Hey now. Florida fans will be forever grateful for Meyer winning a title with Zook's guys, then winning another a couple years later with his own. He is a fantastic coach and recruiter, nobody can argue against that. It's the way he left that left a bad taste in our mouths. After he retired, then unretired, came back for a lame duck season where he clearly didn't give a shit about anything because he regretted coming back and was counting the days til the end of the season so he could "retire" again. THAT is the shit that pissed us off.
We had a ridiculous amount of drama inside the locker room and out. Guys constantly getting in trouble, upperclassmen vs underclassmen, a pocket QB against a slot receiver against a tight end all battling for snaps at quarterback which led to even more division in the locker room, coaches getting in fights with players, you name it. The dive-dive-sack-punt offense they continued to trot out there game after game. No discipline or accountability whatsoever. That team was so fucking dysfunctional and Meyer did NOTHING about it. His heart clearly wasn't in it anymore and to add salt to the wound, very few recruits stuck around for the new staff after all that shit.
I'm sure there's a very small percentage of Florida fans that cried about Meyer being a terrible coach or whatever, and I'm sure they are all morons. But every college team has a small percentage of douchebag idiot fans, and Ohio State is certainly no exception. As a diehard lifelong Florida fan, believe me when I say the majority of Gator fans are extremely proud of what Meyer accomplished, despite the embarrassment the program suffered as a result of his final season there. If he would have just stayed retied his image wouldn't have been tarnished. Either way, he's still a great coach that Florida fans were lucky to have for a few years.
