Meyer changes his mind; what about his intensity?
It took a lot of pain to teach Urban Meyer a simple lesson: He needed to slow down. Whether it sticks is another matter. Peel back the drama of the last 24 hours and the only thing that’s really changed is Meyer’s acknowledgment that he couldn’t go on like this forever. He is still the head football coach at Florida.
