I have a hard time believing that Urban made the decision to resign without a lot of deep thought. The guy went through a lot of consultation with his family, co workers, team, and God before he came to this decision that I'm sure he agonized over. What seems more likely that after 24 hrs he decided to change his mind or Foley convinced him to help them salvage the recruiting class by saying he is taking a LOA?Some are speculating this is the case, but I highly doubt it..
Meyer is real big on his "Legacy" and this will defintely dent that if he does..

I agree and I'm not convinced Foley is going to roll with what they have in place currently. This is going to blow up in Florida's face big time IMO. I think it already has in a way. The media has went from painting Meyer as sympathetic to selfish and this will cost UF a few recruits that are on the fence right now. Florida will look like the scum that they are once NSD comes and passes; Meyer will go ahead and step down, Foley will make a change at HC, and I'm sure the jorts will buy the media spin that Meyer/Foley shovels out hook, line, and sinker. I'm just not sure the rest of the country will though.exactly...I feel that you are right on about salvaging the recruiting class...He will resign later next year after recruits sign their LOI...GBO!
I don't really put this flip flop on Meyer, to me it probably was done at the request of their athletic directory. He realized Meyer stepping down was going to put a serious dent in their recruiting, he realized they have nobody lined up as successor who would jump in and make a big splash. He realized he could very likely be stuck with a Zook type replacement if he was forced to make a move too quick and without doing an extensive search. Meyer was asked to do this for UF and feeling obligated to do so.
I am not saying Meyer is innocent and IMO he has done enough over the years to earn the reputation as a whiner and many other things. He was asked to perpetuate the myth that he is returning and he did, take it for what it's worth.
