You're right, I should just sell my season tickets right now because Meyer is coming back.

Clearly no good whatsoever can come from Meyer staying affiliated with UF.

Sorry bro....the gloom and doom you want me to feel just isn't there. And at the end of the day, we're talking about college football. This isn't life and death stuff.

it is never good when a staff and team have questions as to exactly who the head coach is

Explain? Brain Cyst, heard they can be bad but, whats the long term effect? And retirement? He's not.

I ain't a doctor. Go to foxsports and read the article. It's probably an AP in any local paper. Just know he's flip flopped more than I can count. Even his wife said he wouldn't be back but now he says he will. He's just inflating his ego. Probably having Timmy Withdrawels.

It's as though you want to beat a confession of the guy, when all the information about his condition is already out there.

I do not wish the guy any ill health.. I have had a heart condition myself (BY-pass) but I just think the lack of information will hurt him in recruiting even if he stays (only for the next couple of classes tho) and I thought he came off as indicisive. I don't realy care what his health issues are, and the hippa laws are there to keep them private if he so wanted. Yet I would hate to vote for a president who refuses to release his and I would hate to committ four to five years of my life to a coach who would not as well JMO

So because he doesn't address his health at a press conference, that's proof positive he won't address the issue with a potential recruit or recruit's parents in a more private setting?

I doubt the recruits that Meyer and his staff have spent months, and in some cases years, to build relationships will jump ship because of something that wasn't addressed at a press conference.

When you release a statement saying you're walking away from being coach at Florida because of your health, and then less than 24 hours later you're sitting at a press conference saying "no, wait, after I went to one practice and hung out with the players I've changed my mind," then you've made at least the broad details about your medical condition a matter of public debate. Sorry.

Same AMEN right there ^

If I were a Florida fan, I'd be livid at Meyer. Either you can do the job or you can't. If you can, awesome. If you can't, get out of the way so we can hire Bob Stoops. Now the team gets to roll around in uncertainty all year because Meyer didn't have the stones to just cut the cord.

I am sure he will address the issue with the recruits in private, but as he walks away do you not think they will wonder if he is only saying what they want to hear. It just makes a lot more sense to me to publicly deal with the issue one time and settle it, not leave it open for debate from other schools and recruiters

It is idiotic to act like there aren't a ton of questions left to be answered. This put a ton of uncertainty into a certain situation. You should still see some fallout in your class. Wait until the other coaches can talk to these kids eye to eye. They will absolutely hammer Urban.

Meyer is still the head coach.

Feel free to create doubt in your mind until new information becomes available.

Maybe it still says "head coach" on his business card, but when he says he doesn't know who's going to hire the new defensive coordinator, then that means that he's not really the head coach right now.

I agree ... why was he unable (in his opinion) to do his job last night, but today after a meeting with the team did he get better?

As if there would be no debate otherwise....

Meyer saying he had no interest in the ND job did nothing to stop the speculation over him taking the ND job.

People will always wonder. What Meyer says in the privacy of a recruit's living room carries much more weight than what he didn't say at today's press conference.

he is such a wuss. I guess he just needed some attention. Now that gaybo is leaving he must be lonely.

I'd be willing to bet Steve Addazio won't be hiring UF's next DC.
