Former head coach Urban Meyer, who’s won national championships at two major college programs, has a way of inserting himself into whichever national narrative is at play in the moment. Recently, that’s been the controversy surrounding Texas Longhorns edge rusher Colin Simmons, who pretended to pee on an opposing player following a game-shifting sack.
In the days after the play, Meyer said in a post that’s been shared across socials, per The Triple Option podcast, “If I’m the head coach, and I see
that kid do that, he’s out, I’m suspending him.”
Is it a fair take?
