Urban Meyer, Tim Tebow, Aaron Hernandez, Percy Harvin and the rise and fall of the Florida Gators

 

"[Meyer] allowed players to do what they wanted, which is why the program is still getting fixed," Young said. "He allowed players to run amok."

 

There were occasions when players practiced during the week, only to miss a game while wearing a protective boot on the sideline. It was suspected in the locker room that those players had failed a drug test. A.J. Jones estimates a "good amount" of Gators failed school-administered drug tests or feared they would. Another player says at least a dozen key players were in that category, despite creative efforts to beat those tests. In 2012, the Sporting News reported that Meyer publicly stated players were hurt when they were actually sitting out a game because of the university drug-testing protocol.

When I was at Gainesville, I toured all the football facilities, etc. One thing that stood out...there's really no sign of Urban Meyer.

It's almost basketball season in Lexington, as usual you all focus on your savior Urban Meyer, you never post anything on Nick Saban though.. He's not the one giving you all the Ohio recruits.

Denial. More than a river in Egypt.

 

Maybe ol Urb has cleaned up how he runs a program in CBus. How he did things at Florida were deplorable...

JA, ESPN has jealous Kentucky fans working for them I guess.

 

It has nothing to do with him being at Ohio State.

 

When he was at Florida he was a low-class slime-ball who pretty much let his players do whatever the hell they wanted.

I wasn't trying to take a shot at Urban Meyer, I was just stating a fact. There are statues of Steve Spurrier and every other significant figure in Florida football history. I'm not sure there was even a picture of Urban Meyer.

What do you expect he has a degree from the University of Cincinnati.

Ah, there it is. Have no way of disputing what was said so you attack the school of the person making the statement. Like clockwork.

Those types seldom change their stripes but maybe he learned from his time at Florida. Now I'm a betting man but that's one wager I wouldn't touch.

He wasn't smart enough to handle the situation at Florida. He's (Meyer) said it himself, he wasn't smart or good enough to get into OSU. Sorry to share reality.

Nobody ever trashes Miami coaches or FSU coaches for their handling of Florida talent, Stoops is pretty familiar with it himself.

So he's smart enough now to handle the situations at OSU? Did he continue his education at OSU? His degree from UC hasn't changed...

Have you been living under a log or are you just intentionally being difficult? The past 2 years we didn't have thread after thread about Jimbo Fisher and how awful things were at FSU??

What situations at OSU?

So he's an idiot. Reality? Got ya... :thumb:
