That was a pretty bad LSU team. But he stuck around and rebuilt

He is responsible for what was left at UF and it was nothing. All those 5 stars and not one decent lineman? really?

Let's put it this way. If Urban HAD left after the Bama beatdown, he would be cleaner in this. He didn't leave and he dropped the ball at Florida. I don't see how anyone can say he didn't.

If Saban leaves Bama tomorrow, they should be in a solid state wouldn't you say? So if the new coach comes in and goes 6-6, you could point to the NEW coach. Meyer LEFT the UF program in the shape it is now. So that does fall on him.

You think he's a great coach. I do not. End of story, we disagree

If a coach came and put the spread in over there, I certainly would expect some growing pains. They overhauled the offense completely. I wouldnt just assume it was Saban's fault more than the new coach.

Look I get that Meyer is a dickhead of the highest order, and I certainly would pump my breaks over his condition, but he has kicked arse everywhere he went. Bowling Green, Utah had the most impressive non-AQ team I have ever seen, and won two titles in the toughest conference in America. I dont get why people thumb their nose at this guy.

When he isn't doing an overly theatrical eyeroll when anyone compliments an SEC team other than Florida.

Florida should hire Tressel.

IMO, I think he saw the writing on the wall the season after Tebow's Sr year. If it was that much about health he would have left when he first said he was stepping down. There was a huge drop in talent last year compared to the year before and I think Meyer was trying to get out because he knew it would take a few years to rebuild again so he wanted to leave to maintain his value in case a job closer to home became available.

That's just my take on it.

Is that guy reputable?

ETA: And I would just consider him a backslider.

He retired, what, two years ago from coaching because of health issues/family issues after having already taken a leave of absence and now he's already returning to the fold?I dont know if hypocrisy is the right word, but how many times is this guy going to cry wolf? Is OSU not worried about him taking a leave of absence after one season





Yes. He strikes me as completely full of shite at this point.

We have a winner. Urb left Florida in terrible shape and got lazy. It will be interesting to see if he stays lazy.
