in his brain, wants to keep coaching: Doug Lesmerises
>>Along those lines, Ohio State also provided this statement from Dr. Andrew Thomas, Meyer's personal physician.
"The past four years, we've been working closely with Coach Meyer to monitor and manage the symptoms that have risen from his enlarged congenital arachnoid cyst. This includes aggressive headaches, which have particularly flared up the past two years."
It was difficult to pull quotes from Meyer about what has gone on, but several things became clear through the course of a conversation in which Meyer didn't want to overplay or underplay what is happening with him.
1. His condition is serious.
2. He has managed his health since the 2014 surgery, and these days that includes daily medication. The Buckeyes won the national title 10 months after his first surgery and are 56-7 in the five seasons since the surgery.
3. As with many medical conditions, the issue with his cyst is incurable and progressive. It has been managed by medication and that 2014 surgery, and Meyer may at some point have other treatment options to consider.
4. Ohio State is his dream job, and he has no desire to leave it.
"I am fully committed to Ohio State and the football program for as long I can," Meyer said.<<
