Nope. That's not what I said. Who knows? Maybe I grind up baby ducks for fun. But on this issue? Yeah, I think anyone who supports Meyer as a person is shitty. That's an oversimplified and horrific view of the responsibility of someone in an educational role. I wouldn't trust my kid with him, you, or anyone who shares this view. Plenty of parents, I'm sure, regret that they did so. Just because you can try to rationalize it doesn't mean that you don't suck.
Not trying to come of as sounding condescending, but I have literally never heard Urban described as an "awful" human being. Please enlighten me.

These aren't children, they're legal adults. We call them kids. I'm about to turn 36 and generally refer to anyone younger then myself as "kid". I am also a parent of 4 and sure as hell hope that when my child is 18 and playing major D1 sports, that a coach doesn't coddle him. Teach him the game. Give him a fair shake. Any life lessons or anything that happens along the way is just icing.
PFF ranked Jacoby Brissett, Josh McCown , and Blake Bortales ahead of Deshaun Watson for last season.
That's just it. He's NOT in an educational role. He's a fucking football coach. The University President, Deans, Department Heads and proffessors are there to provide the educational environment. I personnally don't know Urban Meyer as a person (and probably neither do you) so I won't judge him as a person. But I do see what he can do as a football coach and, based on that, I'll support him all day long.
That's nice. Well if there were any doubts left about your blatant "douchebaggery", they are certainly cleared up now....wow. Seriously dude, who the hell do you think you are???
I appreciate that - I'm not trying to be condescending either. I'm about to leave the office after another 10+ hour day, so I am going to defer this to either later or tomorrow - it's that lengthy of a rapsheet. However, I quickly googled "urban meyer bad person", and everything on the first page seemed to give some of the reasons that Urban Meyer is an awful human being. I'll leave that reading to you, for now, until I have a chance to get back to this (note: Google often changes priority of search results, so your first page might look different than mine, but I'd wager you'll find reading material). This isn't a matter of coddling or being given a fair shake. Read some of the accounts of Meyer and his coaching - not only do I think this issue goes well beyond what you're talking about, I think it also runs directly counter to what you're talking about. If that's the kind of coach you want, you don't want Urban Meyer (see: well-documented tenure at FL). An 18-22 year-old who has likely never been in a major facilitatory structure, or maybe even had proper role models, etc., needs this institution, and it sincerely shapes who they are. Think back to when you were that age... You were a completely different person at 23, say, than you were at 18. Let's not pretend like those weren't formative years of your development. They are, both anecdotally/socially and biologically. And, when those years are spent almost entirely with the football program, that program is responsible for them. Define "coach", for me. I always thought it was someone that taught something. Considering that I've been a teacher / coach for a decade, I might be wrong, but I don't think I am. I'm curious as to why we have two different conceptions of the thing. What's your definition?
I'm a person telling you what I think, same as you are. I don't really care if you don't like me. My words are worth considering, whether you like them or not. I'll do the same for you, as I do everyone. For the record, I don't actually grind up baby ducks, if that's what's got you upset.
No idiot, it wasn't the baby ducks. Geesh.....It was your declaration that the millions of people that love and support Urban Meyer as head football coach of THE Ohio State University are all "shitty people", just because your sorry ass doesn't like him...
Here is the truth coming from experience and dealing w recruiting the last 10 yrs or so...there are many broken families where these kids don’t have a father figure...their only chance is a scholarship(academic or athletic) to attend college...you need to win over the mother w trust and a feeling that her son will get the discipline and father head that will have him mature over the next 3-4 yrs of his life where if football isn’t in his future he will get his education and make a man of himself to raise a family w a successful job....again this is my experience in dealing w this issue and if anybody thinks otherwise I can’t help u
It’s that way....one of my players played there on the OL....let’s just say he turns the other cheek on the
better than turning the other cheek on the raping and sexual assaulting? He still has to be doing SOMETHING because we still see prominent players being reprimanded. If he was such a bad guy he wouldn't land a top 5 recruit class every year. Especially in the 24-hour-news-cycle-times in which we live. Nothing is hidden anymore. There's not 'keeping it out of the paper' like there used to be.
Actually, my post quoted yours exactly as it was presented. You edited it post-response to change "he" to "DJ". This is just example number 2,501,347 why no one takes you seriously. EDIT (ironically): I should add it's not 'editing' your post that is the problem. It's editing your post after a response and then trying to attack someone based on a change you made. SS: "he" SAS: 'he' was actually Dalvin Cook SS: *changes 'he' to 'DJ'* SS: boy, wut an idiot!! i told u it wuz DJ and u braught up dalvin cook #rookieoftheyear for some reason! wut a dope!
What his college-aged players do out of season is on them. In-season, they're getting tested on the reg, so "one of your players" is bumming pee off another student if he's smoking weed during that time - which says more about "one of your players" than it does Urban Meyer.
