I don't believe Urban Meyer

I don't think he is faking, he has his reasons. However, the thought that rival fans can't yuk it up over this situation is rather ridiculous.

Bc his stock was now falling. Read the OP then think about what his reasonable expectations were gonna be next year?and the year after? I'm not ignorant enough to think they would have been 6-6, but they weren't going to win 13, in all likelyhood. 8-5, 9-4 , two years like that take his 4 mil to 2 mil.

What logic are you using for that statement?

I am calling BS on honoring this guy, bottom line he is a quitter.

I think Clay Travis put it well, stress is in iraq, not gainesville.

Pride comes before the fall
This guy is a jerk and it came around on him.
Having said that I wish him well and hope he lives a good life, but when its all said and done the man quit on his team.

I'm pretty sure he didn't choose to have heart problems. This is dumb.

Agreed, but considering all the reports saying that said problems aren't life-threatening I think its open season on Meyer and the Gators. Or maybe I am a heartless jerk. I can live with either.

If you're OK with it, I'm OK with it. :)

a.) you can't decrease someone's salary...he has a contract.

b.) Given that he has had top 5 recruiting classes for the last five years and thus, would likely keep pulling in top 5 classes, the talent level wouldn't be drastically different in the future. Sure, no Tebow. But with all the talent he has in Florida, he's capable of winning. It would be ignorant of you to say that he would never have another 10 win season and an SEC crown.

Next year wouldn't have been great, but the future was still there.

A) meant another job after Fla fired him for going 9-4 for four years. (See FSU/TN/LSU/BAMA/UM/+++-on the rise with the exception of lsu)
B) with more of his rivals getting Top 10 classes- one could assume that his 12-0's ARE DONE period. Yes he would have couldve gotten back to 10+ in 3-5 years, but would UF wait? And he can go get 5+, now that Mack did, afterall, mAck doesn't have two does he? UM does.

Meyer didn't have an undefeated season at Florida. In fact, no one has.

Couple all the above Facts with UM and FSU on the upswing, along with TN. Mr Myer knows more about all of this than ANY of us. His hotbed of locked talent has been unlocked, and TT is gone, and he's "stressed" don't be Naïve VN.

Yes, CUM knows this but don't think it is a factor in his decison. Yes, it will get tougher but he is way ahead of Tenn,FSU, and others as far as talent(depth too). So when they say its health its health.

+1

Can't believe he couldn't get help for the stress, and keep coaching

Could these heart problems possibly stem from his one and only true love making his way to the NFL? :)

Meyer wouldn't be fired after 2 8-4/9-3 seasons. I don't know how to respond to the rest of your garbage.

Pretty simple logic. 1.He's not a career Fla guy.
2. Thus he will leave fla at some point.
3. Leave while my stock is as high as it will be in the next 3-5 yrs.
4.How many 4m guys are there?
That should help you.

"Look at me, I'm Urban Meyer. I can't handle stress because I have a cavernous vagina."

Deal punk, that's what you get paid for.


This +1. They even were talking about how it wasn't bad after victories but the losses ate him up inside. He is such a narcissist that he cannot tolerate losing. Therefore, he got out of Gainesville once the writing was on the wall.

If his winning streak had continued and everything was just peachy then he wouldn't have left. Does everyone seriously believe that he just had to make the announcement now for his health?

If Urban really wanted UF to still be ok after he left then he could have waited until mid-February to make this announcement. I don't think he could stand the idea of CLK and staff taking more recruits from him around NSD.

The man is a huge vagina and is a typical frontrunner.

Does Meyer have a bad heart valve as reported? perhaps but it is not uncommon. Can surgery replace a bad heart valve? yes. What about the man who is a common labor with the same problem? does he say I can't take the stress I need to quit? No.

Some on here are falling for the sympathy card, I do not wish him any ill will but the excuse to me is bunk. Then you have a corner of people saying he is such a perfectionist and when things go the wrong way he suffers chest pains. Take an anxiety pill Meyer, you make 4 million a year to coach, do you not think with that sort of salary, that stress would not be part of it.

Joe Pa and Bobby Bowden who are almost twice his age have dealt with coaching stress almost as long as CUM has been alive. Everyone deals with stress differently but the stress on CUM has to do with more in him realizing he would rather go out on top then to have to deal with rebuilding and losing 3 to 4 games a year.

The bad heart valve is just a ticket he decided to punch, funny thing he was out recruiting this month and never hinted he was having mixed emotions on coaching. I will not fall for the sympathy card on this one, when he could have surgery to correct the problem.

No need to.I can agree to disagree. Rather than attempt to belittle someone with an oposing opinion.

I wish the man no ill will, and hate to see him step down, he's a competitor that you love to beat. It will be interesting to see who replaces him.

I'n not saying health wasn't and issue but I don't think thats all there is to it. Tebow and Hernandez are leaving, and he seemed to be the goto target, they have no quality WRs like they have had before and that hurt them this year. I also think their RBs were a disappointment this year and I don't see quality RB recruits lining up to play in that offense. Not to mention he now has to compete with CLK in recruiting now in Florida and the rest of the country along with other SEC schools. He didn't blow us out last year as expected and I bet he doesn't think next year will be any easier not to mention the head games and trash talk CLK throws his way throughout the season. So with that said I honestly hope he gets better but go ahead and pass the torch for #1 team in the east to the Vols on his way out and concentrate on Va Tech.
Go Vols!

If he were looking for another job he would be at Notre Dame in a week. He may come back at some point, I am not doubting that, but for now the health thing is legitimate. His emergency trip to the hospital was not about dehydration alone. There are some concerns that need to be addressed. And yes, I have a friend who works at the hospital he was admitted to. It wasn't life threatening, but it was something to be dealt with.


Oh really? Whats your friends name?? They told personal health information, that is violating the HIPPA law!!

All I know is that I was really hoping to see him coach without Tebow. We would have learned alot more about his coaching talent. Not saying he isn't a good coach, I just wanted to see him do it without Tebow.
