Playing in the UEFA Cup against Brondby so soon after joining Haka was a good experience. I was playing well then dropped out the picture. The fans had taken to me and couldn’t understand why I wasn’t playing and thought I was injured. Outside agents benefited from the move more than me. I’ll never know the details but there were underlying reasons why I didn’t play.”

During his time in Utah, Meyer won the Fiesta Bowl. He also helped Alex Smith gain attention as a quarterback, and he was considered a first-round pick in the 2005 NFL Draft as a result. By 2005, both the University of Florida and the University of Notre Dame were desperate to sign Urban as their new head coach. The Gators offered Meyer a $14-million contract, which convinced him to choose the University of Florida. Under his leadership, the Gators performed well on the field, but the players’ behavior off the field caused widespread concern and controversy. 31 of his players were arrested, with charges ranging from possession of a concealed weapon and aggravated assault to domestic violence and fraudulent use of credit cards.

An investigation found that Urban had known about Smith’s domestic issues prior to the wide receivers coach’s firing, but failed to take any disciplinary measures against him. Ohio State was in a bit of a tough position, as they would have had to pay Meyer an additional $38 million if they chose to fire him. Because he had already served a three-game suspension, Ohio State’s decision to fire him would have been seen as “without reason.” Fortunately for the university, Urban made life easy for everyone when he decided to retire of his own accord. This meant that both parties ended the agreement without additional payments. Real Estate: In 2012, it was announced that Urban Meyer had purchased a home in Ohio worth $1.45 million. The seven-bedroom residence features an outdoor pool, and it sits in a gated community close to the seventh green of a local golf course.
