Will 2009 be Urban's last year at UF?

If Notre Dame offers $4 mil plus next year, Meyer will probably go, since he just said Notre Dame is his 'dream job.'

To me, he seems like he will be a job hopper. Spent little time in Bowling Green, Utah and I think he will want a new challenge very soon.

It's a lateral move and Florida with match whatever he is offered. Why go and start over rebuilding a program when you can stay with your NC contender? Plus live in a state much easier to recruit with plenty of in-state talent.

I know we all want him gone, but I don't see it. NFL might intice him, but his offense probably won't work at that level.

Pennies from heaven.....or wads of cash from TD Jesus?

A rumor I heard a while back was that ND inquired with Urban and he told them to call him next year.

He would do it all because of EGO...if he could be the coach that "wakes the echos" in South Bend after winning two Na. Cha.'s at FL he would go down as one of the best of all time....

That's why he would go.

You might not see the attraction to the ND job, but Meyer obviously does.

I think you are right. He would look crazy for leaving a job where you have so much talent in your state and a few titles. However, I think that he is an Ohio native and was an assistant at ND. The quote in the paper will have the ND boosters salivating and opening up the checkbook next year after Jimmy Clausen fails again. I could see him following the arrogant path of the Ole Ball Coach thinking he could win in the NFL.

Going from anywhere to Notre Dame is most def NOT a lateral move. And the expression "lateral move" is played out.:good!:

I see nothing arrogant about wanting to take a chance at the highest level of your profession.

If I were at a place like Florida, USC, or Texas, and I'd won a national championship, I'd pack my bags and take the Tennessee job if it ever opened up.

Tennessee's not a better job than any of those 3, but it's my dream job. I wouldn't think twice about it.

Spurrier and Urban are both arrogant. Spurrier felt his system and not hard work would translate into wins. In fact, I think that he even made a remark about the NFL coaches that spend the night in the office in preparing game plans and that it was not necessary to win. In the end, his arrogant attitude led to his exit. Not saying if you want to coach in the NFL that you are arrogant. Its the way that Spurrier did it. There were no Vandy's to push around in the NFC east.

Ok call me crazy for thinking this, but what in the world is so glamorous or "dream job" about Notre Dame?!?! Yea they were good back when Army was good so why isn't Army a "dream job"??? I think Notre Dame is about as appealing as being the head coach at Wisconsin in my honest opinion. I am biased that I think Notre Dame is a crappy place to play for but I can't give a team that doesn't belong to a conference much respect. I think its lucrative and head spinning that they get all this attention when they haven't done anything in the last 10 years or more.
