ESPN is just announcing that Urban Meyer is pulling the plug. Eh, wildly successful coach, but now Miami has more competition for a Head Coach.
I do not post much here any more......but this is a special occasion....I am a Gator fan again .... beginning at 2 pm today. I hinted in some of my last posts that there were big problems brewing in G'ville and Baton Rogue in particular. I even PM'd a couple of you with some additional details..Urban is NOT stepping down like last year of his own choice. Now is the time to "clean up" the program, and not buy your future on a "credit Card"...... the next hire will not have any baggage and the NCAA will like them...I do not know who that might be but there are some obvious reasons those truths just mentioned...... Alen you know where to find me for the details.
Yeah I can totally see him reuniting with tebow. It should be funny to see all the UM fans change their tune about him if he goes there.
Call me crazy but I am totally ok with this. Dan Mullen will be the next head coach at Florida. No doubt in my mind and the best news we can get rid of Addizio!!!!
Well Ray, I guess you get to wear the "I told you so" button this week. I posted this on Fanhell, but a few hours ago that a former player told me that one of the reasons that Meyer stepped down before, was because he was having an affair with a Co-ed and got caught by his wie.
Yep Google Urban Meyer affair, apparently a Gainesville radio station was reporting this back in January. Living in Gainesville I'm surprised I hadn't heard it until the player mentioned it. I asked him if he was serious and he said yep he was informed by two sources inside the team that he trusts very much. Said that Shell found out he was banging a co-ed and told him it had to stop or she went public with it. Also apparently this girl's facebook page suddenly disappeared around the time this whole thing went down.
Wait a minute, if Meyer does leave, the Gainesville PD won't make their infraction quotas for the year...
The affair which after being around Urban I do not doubt became public back around last Christmas or so.......this whole situation is potentially much more damaging to the University than Meyer personally.
I'm gonna say big time. As I said already, unless they can change his mind Ronald Powell is leaving. It could mean losing Driskel
The Google search displayed several notable coaches with affairs with co eds including Charlie Weiss and Pete Carroll .Its an occupational hazard it seems. If this is true then I dont think Meyer will be sticking around Gainsville.My guess is that he will end up with ND after a respite.The spread offense will not work in the NFL .Its dependent on taking advantage of superior athletes and in the NFL everyone is a superior athlete.I dont see a pro career in his future except as a Special teams coach. Like Skeet I am glad he stepped down because he was not willing to put the time and effort on his job and he delegated much of his responsibilities to assistant coaches who were not up to the job. The Gators have to sign a replacement coach soon to save the recruiting and prevent transfers.Mullen makes more sense because it would be a smoother transition . Of the key recruits the one I worry most about is Driskel .He is the key to the future . Dual threat QB with all the tools.Ideal for the spread .
