However, Meyer did have a noteworthy string of problems in the team over two years and the local paper did keep a database of arrests and run-ins with the law during that time. I remember the coverage of it at the time and it was eventually overshadowed by the end of the Tebow era and his strange exit from Florida. So he very much oversaw a spike in trouble. And during the middle of that string was when he began to consider retirement.
I think this bit at the end of the article is most telling:
Jenkins, the cornerback, eventually left Florida for North Alabama after Meyer’s successor, Will Muschamp, dismissed him from the team after marijuana arrests. Several months later, Jenkins spoke to The Orlando Sentinel about his dismissal.

“If Coach Meyer were still coaching, I’d still be playing for the Gators,” he was quoted as saying. “Coach Meyer knows what it takes to win.”
The higher the tolerance for illegal behavior the more of it there will be, and the seriousness will also increase. No, I'm not saying allowing pot-heads a pass will get you a murderer on the team, but it will get you more arrests and more trouble than just pot.

It also shows that bible-study is not an indicator of a reformed troublemaker.
