With former teammates expressing their feelings on now jailed former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, it was only a matter of time before someone was going to ask Hernandez's former college coach Urban Meyer what he thought about the situation.

Meyer coached Hernandez at the University of Florida from 2007 to 2009. When Meyer, now the head coach at Ohio State, was asked what he's felt the last week about Aaron Hernandez, he was less than forthcoming.

"I'm not gonna talk about that," Meyer said, according to Fox Sports Net Ohio.

Hernandez sits in a Massachusetts jail charged with the murder of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd. He was denied bail twice last week and will remain in jail until he answers those charges in court.

Hernandez admitted to failing at least one drug test while at Florida, and it caused him to drop in the 2010 draft. The Patriots ended up selecting him in the fourth round.
