Urban Meyer: He gone ... sort of

Re: Urban Meyer: He gone

If it's that meaningless, he should step aside and at least attempt to allow the focus to be on his players, rather than soak up a solid week of non-stop media fawning.

But I guess the bright side is the Tebow Bowl just became the Meyer Bowl. I'm not sure which is more nauseating.

 

Re: Urban Meyer: He gone

I only break out this well-worn joke ironically in order to circumvent those who would post it and think to themselves "LOL!"

Meyer can coach the bowl but not after it because then Tebow won't be able to lay hands on him.

There, it's done, now nobody can use it. Preemptive strike.

If it isn't his typo, it likely wouldn't be the worst thing to appear on a top paper's Web site in the last hour, let alone ever.

Who needs editors? We've got some facts, some half-facts, some bullshit and some typos. Throw it all up there and let God sort it out.

was footballcoachscoop.com FIRST TO REPORT this news?

 

Re: Urban Meyer: He gone

I like the odds of that not happening, myself, YGster.

And mb, any coach stepping up the FBS ladder is of course suspect about what he says during a courtship by a bigger program. But I would tend to trust what he says when he jumps off the top of the ladder. I suspect you're just hotwired to think everyone in sports is a liar.

And slave, there's utterly no reason he should step aside for the bowl. He's taken this team this far, no reason for him not to finish it out.

What chance does Charlie Weiss have of getting this job? He's a good football guy. People still think a lot of him.

 

Re: Urban Meyer: He gone

Umm ... about that.

 

Re: Urban Meyer: He gone

ESPN's Bottom Line is saying his source was Meyer himself.

 

Re: Urban Meyer: He gone

Good point, deskslave

 

Re: Urban Meyer: He gone

Yes. Herbstreit talked to him this afternoon.

 

Re: Urban Meyer: He gone

Is the cynicism warranted just yet? There's a tremendous difference between the stress of coaching his last game -- with nothing but pride on the line -- 6 days after he announced his resignation, and coaching for an entire season, knowing he essentially has to go undefeated to make the national championship, recruiting, practices, game strategy, etc. What's so implausible about a doctor saying "You just can't do this for a living anymore," and Meyer responding "What difference will one more game make?"
