To the sports reporter who covers the buckeyes for the past 25 years. He has reservations about Meyer. Here was his argument

1. Too many players at florida getting arrested.
2. He was only 7-5 when his team was full of guys he recruited.
3. He retires citing health reasons and then reconsiders the next day (sports reporter said that was fishy).
4. He retired again saying he wanted be with his family...but his daughters were already away at college (fishy again)
5. He then takes the job with OSU after retiring for his family.

I enjoy college football, but I dont know the nuts and bolts of everything associated with it. The sports reporter said this may not be a perfect marriage.

We shall see.
