He did this to a grown man. Imagine how bad he treated college players who needed the scholarship and wanted to play.

[@LunaticTheCat]

As an Ohio State fan, this was my immediate thought to this all

[@EJD339]

@@LunaticTheCat I’m just surprised more college players didn’t say anything about Urban after college. You’d figure people would speak up now that they didn’t have anything to lose. He nah have not been like this in college but I’m assuming he was lol.

[@willielittle9301]

I remember when an Ohio State LB was found dead in a campus dumpster several years ago when Urban Meyer was the HC. I am not blaming coach Meyer for this tragedy but I am wondering how disengaged that he may have been from this kid to not realizing that this kid needed his intervention and help outside the football field. A coach must always be aware of the physical and psychological well-being of ALL his players.

[@adamdooley3044]

Not surprised. Winning = more power to this dude. And that's all he cared about. How do you not know you have an Aaron Hernandez on your team except you are winning? (This all coming from a Gator, I hate this guy!) If it were up to me despite the retaliation the NCAA should shed the titles under his tenure and let the players take it out on him for ruining their shining moment. Guy is an investigation away from.being on the sex offender list in my opinion based on the way he operates. And listening to player stories it sounds like he is way passed die coming home missing teeth and bleeding out his ears the way he talked to the guys he depends on and is hired to gameplan for.

[@eliwoods5583]

That’s a good point. Could make the same case for Aaron Hernandez. He was involved in a number of incidents at Florida and Urban seemed to give no f*cks

[@satan899]

“If you have a problem with me KICKING YOU, then you keep it to yourself and you tell me privately” LMFAO the dimensions of how fucked up that statement is on a new level.

[@josephhuston7590]

I told my wife when we heard this happened before they said who it happened too.I told her it had to be a kicker/punter.Anyone else would have left him on the ground.I was born in Columbus and have lived within forty miles of it over my lifetime.All of the news networks here have their heads so far up OSU's behind it's pitiful.And it's because OSU will blackball them if they don't.They will refuse to report anything negative unless it is already being reported nationally.

[@patrickgray5633]

Joseph Huston I’m as big a Buckeye fan as anyone but your 100% right I knew when they hired him it wasn’t gonna end well. You saw what happened controversy & I laughed when Jacksonville hires him I said this won’t be good needless to say he destroyed what was left of his reputation.

[@reeder1962]

great rant. notice how none of his former players are not coming to meyer's defense. can't wait for the stories that will come out of ohio state and florida about how abusive meyer really was.

[@Fremen2]

My son played FCS ball. One of the schools that recruited him the coach (position coach) was on those Florida teams that Urban won a title with. I said to him "must have been something being on those great teams". Dude rolled his eyes and proceeded to talk about how f'd up those teams were describing several ludicrous situations. So for me, this comes as no surprise.

Urban Fired was a bit of a bully. Then he started working with grown dudes with plenty of cash who he could not mess with.

[@neilopfer5687]

So that's why I didn't get that NFL Head Coaching job that I wanted. When they asked me in the interview what would I do if I had a kicker not making his kicks, I told them I would kick the kicker to emphasize he needed to make his kicks. As a followup, they then asked me what if the kicker doesn't like it then I would tell the kicker "I'm the Head Ball Coach and I can do whatever I want!!" Sure wish after hearing this about Urban Meyer that I could get an NFL interview do-over!! One hears a lot of whacked out things either said or done in sports in general but this "kicking the kicker" is right up there in my Top 10 along with Gregg Williams (17-31 as Buffalo's Head Coach) back in 2018 taking over the Cleveland Browns who said he'd been offered 4 NFL Head Coaching Jobs where he did not have to even interview. Note to Gregg: Please forward the names of those 4 NFL teams STAT to Urban Meyer so he doesn't have to interview. That way with no interview these other NFL teams won't have to awkwardly ask Urban Meyer if he had any "player issues" or "work-ethic issues" (aka Columbus OH Chop House Incident) at his old job.

(Yes, the internet has existed since the sixties technically but the not become what it was until the late nineties at least... CompuServe, AOL, or Prodigy were the only games in town in those days) Those Steven Seagal movies were pretty wild!
