Just heard on The Zone. He was asked this week about being dismissed from Florida and his comment was that if Urban was still the coach then he would still be a gator because Coach Meyer knows how to win. Found this a little telling. Go lions!

We need Jenkins back.

He's right. Meyer DOES know how to win.

65-15 record at Florida.

104-23 record overall.

I'm pretty sure any fanbase can deal with arrest records if there are 2 national titles in 3 years mixed in.

Right jspvol76?

Heard that too. Urban is pretty two faced in regards to his standing up against problems with student athletes, yet he had so many arrests. He won 2 NC's with a ton of arrests and resigns while bashing ongoing problems. Randy Shannon has zero arrests, but didn't win, so he was fired.
Here's the question: If we had the only options of being mediocre, yet have no off the field issues, or we win an NC, but have continuous arrest issues, which one do you take?

You take the national titles.

Fulmer wouldn't have been fired and run out of town by your fanbase if it wasn't about winning championships.

Of course you do. But a lot of people whine about arrests and integrity for the program, then whine that we don't win enough.

hey at least he admits he's willing to sacrifice the integrity of his university for the sake of national titles.

Who gives a s**t about the integrity of the university? Unless you went to the school, that is. Honestly, I am a FAN of the Vols sports teams. As long as they aren't killing, or seriously injuring, anyone, I could not care less about what happens with them except winning on the field. Same goes for the professional teams I am a fan of.

When you are a fan of a team, you want them to win. Period.

I disagree. Where do your morals and character stand? If you're unaffected then it doesn't matter?

No, but let's face facts. A balance has to be struck between promoting a program with kids who stay out of trouble, or one that is more permissive of when they make mistakes because history shows that the top athletes often make these kinds of mistakes.

It's a question of where you strike the balance.

I don't think that Meyer ever really claimed he was going to err on the side of being super strict. In fact, he told Notre Dame he wouldn't coach there if they didn't lower their academic requirements for football players because he knows that some of the players he would like to recruit won't measure up.

I personally hated Meyer's lax attitude about gun violence. Just made me cringe. But portraying Meyer as a hypocrite on the issue is simply inaccurate because he never claimed to be a strict disciplinarian.

Garbage.

Just cause he didn't go all "Tebow" on everyone with his WWJD propaganda, doesn't mean that he hasn't played himself up as some sort of saint.

Always talking about family and leadership and all that crap, it all applies to looking after the kids on the football team, he obviously was more concerned with winning then their best interests from time to time.

Integrity and discipline are not synonymous.

In fact, if you have integrity, theoretically you don't need much discipline. Meyer sometimes made such choices differently than I might have, but he has also often commented that trying to reach one of these kids and teach him something is a whole lot easier and more effective when he's on the team and in school.
