Rumor is, that cyst on his brain developed around the beginning of December 2009...

He should just retire. He's got nothing left to prove.

Man ... I dont like to joke about people's health but this is a gold mine. I will just let it go and hope for the best for him. On the football field I hate him ... but off the football field hope he is okay.

Same here.

Meyer had brain surgery in the spring of 2014 after suffering consistent headaches for nearly a month. The complex surgery removed a subdural fluid collection caused by the cyst to relieve increased intracranial pressure, according to Dr. Thomas.

“Over the last few years, I’ve felt better and, with the help of my doctors, learned to manage it and monitor it with medication,” Meyer said in a phone interview. “I’m optimistic that this time won’t be any different.”

Meyer decided to outline his medical history because of persistent questions about his future as Ohio State’s coach. He reiterated to Yahoo Sports that he has no plans to step down at Ohio State, but wanted to be fully transparent about his health issues to alleviate questions about his future. “I just want people to know what’s going on,” Meyer said. “I’ve been dealing with this for several years.”

I honestly think Meyer could die on the sideline. He needs to call it quits

I kid, I kid. Hope it's nothing but the stress is obviously an issue. Retire.

I'll joke about the esophogeal spasms, but not this. Why put yourself through the pain? You've accomplished enough and will never have to worry about money, just call it quits.

THIS!!

Once you need brain surgery, and have the means to retire or do something else, that is what you should do.

I'll keep my mouth shut... just like he and his wife did about domestic abuse. #StandTogetherInSilence

It's so hard to tell with Urban. He is such a liar and quite a selective reporter of his medical history.

The Internist's comments are the only part of the story you can bank on:

The past four years, we’ve been working closely with coach Meyer to monitor and manage the symptoms that have risen from his enlarged congenital arachnoid cyst,” said Dr. Andrew Thomas, Meyer’s personal physician and the chief clinical officer at Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center. “This includes aggressive headaches, which have particularly flared up the past two years.”

Meyer had brain surgery in the spring of 2014 after suffering consistent headaches for nearly a month. The complex surgery removed a subdural fluid collection caused by the cyst to relieve increased intracranial pressure, according to Dr. Thomas.

Only Meyer and his Doctors know which medications are being used to "manage" the condition. Sounds like anxiolytic meds to me.

Meyer is not a guy who can "retire". Especially in his early 50's. That's part of his problem.

Real truth to that.

 

[Tay Bang]

Real truth to that.

I'd own a tropical island with his kind of money. I would never leave. Not Urbs, though.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

If you gave me 20 mill then said I could "enjoy" some wonderful Ohio winters for 20 mil more..... the answer is easy.

His health.... yeah he needs to take care of his health.

In the words of Capt Willard, chef is wrapped too tight for Vietnam, probably wrapped too tight for New Orleans.

He climbed the mountain again. Proved he could. What does he have left to prove.

He can still bang young girls as a retiree.

He is the Tiger Woods of coaching. Urbs wouldn't know what to do in the morning if he couldn't go to work. I doubt he wants to hang out with Shelley. No way he has any actual friends.

 

[TN G8tr]

Reflux/Espohageal Spasms is one thing. When they're drilling in your brain that's another. Won't poke fun at this one. Hope he does well.

But if he's on the other sideline. It's on!

 

[oxrageous]

He's going to coach the Browns.
