Urban Meyer's latest self-made mess might be the most difficult to overcome

Throughout his decades in college football, Urban Meyer earned his nickname one non-believable story, one bizarre explanation, one demonstrably untrue bit of hypocrisy at a time.

“Urban Liar.”

It’s not that Meyer occasionally manipulated the truth or pulled a scholarship offer on the recruiting trail or tried to paint himself in the best possible light. That is college football. That's par for the course.

No one makes it to the top of such a cutthroat profession by being a saint, no matter how much college sports likes to God up its coaches.
