Urban Meyer
i get you don't like the Gators but all this level of certainty about Meyer not returning is the same kind of wishful thinking that perpetuated talk of him bolting to Notre Dame the past three seasons. If Meyer didn't have every intention of returning then Steve Addazzio would not be the interim head coach and they wouldn't keep hiring coaches that have zero connection to anyone on the current staff except for of course Urban Meyer. Instead they'd have a full on search for a replacement head coach but that's not what's happening.:lolabove:
No, really who the coach will be, not the bag of lies and BS he's feeding them to keep things going for UF...his own AD and administration won't even say he'll be the coach - his AD recently said he had NO time table for Meyer's return, end of summer, during the season, next year, or not at all...his words!! Meyer's "in my gut" & "I feel" are just ways to hedge his bets...then when he has to resign or take a more administrative role he can say, well my gut feeling was wrong as more medical info came to light...or some other mumbo jumbo
I can't believe that anyone with even a modicum of intelligence believes the crap Meyer is shoveling.

If his intent was to trick recruits to signing with Florida even though he knew he wouldn't be the head coach in the fall then in actuality it would make far better sense to strongly assert that he would be back or at least provide a definite timetable to recruits. Instead though he feels strongly he'll be the head coach his recent health scare has made it clear to him nothing in this life is certain.

The AD and president tried their best to get him to take a leave of absence instead of resigning. After Meyer got back on the practice field with his team (i.e. the only really fun part of coaching other than game day) he went back and accepted their offer. it's as simple as that.
it's not surprising you guys have a desire to see the man who's been at the helm of 5 straight victories over Tennessee not return. however, it's not going to affect what transpires and barring a health setback he will return for the upcoming season.

if you think Meyer makes any decision without his wife on board you're sadly mistaken. She's the reason he's in Gainesville, not in South Bend.

"I told a few of them my decision. A couple were surprised, but they could tell that I fell in love with the place. They know that this school, well, it's a program that will stand the test of time."

So you've brought up the ND job now twice. Nobody here even cares about that, the objection to your claim that he will be back has zero to do with ND and him taking/not taking that job. Nobody denies he's a good/great coach & recruiter. The point that most people here are making is that Urban Meyer is a liar, he's two faced and duplicitous.
THE IMAGE: He places himself on his high perch above everyone else and puts a halo atop his head. Once in a while he condescends to commune with the other mortals not worthy to kiss his feet. See that's the image with which you worshipful jorts in FL portray your leader. He is honest, and trustworthy, and a man of God. - Trust me I live about an hour SW of "the Swamp"...UF & Urbie and Tebow are like a religion around here
THE TRUTH: The truth is far from that image. He has been shown to be a liar. He lied to J. Snead about Tebow and the QB position (before you say we can't prove it - its in a published book! ESPN is not going to let itself be sued for libel or slander - it wasn't sued therefore true), he lied about leaving Utah, lied about why he was hospitalized...need I go on recounting his litany of lies. Since he's been coach he's had over 25 players arrested, most recently C. Dunlap - passed out at the wheel drunk as a skunk, more than any other program in that same stretch. He also said he needed time with his wife and family and to get his health right - then chooses his players over family and health...truly a man of character....i'll stop there, but I have old articles from the gainesville sun if you really need to verify this stuff.
The big point - Now he says he'll be back in August to a recruit or two...to the media its "in my gut I think I'll be back next season"...Foley is totally non-committal to a time table. SO WHICH ONE IS TRUE?? does he have a time table and is lying to the media, OR is there still no time table and he's lying to recruits?? can't both be true - breaks laws of logic....so you being a recruit or their family, how do you not see all this and just say...OK, i'm going to UF and CUM will be there....naive at best.
personally I wish someone would call his sanctimonious ass out on all this crap on national tv and not just here...let the truth be know

Let's see how well you'd handle life in the public eye. Just about every player he's ever had said he was like a father figure. I know he is the coach of your rival, but I don't see why he gets personally attacked so often.
