I actually understand some of the reactions here. My problem was with Matt Hayes calling Florida "a broken program." Man, a lot of programs across the country would love to be broken if he's accurate in his assessment. Fortunately for you guys (y'all, gotta know my audience) he's completely wrong.
He writes this article on Meyer in April, then the Gators go 11-2 and are ranked top-5 in the country most of the season. That's one hell of a broken program. And Meyer winning two crystal balls while in Gainesville is going to help y'all for ages. He helped further establish you as one of the premier programs in college football.
I don't mind you guys giving me grief over the "butt-hurt" comment. I was making a joke about what the The Sporting News editor's note could have looked like. Just trying to add some levity to the piece. Clearly, there should have been something added so the average reader knew they were hearing this from a Florida alumnus. At least when people read my stories, they know I write for an Ohio State site. I'm not trying to hide where I went to school. Why not add an editor's note letting everyone know that Hayes is a UF alumnus? Oh, might come off as a slanted article.
But the facts are the facts. Hayes tried to say that Florida's football program is broken. He's obviously wrong. And it was an obvious attempt to bash Urban Meyer, unfairly IMO.

So because Florida went 11-2 this year the program clearly wasn't broken? I mean, did it ever occur to you that it was broke and Muschamp fixed it?
Or are you saying because Meyer left Muschamp some good talent on defense that the program wasn't broken?
Either way, I don't get it. I don't hate Meyer. I appreciate everything he did for us. With that said, the article was slightly unprofessional and I don't agree with the logic behind it.
