The read
From my mid-week column in the Athens Banner-Herald ...
And what does this say about his truthfulness? Meyer was criticized for a well-publicized recruiting flap during his first year at Florida when he told Jevan Snead, the current quarterback at the University of Mississippi, that he only wanted Tim Tebow to play linebacker for him. Of course, two national titles and one Heisman Trophy later, Tebow is set to leave the school as one of the greatest quarterbacks ever to play the game.
Yet that bit of truth-stretching pales in comparison to the blatant dishonesty he peddled to his family. After the drama of Saturday night, Meyer's resignation was supposed to be so certain that his wife sent a text message to a reporter with The Orlando Sentinel on Sunday morning that said there was "no way" her husband would reconsider resigning.
Just a few hours later, without consulting with his family, Meyer changed his mind, notified his wife from the airplane and threw his loved ones under the bus.
