There's bound to be backlash from the trolls for sure, but I'll never slight Coach looking out for the best interests of his family: http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_college_uf/2009/12/urban-meyer-avoided-hospital-details-to-protect-family.html
Here's a better perspective from Ben Volin at the PBP. Huge props to Urban for making this statement:
“I think at some point, whether you’re a football coach, whether you’re a lawyer or whatever, you think at some point there would be a lot of respect for families involved,” he said. “If that means not coming clean with full details about something very personal, if you can’t understand that, then, first of all, I think you’ve got to re-check yourself.”
In other words, there are parts of his life that are none of anybody's business and it's about time the media and everybody else respected that.
