Having been in sales for the past ten years, the best salesmen always adapt to the customer. For a family in your situation the idea is always to get the customer to believe they've made the decision. Any kind of hard sell will not work in this case, he knows this. Again, anyone who has any kind of reasonably high level sales experience will tell you the same thing, it's an act. And the best make it seem 100% genuine. And again, look at what he said before he left Utah and how that played out. Look at the complete cluster- he perpetrated on Florida the last 12 months he was there (including flat-out lying to recruits from his last class). The well established reality of recruiting is that you cannot judge genuineness. It's unfortunate, but it's the truth. If you want to judge Urban Meyer when it comes to how genuine/truthful he his, just do the research. There are many people who covered him for more than enough time and they are relatively unanimous in their opinion of him when it comes to his truthfulness.
I'm not saying Penn State is clearly the best choice. I don't believe that. I believe you can get a good education and be happy playing football at most good D1 schools across this country. Ultimately, your college experience is what you make of it, most of the time at least. But Meyer is not a coach I would want my son playing for, simply because I could not trust a single thing out of his mouth. And I say that because I've read all the articles and all his quotes and it's firmly established the man will say just about anything, regardless of the truth. And even worse, at the end of the day I think he probably rationalizes all his lies and doesn't think any less of himself.

lol, I think Chris knows our feelings about Meyer by now. But if it's not about the coaches for Alex, I don't see the the appeal for OSU. Standford has superior academics and if he really wants to push himself Penn State's HC is there. I've never heard of any OSU football players doing HC, but for a normal degree all they really need to do is show up for class. Apparently that is asking too much sometimes. Well I hope you guys had a good trip and make it back up to State College again. Thanks for the info.

PSU's hc entails a lot more requirements outside of the classroom (i.e., research) than other school's hcs, and the coaches haven't made an effort to see if it can happen, etc. OSU and UF are the major players who have been able to confirm that he'll be able to do their hc and get an MBA during his time there. PSU's hc is obviously superior, but it's kinda a reach for Alex. UM, Fickell, and Vrabel seem to be pretty buddy-buddy with Alex, but the coaching staff isn't a primary factor in his decision. We'll see what happens tomorrow. From what I've seen thus far, OSU is hard to beat... But this isn't coming from a die-hard fan of any particular school. So I think my assessment is relatively objective.

The funny thing is that the majority of you talk shit about UFM but on the flip side if he decided to coach at your school all of you would think he walks on water. It's one kid in a long battle. It's only April. Maby months to go. In the words of Bo Ryan "deal with it"
