It's not like Florida doesn't have the money to pay Meyer either. Meyer has Florida built right now and I would be SHOCKED if he were to go to ND. ND is the most overrated school to coach at IMO.

Looking at some of their recent hires, I would agree with you.

I read over on the MB that Kelly wouldn't leave. Something about his wife being sick, her doctors, family, and stuff. I also don't think Urban leaves either. Florida will have a good team. Brantley is one heck of a passer so if they get some good receivers then they will still most likely be a continuous 9-3 10-2 team for years to come. Recruiting is easy when you are at Florida. Same as a few other coastal areas. Weiss will probably be aound for at least one more season. If Florida was to have a horrible season next year(chance of that is slim) then they would probably try to convince him with a blank check.

Urbie will be gone, and at ND.

His 10 year OC is at MSU right now. Its obvious that he was the brains, and meyer was the front man. Their offense is not even close to what it was like last year. Charlie Strong will be gone in due time, probably next year with all the coaching positions going to be open. Tebow will be gone, Urbie wants to get his big pay day and ride off into the golden poop sunset that is notre dame.

Can't have been his 10 year OC. Meyer wasn't even a HC 10 years ago, and his first two years as an HC at BGSU, Gregg Brandon was his OC. Brandon stayed behind to take the BG HC job when Urbie left for Utah, and after riding the tide of Urban's players and recruits for a few years, started a steady decline eventually leading to his firing at the end of last year.

Mullen was with Meyer at BG though, you're right, just as a QB's Coach, not as OC.



Anyway, I think if ND does make a move, it's possible Urban would take it. He was an assistant there before coming to BG, and has said several times over that being the HC there is his "dream job."

As for Brian Kelly, I don't know. I could see him staying at UC. They're a program seriously on the rise, in no small part due to his efforts, and being Head Coach of a winning BCS school (even if they are on the small end of the BCS conferences) that you helped to build to its current level is a pretty decent gig, if you ask me.

It's awesome when you fools speak of "tradition" and bash UF for supposedly not having one. I'm curious as to your definition of tradition. I was born in 1985, started truly following Florida football around age 6, which coincidentally was about the time Florida took ownership of the SEC. You can all sit here and deny it until you're blue in the face, Florida has been THE team of the SEC over the last two decades.

Because we don't have a history dating back to the 1920's takes nothing away from the fact that Florida is in the midst of a run right now that hasn't been accomplished in UT history. I'm not sure why anybody would have reason to believe Meyer would leave the most dominant team in the most dominant conference in the country. Maybe when this run is completely over, which will not be after this season, he might jump to Notre Dame to finish out his career, but it won't be within the next 3 years.

Much harder to be successful at ND than at Florida. Something tells my that UM is going to be smart and stay at UF. He might use the opening at ND to get some more $$$ from Florida though.

since you are so young i wont even begin to cover Neylands run(s) with Tenn which dwarf Spurrier's and Meyer's accomplishments.

There was talk this weekend on one of the NFL shows about Gruden possibably going to ND. Not sure they want another NFL guy there though.

It's going to come down to this: does Meyer want to keep cruising along at one of the best jobs in college football, or does he want to trade that for a chance to have people call him the greatest coach in college football history? Because if he wins three NCs at UF and then goes and wins another at ND, that's what he'd arguably be.

Quality of life vs a challenge and a chance to become a all-time legend. Either one seems like a pretty good choice to me.

he stays. Gravy train is too hard to walk away from. Recruiting's a breeze. In the modern game, a coach has about 10 truly competitive years in him at any one place and he'd be silly to waste any at ND.

I think quality of life, at this point, is no longer a concern...though I know what you're saying.

And, while Florida appears to be the path of least resistance on the surface, I'm not so sure that's really the case.

How long can you actually dominate a conference like the SEC? At some point, no matter how well Florida is recruiting, you have to think they're going to experience some kind of decline. Nothing drastic...but some 10-2, 9-3 seasons.

If he could recruit well and bring some sunshine-state talent to South Bend, you have to think he could regularly win 10, 11, 12 games a year with the Irish. The schedule at Notre Dame is a lot easier than the schedule in Gainesville.

Staying at Florida could arguably be the bigger challenge for Meyer....but I may be stretching with that argument.

Totally agree with your post. This year, I think leadership is the only reason we are sitting on a goose egg in the "L" column from Tebow, Spikes, Haden, & Cooper. Yes we have talent, but we are struggling on O somewhat. Although I think Urban has the reigns on the O and not allowing Addazio to fully open the play book, IMO, simply because of the D this year. We could have very easily lost to Arkansas, LSU, or albeit - TN, but the strong leadership from those guys kept us on the good side of the breaks - as well as the bad officiating, but we still had to win the game. Ultimately, I think Meyer will be the HC at UF for several more seasons. He will leave in the end either for UND, OSU, or take a shot at the NFL. UF will always have talent under Meyer, but to rationally think he will keep winning at this level in the SEC is wrong. Hopefully Gator fans are loving this ride b/c this type of 4 year run will probably never happen again.

Timing is everything in life. His arrival was timed perfectly in the conference with most of the major competition in the SEC either in a state of decline or in a rebuilding process. Within the state he arrived during the decline of the two major competitors for recruits. The only program that has accomplished anything significant during his time has been LSU and that's in spite of their coach, not because of it.

That's not meant to disregard him as a coach because he has won every where he has been but he also couldn't have timed his stint any better.

I don't understand why some think it will be harder to win at ND. Their schedule is a cupcake this year. Meyer would pull in recruits with his rep and have a cakewalk there or at least that's the way I see it.
