Jeff in D.C. Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4772952 The only thing I don't get is why he's announcing this now, before the bowl game. It's going to be a huge distraction for the team now. As for some of you speculating that he's coming here, I don't want Gators 2.0 here. :doh: And if coaching at UF caused him health problems, what would working for Danny and this dysfunctional mess do to him? One thing to keep in mind though, he & Bruce Allen worked within a 2-hour drive of each other for several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodriggo Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Oh....no.....God.....no.....please......no......God......no. Not Urban Meyer and Tebow. Please no. Anything but that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarpon75 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Bull ****ing **** he resigns due to health reasons. He resigns due to the fact that he doesn't know what to do without the Golden Child. So what did he do during his other 20 years as a coach? Didnt he win a national title without Tebow starting at QB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwentyOne Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Stunned to hear this. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Urban Meyer. He's a great coach who ran a classy program at each of his three coaching destinations. It's really strange to have an elite level college football head coach step down in his prime, especially due to health reasons. From reports it seems he's being precautious and wanting to spend some time with the family. And as for him being our next HC, lets pray Dannyboy has learned his lesson.

McSkin30 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 All the talk about running away from a UF team without Tebow is garbage. Has anyone watched the guy replacing him??? John Brantley is a far superior pro-style QB to Tebow. Sure, he can't do the goofy fake run, jump pass that TT loves so much, but his mechanics and decision-making are great. Stats for 2009: Comp - 36 Att - 48 % - 75 TD - 7 Yds - 410 Int - 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff in D.C. Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Urb would seem like a pretty big hypocrite (and liar) if he resigned from UF for health reasons and then two/three weeks from now was introduced as the next head coach of an NFL team.

styx491 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Maybe he's trying to take a year off or something and then transition to the NFL. This way he can play the sympathy health card this year and the Florida fanbase won't hate him for leaving, and he can take a year to see what he wants to do and then get "recovered" and offered a job somewhere.

RedskinWarship Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 if he lied about not having heart attacks then he would lie about resigning because of the heart attacks he didn't have!!!!!!!!!!! nick saban set the bar for lying ass SEC coachs!!!!!!!!! urban myer WILL coach cleveland. in 2011 mark my woids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myzhi Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 If Urban Myer wanted to be NFL coach, I would think the last thing he would do is resign due to health issues. This pretty much takes him out of any coaching job for at least 1 year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised to see him angle for the Jaguars job if Jack Del Rio gets broken off. From what I hear, the entire city of Jacksonville wants them to draft Tebow.

wvtbred Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 i will officially turn in my Skins fan card if he becomes the Skins HC Ditto and Meyer sees the writing on the wall with Saban in the SEC now. Alabama will rule the SEC for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaceman Spiff Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 So what did he do during his other 20 years as a coach? Didnt he win a national title without Tebow starting at QB? I'm not saying he's quitting cause Tebow is leaving. I'm saying I think it helps him make his decision a lot easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went to a highschool right outside Of Jax. in Ponte Vedra, Fl. from what i understand and all the jags fan i talk to would love to have him.

HailToTheRedskins14 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Bull ****ing **** he resigns due to health reasons. He resigns due to the fact that he doesn't know what to do without the Golden Child. He was fine at Utah and I honestly think he'd be fine at Florida without Tebow. He won a NC with Chris Leak. I don't care for the guy, being a Dawg fan and all, but he's a top 2 or 3 college coach right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are clearly underestimating how good a recruit John Brantley is. He'll be a much better QB than Tebow was/is. Will he be a better football player? Who knows, but Florida has been pulling in top 5 recruiting classes for the past 4 or 5 years. They are poised to contend for a very long time.

gatorskin77 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 He has a heart valve defect, and he is not leaving Florida he is going to stay on with a job title to be named latter. If he ever coaches again which is doubtful it will be at Florida or some other university. He has never been an NFL fan and rarely watches NFL games. He will never coach in the NFL.

DarrellsMyHero28 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 he's scared of Lane Kiffin The only thing Meyer needed to be worried about with Kiffin is that UT would surpass UF on the list of dirtiest programs in college football.

Chicken Fried Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 It's not because of Tebow. He'd be fine without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Dog Night Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 First of all, Meyer was a winner at Bowling Green and Utah before he ever came to Florida. He was 22-2 at Utah including a 12-0 season the year before he took the Florida job, so if you think his success is tied to Tebow, well, you are just ignorant. Second, if he wanted to leave Florida to coach in the NFL, he'd say as much. Not that I know the guy but from all indications he is a man of high character and he wouldn't blatantly lie about his reasons for leaving. Third, if he does have heart problems, the Redskins coach is the last job in all of organized football that he should take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
