I love to hate him because he beat my beloved Buckeyes so yes there is bias in my statement. Before that heck no, how could any team not want him!! Now of course I have no say in OSU hiring process so if one day he would ever become the coach there no way would I not be a fan of the Buckeyes and I wouldn't root for him to fail either!enigmaax;592837 wrote:Before he quit this time - or if he hadn't quit the first time - would you have felt the same way? And just for the record, I get it, I'm not arguing the opinion. I just wonder if there's more to it or if that is the only issue you'd have.

“I have been a Division I football coach for the last 25 years and, during that time, my primary focus has been helping my teams win titles,” Meyer said. “I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, and I am a fierce competitor to my core. At this time in my life, however, I appreciate the sacrifices my 24/7 profession has demanded of me, and I know it is time to put my focus on my family and life away from the field. The decision to step down was a difficult one.
“But after spending more than two decades motivating and celebrating the young men I’ve been so proud to coach, I relish the opportunity to cheer for my three terrific kids as they compete in their own respective sports. I know how fortunate I am to be in a position to make this choice and to have a family that is as loving and supportive as my amazing wife and children have always been.”

I could be wrong, but I feel as though he's known he was stepping down after this season since last season ended.

He's financially set, won 2 national championships, brought a program back from the depths of Zook, and now gets to enjoy time with his family without having to worry about work at the age of 46. Seems to me like he made the right call.

I know things happen at every school, but I'm pretty sure that if DeVier Posey was caught in a parking lot firing an AK47, he wouldn't be playing at OSU anymore. He just seems like a guy that thinks he is the most important person in the room, no matter where he goes. There's no doubt he's a very good coach, and maybe I'm just spoiled by Tress, but I don't want to see him on the home side in the Horseshoe.
The below video shows why I don't care for Urban Meyer.
