Meyer's next stop is Notre Dame, not the NFL.

Not under the current circumstances. For Meyer there is no move up left in college football. Notre Dame is something he might do at the tail end of his career, but I doubt even his love for the domers could overcome the agony of dealing with that disaster right now.

Exactly. He's at the peak, i'll admit that... only person who's probably considerably higher is Carroll

I disagree. It's not that big a disaster from a personnel standpoint....Weiss is simply proving to be a bad hire.

It's still a very high profile job (especially if Meyer decides to rescue the program). He could win there, almost immediately.

Right now it is... as far as where the programs stand. But even in Notre Dame's bad years, they get just as much press as the good teams, because every analyst and network wonders when they'll be able to start dating the golden domers again

I do get what you're saying, rescuing the program would make it that much more high profile and he would get that much more attention for it.

I just can't imagine an NFL team looking at Meyer's offense and thinking, "hey, that's something that might work in the pros!" Add in his lack of NFL experience and the spectacular flameouts of Spurrier and Petrino (and even Nick Saban), and I just don't see it happening unless Meyer a huge paycheck from an owner who is completely insane. (Which is always possible, I guess.)

I could see the Notre Dame challenge being something that appeals to him eventually, though. Winning a couple of championships at UF makes him a great coach -- but if he were then to then go win another one at Notre Dame (especially as far as they've fallen), suddenly his name is on everybody's short list of greatest college coaches of all time. And you know how he feels about Notre Dame.

It does not look like Urban is setting himself up in a long term job position, he's pissing off too many people. He looks to be resume and reputation building to land that next big paycheck.

Just because they are down as a program doesn't mean the Domers have lost any prestige. They still probably have the largest national following in the country.

Right now it is.

My point is that there is no meaningful step up for him.

There's no doubt that UF is as perfect a coaching job as exists at the college level. If I were Meyer, I'd settle in, stay there for 20 more years, win a few more SEC championships. You'd be crazy to walk away from a situation like that.

But Notre Dame is STILL the University Of Football In America. The mystique is still intact (at least until another generation of two of sportswriters die off). Win at Florida, and you're a great coach. Win at ND, and you're a legend. I think you're underestimating the appeal of that, especially to a Catholic boy from the midwest.

That mystique is the only reason that Holtz, the babbling, lisping idiot, has a job today.

I can't stand ND....But they are the Yankees, Packers, Celtics, Canadians, of the College Football World. College football is better when they are good. I hate to say that, but it is true. They are a team that more people love and more people hate than any other. That would be a great job for anyone. And I'm not catholic!

Cal had a similiar situation last week against washington state. They had a 4th and 7 and could have kicked the field goal. Instead they ran up the middle and scored. The wsu fans complained that tedford should have kicked the field goal rather than "running up the score." Unless you down the ball, people are going to complain. Screw em. They should blame their team for bending over, not the other coach for trying to score which is the point of the game for christ sake.

here's a better question, why does tebow even feel the need to answer the question or comment on it? as a player, wouldn't the response be "the coaches make those decisions, we just execute, you'd have to ask Meyer or Shannon about that".

i mean seriously, it's not even that i disagree with him, but is it really up to St. Tebow to fix everything? So now he's placed this burden on his shoulders too. last year he carried the team on his back, then he saved the phillipine children in one week during spring break and now he's selflessly defending the "honor and character" of this program.

i mean really. it's just too much. enough already. just go play.

Wrong. Notre Dame is a step up from Florida.

no. not even close. FL is in so much better shape than ND right now.......it's not really close.

the only reason anyone can say that is because of tradition. in the last 10 years they've been squat.
