"They came to this one-day peek at the Florida program hoping to feel a deeper connection with the coaches and the players. One of the first surprises was to discover that all the coaches --- and that includes Urban Meyer --- participate."
One of the big surprises Saturday was that Urban Meyer attended along with wife Shelley and the kids, but also that Meyer took the time to speak to the group. Thayer felt an instant magnetism and began to understand why high school football players want to be Gators.
“He’s a very inspiring man,” she said. “I could play for him and would be inspired to do a good job. He’s genuine. He’s sincere. He’s the real deal. You can see why the kids are inspired by him. He cares. He cares about the team and he’s not a self-promoter at all and you can see that he has such a big heart and he’s so compassionate.”
Asked then why some writers and radio talk show hosts seem to have an anti-Urban agenda, Thayer responded, “It’s envy in its purest form.”
I didn't get to attend the event this year, but from my past experiences I recommend it for our female members of Gator Nation: http://www.gatorcountry.com/football/article/football_101/9291
