Do you think he takes his version of the spread to the NFL? I don't think that offense would make it in the NFL, but I said the same thing about it coming to the SEC

Honestly I don't know. Its just my impression that his career has been marked by a steady rise from one level to the next, BG, Utah, Florida. Nowhere to go at the college level.

That would surprise me. They would have to pay really big bucks to pull him from Oklahoma. I personally think he is overrated. They pay this guy a fortune. He wins within his conference and when it comes to a bowl game and stiffer competition, he gets it handed to him. That guy can hand select all the talent he wants and doesn't have to travel very far to do it. I think it would be career suicide for Stoops to take the ND job. JMO.....

The CUM spread would fail miserably at the NFL level. Not because of CUM, no knock on him, however the speed all over the field at LB and DB would not allow it.

It makes sense but for him to leave UF IMO it will have to be an offer even a NFL coach couldn't refuse, that is for him to go to another school. Things would have to be on the decline big time for him to leave with the way things are now

My main reasoning behind him is, didn't they want him before him they got Weiss?

Right, your response is implying that only a childish 7 year old would laugh about CUM spread. For this 7 year old to laugh about it he must know what it is. Right?

Okay, my bad, back on topic. I actually agree with you VOLinthaATL, I don't really see the spread flying in the NFL. It would be interesting to see it attempted, but I don't see it working. However, I didn't really think the wild cat or whatever you call it would work either and you see more and more teams using it.

He is not going to Notre Dame for simple reason he does not want to have to do the necessary traveling that it would take to get recruits to come there especially since he still has kids at home. After his youngest leaves, he may be tempted to go see what he can do at Notre Dame but not before then. Right now he can fill 2/3 of his class or more and never leave the state of Florida, then through in the occasional trip to Georgia and Bama and he's almost done recruiting for that year. If he leaves anytime soon, he will go to the NFL which I don't think is a very good move for him. He is a control freak and that won't go over in NFL at all, too many egos. On top of that, he will have to adapt his offense.

In all fairness, no one thought it would work in the SEC because of all the defensive speed. With the right personnel ....

Excellent points. You are spot on. I actually saw Meyer interview and that was the big reason he chose UF. He went there so he could win immediately and recruit in his back yard so he could be home at night with his family. If he did take the ND job, he better pack his bags, because he would definitely have to put forth more effort recruiting. He would recruit a lot on his name, but it would be different. Much different.

UF vs the 21% of Americans that identify themselves as Catholic?... Not really a very difficult call. If ND chose to, they could outspend any school. It helps them also that they are private and accountable to no one except those who want them to win.

Meyer's buyout is another indication that no matter what his words are saying... his actions indicate that his narcissism isn't being completely satisfied by UF.

I agree to a point however, the speed at LB is primarily what leads me to believe it would never work in the NFL.

I'm sorry to shatter your delusion but ND is a far, far more prestigious and historic job than UF.

I despise ND almost as bad as UF... but there's really no comparing the two from the perspective of college football history.

I actually believe UF would have no problem matching an ND offer. With their recent success and the ESPN contract money would seem to be no problem at UF.

I think he will definitely go to the NFL.... Half the work schedule, the same pay, and can be the pioneer of the spread offense to the NFL...

But speed at RB and especially the OL is also in play... it's not like just the LB's are better in the NFL... I was a doubter that it would work in the SEC, but was clearly proven wrong. So now I think that it could work in the NFL. And that aside, he would clearly want to be the one to try and install it, if solely for the sake of being the pioneer.

Coach leaving after signing a contract = coach leaving after signing a contract.

The biggest difference is Meyer's piddling buyout (from what I understand), which would make it very easy to leave.

Never said they were, just faster all over the field. The dinks and dunks of the spread would be neutralized by them.
