Urban Meyer is perhaps the best example of a coach that has developed a reputation, the reality of what that coach is actually about and the Grand Canyon that separates the two. Specifically, the spread option is an offense whose birth many of us relate explicitly with Urban Meyer, similar to the wishbone with Barry Switzer (it was really Emory Bellard) and the run-and-shoot with Mouse Davis (OK, that one is true). While the origin of the spread option is a subject worthy of its own chapter in a book, rather than an article on a website, rest assured that Meyer in no way invented it (he’s also never claimed to). But we believe it anyway. Another fallacy? That Urban Meyer is an offensive wizard, on par with the best coaching minds on that side of the ball anywhere in college. Debunking both of the above lines of public opinion are two clear truths that no one disputes: Urban Meyer has never been in charge of developing a game plan for a specific opponent and, more shockingly, on game day he has never called plays.

Check the man’s resume. He went straight from being Notre Dame’s wide receivers coach to being head coach at Bowling Green and has never looked back. Nowhere will you find “Offensive Coordinator” listed, no matter where you look. Formulating the specific line of attack vs. an opponent and then executing it on game day have never been Meyer’s responsibilities or duties.

"The King" is the master of stating the obvious.
Much as Rex is the master of the "copy and paste".

Shocking. The head coach lets the coordinators call in the plays.

In case you didn't know, water tends to be wet.

He might be on to something. But at this point, it's ridiculous to call someone who has been ultra successful where ever he has gone based on one mediocre season. There's no use in declaring him dead yet.

Exposed as a fraud after winning two NC's is a bit early.

Monty Python movie quote comes to mind, "I'm not dead yet"

He's been exposed as a liar, a drama queen and a douche. Fraud is a bit much, though.

He has never been successful without Mullen. Add the loss of Strong & Tebow and he has a tough hill to climb.

Didn't you state as much before the season in one of these threads only to have the gator trolls tell you how ridiculous that was? Appears to playing out this way.

So in the season that has exposed him as a "fraud" he finished second in the SEC East?

There's plenty of coaches that wish their off seasons were that horrible.

Well IMO.... The past 4 years he had a glorified fullback that fit his system to a T. Teblow was the florida offense. Now he's lost with out his main cog to make his O run.

It's kinda reminds me of an older gentalman who just retired from my place of employment that just poped in to visit he told me "I had a good thing going now that's it's gone I don't know what to do now... I'm kinda lost"

The SEC east was horrid this year. Finishing second is nothing to brag about.

That being said Meyer isn't a bad coach but without Tebow and losing some of his best coaches from the staff hurt him and left him looking for answers.

Seems reasonable to me. I still think Meyer gets way too much credit for UFs run over the last 5 years.

People, it's one year. One year. Let's see how Florida rebounds the next couple of years before we start saying he is nothing without Dan Mullen. You can't expect them to be as good as they were at the height of his short tenure at Florida without guys like Tebow and Percy Harvin making plays...
