But one other group of people needs to quickly know what Meyer's going to do: His family. I hate even going in that direction; far be it from me to advise another man how to deal with his family. (Though even a single man like myself knows making your wife look either clueless or like a liar probably isn't a good idea.) But I can't ignore what Meyer's father said Saturday: He doesn't want to die because he wants to raise his family. That is presumably still true. So are the stories of one of his daughters being happy to have her father back. Meyer's statements that he's going to have to figure out how to prioritize all that ring hollow.

On Saturday, he said that he was choosing his faith, family and health over football. How is that a false choice 24 hours after it was a matter of life and death?
