I have been meaning to post this article for several weeks but had forgotten about it. Regardless of what you think about Urban Meyer, it's a tremendously well written article about a man struggling with work-life balance and a number of other things. It hit home for me.

The book mentioned in the article, Lead...for God's Sake! by Todd Gongwer is excellent.

Urban Liar is a phoney, UF bent over backwards to accomodate him, and he left, leaving UF’s football program a mess.

Engage the family, or commit another NCAA violation? I wish I had the problem.

I’ve always thought it was grossly unfair to men to say:

1) you’re not a man unless you provide for your family

2) you’re not a man if you spend time away from your family in order to provide for them

Hopefully UCF will send Urbanator home to an early dinner on Saturday. Go Knights

I enjoyed Tebow’s book, and think Tebow is a fine fellow, but it was obvious he was at Florida to get a degree in football, not anything else.

The whole concept of top level college football being associated with “academics” is somewhat of a stretch.

Wow, that really hit home. Outstanding article, well worth the read. Thanks...

Despite demands of my career, I always put my family first. If I ever had to miss one of my sons’ games or performances, it tore me up. Same for my wife. And many times we had to split; one go to Aaron’s soccer game while the other went to James’ baseball game. I also coached baseball and basketball teams for them.

Maybe I’m lucky that God didn’t curse me with too many brains. Then I might have been put in a more demanding career situation, and wound up like Urban Meyer. I’m content with what I had, with no regrets.

IMHO Urban Meyer is an egotistical ass, and I’m sooo glad he went to OSU amd PSU got Bill OBrien, win or lose, a real man.

Urban liar, the man who claimed some sorts of medical (heart?) condition that made him have to stand down from his Fla job.

What a crock. If the man was having a heart condition because of the pressure what in the Hell is his wife doing letting him take the job at OSU, the school with possibly the worst, most driven to win at all costs, most unforgiving fans in the nation?

I asked that of myself when he took the job, only to hear his "medical condition", according to Fla rumors was a hot grad student that his wife found out about.

What a fraud.

For the record, I have NO relation to Urban Meyer.

I am more loosely tied to the suburban Meyer klan.
