Why Is Meyer Receiving Praise For His Decision? A Action That Came To Late In My Opinion.

So i'm listening to the radio about 8 hours after the announcement that Florida Gator football coach Urban Meyer said he was going to step down effective after the gators upcoming bowl game. The guy on the radio, I can't remember his name, but he was filling in for Jason Smith, on Jason Smith's all night radio show. This guy was basically praising Meyer for the decision saying this was a real men decision to step away from his prestigious job, and step away from millions to take care or spend more time with his family blah blah blah, and it seems everyone is. He also started to bash callers that was texting and emailing in, basically Gator fans that was upset of his decision, now i'm not against the guy for what he did, cause quite honestly I can careless, but for a reason I can't tell you to, here this guy basically praise Urban Meyer for this decision kind of got under my skin. If I heard correctly, Urban Meyer kids are adults and a 2nd year college student, high school senior on the way to college. He does have a young son, which is his youngest that about 12 if i'm not mistaking. Make no mistake I see you giving the man SOME respect, but your giving this guy respect as if your praising him. How could you? No it's never too late to be a father to your kids, or your fatherly duties don't stop after your kid turns 18, but to be the father that requires you to leave your job, it's too late for that! I'm not a bitter Gator fan, I'm actually a Vols fan, so i'm glad to see this happen for the september showdown. I'm also a College student with no kids, and after high school you start to find your own way in life and grow not apart from your parents, but into your own adult self, don't try to praise this guy as if he some kind of trendsetter or something to say he's a good remodel for this, I disagree tremendously. He continue to say he never made it to none of his girls sports games, or been able to celebrate some their accomplishment. Urban how about being at the dinner table every night, how about seeing your kids every night before they go to bed, or been able to ask them how they day went, and when it was a problem having a face to face sit down and not over the phone. Make no mistake I'm not involved in this man everyday life, but I have a good understand of how time consuming his job can be. Sorry Urban but you lost that time, you lost the most important times, the time you some reason think is still there, you will soon find out it's not. Urban Meyer going to find himself sitting at home board out of his mind, or getting on his son nerves trying to hard to make up for lost time, the girls are gone, they're off into college living that college student life, and as athletes they don't have much time for you for this reason I don't see him coaching this year but won't be surprise if he was back next year. In closing, I seriously believe this is the way of the american parent now days. Urban Meyer situation is much different because of who he is and the profession he's in, but its all similar in the same way. The American parent now days are confused, I know you got to make the money to pay the bills, but don't try to be a parent when it's too late, it more to being a parent then taking care of all your kids financial needs, and seem most parents learn that too late, at least the older parents, don't try to build a stronger bond with your kids, when they're adults and out in the world on their own. I know you wonder if they'll resent you for, and if there bitter about, all that floats around in your head. Well let me be the one to tell you that yes they will, you trying to make it all better would only make it worst. As for young parents, your mistake and inability to be a good parent started when you got pregnant for most of you, now you still trying to live the life of a young adult in your 20's and leave the child with someone else while you club, date, and do whatever else it is you do beside be a good parent, but we gone save that topic for a whole new day. As for Urban Meyer, I don't know the man,I can't call him a bad parent, I'm quite sure his kids never needed anything and even though it more to been a parents, most parents can provide that for their kids. All i'm saying is that, your reasoning for stepping away now, would've been much better had you did say about 10 years ago, now I can't see it benefiting anybody not even your self-concious.
