I'm kinda surprised the media hasn't picked up on this angle, hear me out....
Sure they've rightfully pointed out all the arrests the Gator's had experienced under Meyer. That's all fair game; he's open to criticism. But what you don't hear? Well -- and it's just a guess on my part -- but don't you think Urban Meyer would've given his seal of approval on a guy like AHern, since Bill Belichick, a good friend, drafted him? I know there was a lot of criticism of Hernandez pre-draft. Rightfully so. But the Pats took a chance on him. But I have a hard time believing that Belichick would do this if Urban didn't say he approved of AHern, right? So, Bill wasn't just rolling the dice. He was -- or so he thought - making an educated-decision when drafting AHern. Right? I mean, he had a more stable connection to AHern, through Urban, than the other teams did. You'd think that would equate to more info, thus, a better decision....or so one would think.
So, do you think Urban really told Bill everything he knew on AHern? Or do you think he kinda stayed quiet on some stuff? And do you think Bill will believe Urban in the future (by drafting lots of Ohio State players)? Or will Bill even trust him at all?
Or, am I just over-thinking all this? I mean, Belichick wrote a letter to a judge about Dennard, and look how that turned out. Honest mis-judgement, right? So, could Urban have made the same kind of honest misjudgment on AHern, pre-draft, maybe?
