I'm gonna sound like an *******, but so be it. Nothing would make me happier. He truly is a despicable person.
Just about all championship-level college coaches have to be ruthlessly ambitious, power-hungry snake oil salesmen, who are publicly sanctimonious while privately turning a blind eye to all manner of shady stuff. You don't get to the top of that profession without being able to check all those boxes. I'm not sure that Urban Meyer is that much more despicable than the rest of them, than it's just that for whatever reason he hasn't hidden it behind a folksy, aw-shucks persona like most of the others.
There is no doubt this is true. However, Meyer is a proven liar and is all about himself to an extent worse than anybody. And I disagree about a hidden persona. Remember how he use to play the religion card all the time? Or his whole "it's all about the kids" routine and then just chews them out when he's done? I'd rather have Bobby ****ing Petrino as the coach at UT than Urban Meyer.
(I'm also slightly biased seeing he has coached against Tennessee and Michigan).
