Urban Meyer to retire following the Rose Bowl

[jaws]

I can't find the tweet now, but Meyer has the 3rd highest winning percentage of all-time for coaches with at least 10 seasons. Ahead of Osborne, Switzer, and Saban.

2018 Coach records - http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/football_records/2018/coaching.pdf

7th all time for all college coaches in all divisions.

3rd all time for FBS coaches.

Top 5 coaches of all time:

1: Osborne

2: Devaney

3: Osborne

4: Devaney

5 (tie): Bryant, Rockne, Saban, Switzer

Honorable Mention: Urban Meyer

Snake, but is a top 5 CFB coach of all-time. Ryan Day is a damn good coach as well but it's time for the takeover! 

As long as we keep talking about unethical and/or morally compromised characters as still being top ___ of all time, they'll keep being unethical and morally compromised.

Being a snake or not is part of being a top football coach. So for that reason, he shouldn't be top anything.

I'm glad to see that Urban was able to report his retirement to his AD successfully.

I was really looking forward to him looking dumbfounded on the sidelines the next 3-5 years.

Not surprised at all.  Especially after he said he was going to coach next year.

I have no formal medical/psychological training whatsoever.  Also, I am a most-of-the-time conspiracy theory skeptic (1985 NBA draft excepted).

But it sure looked to me like Myer's demeanor changed when he was asked something to the effect of "Is it your medical condition that is forcing you to retire?  Is it not manageable?"  (I'd have to watch again to get the exact phrasing.)  All of the sudden he was looking down and in different directions.  And (I think) kind of fiddling with the paper or whatever he had in front on him.

I believe those that know would consider those to be signs of inventing an answer as opposed to being truthful.

Wow. Maybe failure teaches good lessons. 

 

[skers83]

It doesn't say if he is teaching good character and leadership. Just teaching!

The part of the course on how to cover your tracks by deleting texts messages will be well received.

Zach Smith says Urban Meyer will coach at USC


"Someone that I know that works in the United States Postal Service dropped a bomb on me last week. He tells me that Urban Meyer’s house has had certified mail sent to and from the University of Southern California. I’m talking several letters. I don’t know that he has communicated with them, and it’s a decent source, I would put $1000 that he would be the head coach at USC in the near future."

Zach Smith says says things that have already been reumored - that Urban Meyer will coach at USC - because he likes to hear himself talk and hear people talk about him.
