Definitely not the first person that Urban has fooled into thinking he was a good guy.

He didn't hire him to be a good guy. He hired him to win games and no one has won games at a higher rate than Meyer in modern ncaa football. But yeah, he obviously ignored a lot of red flags from people who were pretty open and vocal about not believing that Meyer would work out in the NFL.

I think in professional sports you can be a big enough asshole that will keep you from winning. The arrogance it takes to think everyone should and would bow down to you and that you could get away with anything.

Agreed. I just don't think that very many billionaire owners of professional sports teams, many of whom are assholes in their own right, truly believe that it's that big a deal as they are likely personal friends with many people who are very successful in their fields who are also huge assholes. They may be the single least qualified people to assess that as a factor in a coaching hire.
