Urban Meyer

[JGibson]

What - one bad season and a realization that next season
won't be so good either leads to health problems and the
desire to "spend more time with his family," which doesn't
even last one year?

[J.C. Watts Enslin]

You never know when new opportunities come up. Maybe he was planning
to wait for a few years, but when this came up it was too good to pass
up.

Maybe he spent more time with his family and decided that he'd rather
spend more time watching film and working with football players.

I expect that his being from Ohio made Ohio State his dream job and
that's why he came back.

[Futbol Phan]

Except he said a few years ago during a radio interview that Notre
Dame was his dream job.

What's he's saying now is that $6,000,000 per year for 7 years makes
tOSU a dream job.

[tom_sa...@yahoo.com]

The coincidence that Ohio State now has a coach with the initials UM.

I mean, they could have gone with Rural Meyer and been fine.

[DanS.]

are we really razzing an unemployed dood for getting a job?

Like the Bear, he heard momma callin'.

He is from Ohio. OSU gets good players - all they have ever needed was
a coach to train them properly since Woody Hayes left.

Yeah - I coulda swore I heard that, but today everyone has been
repeating the "OSU was his dream job" mantra, so thanks for confirming.

I wish we had someone with some Florida insider knowledge around - the
way he left the program seemed strange at the time, seems strange now.
At the time, I was sure there were some NCAA infractions about to break,
and he was Carroll-ing his way outta town, but that wasn't the case...
so why the odd exit?

Cheers.

On his way from Utah, he went to ND and asked for just TWO players
that would not be academically eligible and ND said no and he went on
his way to Florida and, we know the rest....

[Jim Brown]

Plus you never know what he was going through health wise. Sometimes
a year is more than enough to rewind one's clock. Especially someone
with drive like Meyer has.

tOSU has been awful good without and Urban Meyer at the helm. I look
for them to win a title soon.

Seemed like Bo had heart attacks every other year, he sure didn't take
no wah-wah year off! Coaches these days just don't know TEH TOUGHNESS!

So "spend more time with my family" sometimes means "spend more time
with my family unless a better option comes along."

Actually, I understand why he took the job and won't hold it against
him; I just love mocking the whole "spend more time" bit whenever it
comes up.

Yep. The student side of the student-athlete isn't really Urban's strong
suit.

That's all I was doing. Making a little joke about spending
more time with his family. Not crucifying him for taking a
new job. I guess watching one year's worth of his daugther's
volleyball games was enough.

And to add to my other post - I just wanted to mock
him because he left after having one mediocre season
at Florida, and Florida was pretty bad this year under
Muschamp, so I was just needling him for leaving right
when Florida was tanking.

His two pseudo-retirements and comments about why are
bologna, worthy of an SNL skit. His taking a new job
OF COURSE is his prerogative.

I wish him the best. And the wurst. Because Urban
Meyer has a way with B-O-L-O-N-G-A.

Yeah, that's how I interpreted it. Obviously some others thought it was
fertile ground for interpreting it as something else...

Unpossible. I broke it some time ago and you couldn't afford to have
it fixed.

He didn't leave Florida for his health, or his family. He left Florida
because he wasn't recruiting the kind of athlete he needed to keep that
program going strong. Mushchamp isn't a bad coach, he just doesn't have
much talent on his team.
