Maybe, or could it be possible that his troubled times exacerbate existing health problems?
They are definitely "convenient" in their timing. I heard them on the radio saying the same thing. That possibly the stress of bad situations causes him to show health issues. Except in the case with Zach & Courtney, there were many years of no stress about it. He could have come clean and did the right thing multiple times....when stress wasn't an issue. It is not only un-plausible that his health issues only show memory issues, its impossible. Normal stress of running the Buckeyes would have shown up here and there, and Urban would have had instances where he dropped the ball badly in running the program......multiple times. But that did not happen. The whole thing is a load of BS as long as the world is wide.
The optics of him grabbing his head earlier in the year on the sidelines was not a good look. What is surprising is that he said it was because of his health rather than just getting run into by a player. I'm not sure why he would bring that out into the open now unless he is laying the groundwork for a health-related departure.
There is a known correlation that stress negatively impacts health. Not only does it compromise you physically on its own, usually the first thing to go is sleep. And when you're not sleeping, everything gets bad in a hurry.
It also makes it more likely that people cut corners on the things that promote good health, and it turns into a spiral. But I have a hard time feeling sorry for Urb.

He had a "heart" issue at Florida years ago when that program started to spin out of control and he left. Given how little he seems to understand about accountability, his jerk attitude towards everyone he thinks is inferior, and his history of running successful but nasty programs and then departing over "health concerns," then showing up looking just fine as an ESPN color commentator, I am skeptical about anything this Alan Thicke-looking MF says.
I believe if he were coaching anywhere else, he would call it quits by the end of this year. OSU is supposedly his dream job and I don't think he's willing to leave just yet.. Hope I'm wrong though.
