WATCH: ESPN's Paul Finebaum calls himself wrong for believing in 'fraud' Urban Meyer
Paul Finebaum didn’t grow a national radio audience or earn a big contract from ESPN by sugar-coating his takes. So when he was asked to reflect on Urban Meyer’s situation at Ohio State, Finebaum didn’t hold back.
A recent “College Football Live” segment opens with Finebaum declaring, “A lot of unanswered questions about Urban Meyer, but one thing I don’t have any doubt about, Urban Meyer is a fraud.”

CLAIM NOW!What sounds it like it might be the start of a rant actually leads into some reflection from Finebaum. As a radio host geared toward an SEC audience and based in the Southeast, Finebaum became familiar with Meyer at Florida. Finebaum says he genuinely felt Meyer “was a good and decent person who tried to make up for the wrongs of yesteryear.” The host calls himself “wrong” for believing that, saying Meyer “ran [Florida] into the ground” and may have now “run [Ohio State] off the tracks.”
Finebaum ends his sound off segment by acknowledging there are victims in the situation, “but Urban Meyer is not one of them.”
