re: 2014 College Football Coaches Ranking: Saban #1; Miles #17

How do u excuse him for the complete mess he left behind at Florida? Do u have any idea how many issues and arrests he covered up? As a football coach that preaches never quit play it out to the bitter end each and every day and then quits himself, the first time he faces adversity as a coach. Thats the guy, u want coaching your team in the SEC or you list as #1 at his profession?
When the realization that his offensive system wasnt going to be enough to roll these SEC teams anymore with or without Tebow, he was done, rolled over easy. He was going to have to battle each and every day against the best on game day and the recruiting trail and couldnt hack it. He just wasnt cut out for this type of grind and pressure to win. When his leader and Heisman player left, along with all that talent Ron Zook left for him he knew he was about to be exposed. Meyer kept up the recruiting, I'll give him that. But talk about being set up to win. A locker room full of NFL talent and hungry to win is what Meyer walked into. And some talk about how easy Miles had it following a legend and a bunch of players who were hurt after Nick lied to them for months.
Youve got to be able to win consistently in a very competitive conference to be considered a Top 10 coach and u cant quit, ever. What a hypocrite.

Not many can come into the SEC and handle the grind, especially without a Heisman winner at QB, for more than 5-6 years, he was no different. It took SEC defensive coordinators that long to figure it out. When they did, he was done. Unlike Spurrier who gritted it out and had to change offensive philosophies at South Carolina, not talent rich Florida or Ohio State.
Winning at Ohio State will be much easier than winning in the SEC, that doesnt make him the better coach. He is a perfect fit for easy Ohio State, no doubt, and will as many games as anyone else moving forward. He was in a different class at BG and Utah and could do well there again.

But the SEC was too much for Urban, plain and simple. The inability to control the locker room and quitting puts Richt ahead of Meyer, altho that one is close. Richt does need to win more titles and should have by now, but he's at least tough minded enough to get up every morning and do his best.

I unlike u was not glad to see Urban leave. I wanted him to bury that program that we play each yr and his legacy. He should thank Muschamp over and over again for not coming public with the disaster he left him at Fla.
