Meyer's daughters attack ESPN for GameDay sign
Urban Meyer will never address trolls.
That doesn’t mean his daughters don’t.
On Saturday’s ESPN College GameDay, someone held up a sign that mocked Urban Meyer’s decision to leave Florida for health reasons and take over Ohio State a year later. In fact, it was the most retweeted GameDay sign.
In case you missed it, here it is.

Well, Meyer’s daughters were not pleased with ESPN’s decision to give the tasteless sign airtime. They took to Twitter to air their displeasure with not only the sign, but the network’s decision to deem it (appropriate).
Makes me sick. "Appropriate" my a**. Stick to what happens on the field. That's all y'all know anything about. https://t.co/X46VsELkcn

Both Gigi and Nicki Meyer waited until Sunday night to sound off on ESPN.
Shame on the fan for that sign but even more shame on @CollegeGameDay for promoting such trash. Someone's health isn't a joke – classLESS.

Not only did they respond to GameDay, but they responded to mentions they received about the sign.
@Gatorfan_85 never a surprise when the meanest comments are from gator twitter names. Thankful for the nice gators that are still out there

Meyer, of course, had to sign a contract with his family before he agreed to coach Ohio State. He chose to come to Columbus after winning two national championships at Florida.
Still, Gator fans and the SEC are bitter they lost the best coach in the country.
