schools like alabama, notre dame, ohio state, usc---dream jobs. Florida---a good job, with a pathway to a dream job in the pros or at a bigtime university.

That he talks out of both sides on his mouth should surprise no one. He's crafty. I'll give him that. He tells the OSU folks what they want to hear and then lowers expectations in the same sentence. Genius. Glad that snake oil salesman is no longer wearing O&B.

Maybe the big holes he is referring to are in his esophagus. Try the purple pill

LOL. That's like saying you are happy if your wife thinks that you are one of her top 5 lays ever. The gap b/w Saban as a coach and Urban as a coach is so great that it sent his azz to the hospital. I agree that Urban is a great coach when he has a QB that is better than everybody else.

In all likelihood Meyer will get his team to a BCS bowl next year where he will likely face an SEC team. He will see then how many holes he still has left to fill.

Like Josh Harris, Alex Smith, Chris Leak, Tim Tebow, Braxton .... wait, maybe Meyer is a good coach after all ...

Let go of your need to defend urban -- that's Shelly's job now.

How about this, if you don't like people calling you a scorned women, and you don't like people defending Urbs, why don't YOU let it go and stop making threads about him?

There would be nothing for me and others to defend if YOU would just let it go. We're not the ones creating these threads, are we?

I mean, this is an 8 page thread now, and I don't see a SINGLE person who thinks he said something wrong as you implied. Doesn't that tell you something?

I didn't imply it -- I came right out and explicitly stated it. If you didn't see a SINGLE person who agreed, then you need to sharpen your reading skills and go back and re-read the posts. If you don't like these threads, then don't click on them. How's that for empowering you to take control of your life?

Who said I don't like people calling me a scorned "women"? Where did you see that?

Funny thing is, most of you blasted Addazio until Meyer left. Now its all on Meyer who's coaching results speak for itself.

Your lack of concern for Meyer when he needed us, means you failed him, not the other way around as we still have the majority of our crystal balls, due to his work here.

You know, I've been semi critical in the way he departed. But this post is really a great reality/ perspective check. Great post. Still a little frustrated about him staying on just to help his assistants. But really, can you blame him? Those assistants helped him get those crystal balls. As time goes by, I believe most on here will change their tune. (Or not)

Like I said earlier, it will be very interesting to see how people react when we play them in a bowl game. (Myself included)

[gatorr4life]

That being said, I still don't understand why he chose to go to a place where the pressure is exactly the same. (if not worse)

Particularly now that he set the bar high for himself going undefeated in his throw-away season.

I find it interesting that on the ESPN set at the BCSCG one of the talking heads questioned whether there was anyone who could challenge Saban. He said this right in front of Meyer. Meyer said NOTHING! He was as timid as he could have been. Then, once he's out of sight of Saban, he begins talking. Why not talk when he was on the set?

Let it go. He was paid to do a job in Gainesville at "that other school" and he did it. He's gone. Let it go. You don't need to watch out for sick little urban anymore. He's gone. His esophageal spasms have gone away. You can stop.

I still think it would have been the ultimate in hilarious if Saban had snuck up behind him on TV and yelled "BOO!"

I have no idea how to respond. When my kids wake up in the morning maybe they can help. :/

Why, do your kids have special education degrees? It's good of them to help their challenged old man. ;-\

But, frankly I wouldn't count on them to fight your fights for you . . . challenged or not, some day you have to learn to stand on your own two feet. Your kids may grow tired of this and move away.

Seriously, though, it's good that you get on these message boards and try to mainstream into society. There's a guy who calls into the Finebaum show on a regular basis who is doing that, too. Props to you, tilly!

a miracle happened.

One of them.
He could not wait.
He is a good coach.Maybe great.
He has not proven that he can maintain a program like Spurrier.
He works for NOW.
He plays favorites and breaks his own rules when it suits him.
Coaches come to catch some glory then bolt.
He runs out of good assistants that can seamlessly transition from one to the next year...the house collapses.
He moves on..

What HE said. Rep to you Steve.

As for how can anybody beat Alabama (much, much easier said than done ) I don't think the Buckeyes will be in that conversation.

You beat Bama by either having an otherworldly offense like Oregon or TAM or by playing their game better than they do. Florida may be able to employ both approaches if all goes right. That's what my wish is for and it is my personal belief that Florida wins a national championship before OSU.

Ohio State is going to get players but they won't get the same elite people that top SEC programs get. The type of players Bama, LSU, Georgia and Florida get. Meyer will win Big 10 tiles. He will beat Michigan. He will talk the best game in the world but when it comes down to it... like in 2014 when the playoffs start and assuming OSU qualifies.... his Buckeyes won't be very different from Tressel's Buckeyes.

Gator Bait.

Meyer is getting elite talent.

Meyer's going to play a weak schedule and try to go undefeated and with his past success campaign to get his team in the big game.

Yep...

I'll add in a comment from my man Omar:

"Toward the end of Coach Meyer's time here, a lot of guys were out for themselves" explains defensive lineman Omar Hunter. "He was out for himself, so they thought the same thing."

Who said I didn't like these threads? I find your revisionist history and hypocrisy truly fascinating.

Rest assured, every time you twist the truth in a feeble attempt to justify your hate, I'll be here.
