Lots of people like to blame successful people for things others do. It's a way of minimizing someone for something they had no control over. In other words, it's BS.

And if something is printed in the paper it ain't necessarily true at all. Evidence is manufactured to sell news. Stories are faked to get viewers. We see it all the time. So, again, I call BS.

Rolling Stone is now even lower than National Enquirer...

I know he has health issues, but I thought someone said he'd be willing to coach an Ohio NFL team, to stay close to home.

Percy Harvin, Aaron Hernandez, Janoris Jenkins, and Brandon Spikes to name a few.

Things were getting pretty hot on him when he suddenly had "health issues" down there.

Yeah, that's not a coach. What you are saying is that he's a bad baby sitter.

Meyer was known to let stars get away with breaking the rules.  There were multiple incidents of players getting into physical confrontations with coaches and each other.  When players had to miss a game because of a failed drug test Meyer would put them in a walking boot like they were injured. 

This was common knowledge among big SEC fans, but when Meyer left ESPN spoke to a few dozen players and other people connected to the program and did a scathing report on Urban.  Florida was "Thug U" under Urban.

And I bet after he leaves OSU there will be some "surprise news" about players in trouble.
