I never liked Urban Meyer either, or Nick Saban for that matter. I understand that a coaches goal is to win no matter what. But I find their win at all costs mentality to be especially grotesque when taken into the perspective that they are coaching unpaid teenage students who they are supposed to be taking a part in developing into adults. There were 31 arrests of 25 different Florida Gators players in the 5 years Meyer coached there. After Meyer left Florida, Janoris Jenkins was dismissed from the team by new head coach Muschamp following 3 more arrests of Gator players just 1 month into Mushchamp taking over as coach. Jenkins was quoted as stating, "If (Meyer) was still the coach at Florida, I'd still be there." Then, there's the indifference he showed to Courtney Smith who was was being abused by her husband, Meyer's assistant coach Zach Smith, which Meyer likely knew about since Courtney had told Urban's wife about the abuse while Meyer was coach at Ohio State and got suspended for 3 games for.
As for Saban, I watched the 2018 National Championship between Alabama and Georgia when Mekhi Brown of Alabama punched a Georgia player on the field, and then went to the sideline and took a swing at one of his own assistant coaches. Did Nick Saban eject Brown from the game? No, because a National Championship was on the line, so he did not discipline Brown whatsoever, a player who had just assaulted one of Saban's own staff members. Instead, he kept him on the field so that he could make a huge special teams play later in the game and help Saban get that Championship which was the end all be all for him, discipline be damned.
