I don't agree with how he handled the situation, it makes him look like an idiot when he says one thing and then does another within a short timespan.
LOL, I'm not getting anything in a "bunch" over this, in fact I don't care but, if you think there hasn't been any shots taken at Meyer in this thread, you're either blind or can't read.:-/

Are you confusing shots with opinions?

My opinion is that Meyer is a liar and his idiotic decisions over the past two months have been ridiculous.

Some may consider that a shot but its an opinion. I think there is something more to this story and I hope we eventually find out.

It's no longer an "opinion" if its a fact. (Now that's a shot...and please mark me down for taking it).

He has legitimate, documented health concerns, but he loves coaching SO MUCH that he tried, for a day and a half, to completely un-involve himself from coaching and he couldn't even do it, much to the chagrin of his family.

If that makes him a joke, then what are you guys? Complete embarrassments to the human race?
I am not sure anyone is discounting his health issues. But again, at least to me...the "timing" of it all as far as announcing. During the bowl week? He could have easily waited another week. He took all the press away from the game and the players. I could care less about this rings. Good for him. As I said, he is a great coach. But the timing of what he did, was POOR judgement and classless IMO.

Devil, my "hahahahah" wasn't implying that YOU were taking shots, it was laughing at the fact that you said no shots have been taken. Shots have been taken, but it doesn't mean they were from you.

Certainly shots have been taken. And when you make a choice to do what Meyer has done, quit, come back, leave , then not...you open yourself up to shots, and deservingly so. National media is taking their shots as well. It is what it is....and comes with the territory when you make a hasty decision and then change it multiple times after holding all the press at bay during bowl week.

I gotta Glock 9 with enough rounds to take shots all day. If only he'd quit hiding behind that big slow kid with the #15 jersey so I could get a better bead on his lyin', classless, cheatin' head.

Just wondering here, can you find me an example of the national media taking a shot? I'm not exactly sure what you mean by the national media is taking shots...

And I'm not asking for a blogger, I'm asking for someone who would be part of the national media, i.e. a newspaper, ESPN, AP, etc.

Choosing to spend free time discussing this stuff is hardly "waisting" one's time (I sure hope you don't have a ND education showing itself there) if it's something you feel like doing.

Oh, and saying Meyer is a liar isn't taking a shot. It's stating a documented fact.

Here we go, bring ND in to the equation when they have nothing to do with the topic.......typical of the ilk!

Tiernan, anytime, anywhere.......I'll flip a coin with you for your net worth!

If by "ilk" you mean people who can't stand arrogant, self-righteous, self aggrandizing (oh and very delusional) Domers -- then yes. I'm part of that "ilk".

just curious, if he in fact is a *liar* or did in fact *lie* why does that bother you?

do you not believe other ncaa division 1 coaches fabricate stories to lure in 5 star recruits?

ill hang up and listen.

Seems pretty dum to me.
A discussion means there are two sides to the argument, and rational discourse.

That never happens here.

When everyone's just one one side and all agrees, and just goes off on the few with differing opinions, its called a circle jerk.

Very well written and right on the mark, as far as I'm concerned.

As why I "care" whether or not Urban's a liar -- I think I already said I detest liars; especially those who use the lies to make themselves look (1) good (2) better (3) sympathetic.

Do all college coaches lie?

I doubt it.

I'm sure many of them do, but I haven't seen any do it on the scale this was done.
