No, a press release would not have worked. Florida getting a new swimming coach could be handled in a press release. Big stories don't get settled with press releases. Ask Tiger Woods how releasing statements and not answering questions to the media works for you.

Unless Florida and Meyer wanted to deal with months of wild speculation, or unless they were trying to hide something, then refusing to see the media would be the right play. If they wanted to explain the situation in Meyer's own words, and put to bed any questions the public may have, they you have to get in front of the media. Yeah the Meyer press conference just insured us that we will not have to deal with WILD SPECULATIONS for the next say 8 months. lol

Oh, but having common sense is a side effect of a "Big ego". Honestly, some of you guys need to get off the computer and learn how the real world works.
