No it's not. It's not always cut and dry like you need it.

So are you saying he never cited unrelenting expectations as a reason to move on?

Do you realize he went to the pros where the pressure and expectations are even higher? Where you have even less control? Less control with higher expectations isn't exactly a place a coach goes if he shies away from expectations.
If SOS went from UF straight to USC you would have an argument. He didn't. He went to freaking Washington under Dan Snyder.
If anything he was bored of college, not scared of the challenge.

He wouldn't beat Saban 3 out of 10 times.

Well unless Meyer posts here we know it's unsupported.
The "Meyer was scared of Saban" narrative arose solely to coddle people who were otherwise upset that he left.

No I know he mentioned that as I played under him for 2 years before Ron got there. Knowing him though I place it more so on his ego them the expectations from the fans. As Matt stated, pressure and expectations are much higher in the pros; especially with an owner like Snyder.

My argument isn't whether or not he was/is scared of Saban. I could personally give a rats ass. My comments were more about questioning his so called reasons for leaving only to turn up a year later. Not sure we are discussing the same thing here so I'm not sure if I misread your original post.

None of us know why he left, so I see no reason to inject our unfounded opinions as the truth.

How dare someone bring up a theory on a message board.

It's acceptable to bring up theories and opinions on a message board so long as the poster presents them as unequivocal fact.

That's all I have to say.
