COLUMBUS, Ohio — Having just wrapped up his 14th season as a head coach, Urban Meyer knows better than to compare.
After all, what's the upside to setting unfair expectations on one of his players to be the next Tim Tebow, or on one of his teams to be the next 2008 Florida Gators? Meyer's seen those unrealistic standards devour "the next Percy Harvin," and even his own expectations for seasons before.
So when the fourth-year Ohio State head coach broke his own rule and compared his outlook of the 2016 season to that of a recent Buckeyes team, it should have raised some eyebrows.
