Meyer talking big

[Gatorrick22]

Meyer's just one throat-attack away from quitting on his team..........again.

[gatorman_07732]

Nothing there

[rpmGator]

So undefeated at Utah, winning at Bowling Green, two crystal balls, and undefeated at OSU, is ignored so you can say he got lucky and was given something.

And on the throat thing, he coached here another year until the noise in the system, the same noise that ran off SOS, just got too loud and helped him out the door.

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.

[1gatorbear]

Sour grapes.

[Gulfsailinggator]

Man, the lot of you sound like bitter ex-girlfriends. Grow up. Yes urban is a scumbag. Most if these used car salesman are. He brought two titles, lied and left. No story here. He will do the same at Ohio state.

No, im asking if there was another undefeated coach in D1 football for the 2012-2013 season.

I cant predict the future and if you could I imagine you would be the king of vegas.

Are you really trying to blame us Gator fans for running Meyer off? Really?

after those 2009 / 2010 beatdowns, meyer wants nothing to do with saban and alabama.

His playbook limits what blitz packages you can run especially with a dynamic dual threat qb (Tebow/Newton) and receivers that could get on top of the defense (Murphy/Cooper).

Very well said...
Very astute...

We will see what he does with Ohio State this coming fall.
Yes, he has a VERY EASY schedule. Even easier than Georgia's last year.
People seem to forget that not only did Georgia's easy schedule allow them to win more games... but they did not get nicked up like we did... playing the tougher teams.
By mid-season... some of our playmakers (as few as we DID have)...were out for the Georgia game. (Patton).

patton got hurt during the ga game

[ofmgator]

Afriend of mine here in Atlanta knows Jeremy and privately found that Meyer realized yhat he could not beat Bama once Timmy was gone so he bailed. I believe that! tosu has never beaten an SEC team in a bowl game!

[rpmGator]

Yep, same thing was done to SOS. Took the fun out of it for SOS when perfection was the only thing fans could live with. It was also the reason he didn't come back, as it was just more fun to go somewhere where he could have fun again.

When Meyer had health problems and pics of him at that time should show any fool the truth of the matter, he was attacked instead of defended.

Which one did you do?

The insults about his illness continue today, so maybe it should be obvious that we have some jackass fans like any other team.

I watched the interview with his daughter on Meyers health. Her words about her dad is nowhere near the same as what the jerks continue to believe.

I can cheer against OSU even with Meyer. But can also see the light of day through the crystal he left us.

urban legend---spurrier left uf because of fans.

SwampMaster:
I stand corrected...you are right.
However... a bunch of our linemen were dinged up. I know that the papers said otherwise... but I KNOW otherwise.

We challenged his ethics and sportsmanship over a few actions during the 2008 and 2009 seasons. He did not like being questioned and pitched a holy fit with Foley. We remained in the group.

I have no respect for the man, and stated so during his last years here. I saw what was happening and thought our program deserved better. (Even had some arguments here with a moderator or two for openly stating my objections with the man when it was unpopular and not readily allowed here.)

That said, I have no problems with his comments about his program. Mostly I read it to say THE Ohio State University program is currently at neither Alabama, in specific, nor SEC, in general, standards. But they are working toward that.

I am amused that his continued lack of ethics shines through however. It is against the Coaches Association ethical standards for a coach to offer a prediction of a contest between other programs. Kevin Sumlin was asked to give a prediction on the BSCCG game and refused, stating the standard. Urban jumped right in the pool predicting Notre Dame to win a close game.

Urban has not met an ethical standard man enough to control his desire to do or say whatever he wishes.

Thank you for the inside information.
I had heard stuff like this from some other Bull Gator sources... but what you have shared above... hits it more clearly.

Yes, all of us are very grateful for the two National Championships... but there was a side of Meyer that did not appeal to me. That's all I will say. I will not go into details.

Let's just say that I am VERY HAPPY that we have Muschamp as our coach.

He could have gone 8-3 this year and I would have loved the guy.
He's genuine...
He's loyal and downright emotional to the Gator Nation...
He's smart and knows his football X's and O's.
He does not put up with any BS from the team...
He is a phenominal recruiter and closer!
He's from Gainesville, for crying out loud!

Does anyone think that if Muschamp was the head coach at Notre Dame and was raised as a boy in South Bend... that he would be talking to the NFL after a bowl game?
Who would you rather have as the Head Coach of your Gators?
Kelly... or Will Muschamp?
Urban Meyer or Will Muschamp?
No contest!

[rpmGator]

We have fans that still hate Doug Dickey.

The new guy is always the popular guy. How long that lasts is undetermined.

Fickle is, what it is.

I find his comments totally consistent with what I've come to expect from Meyer: hypocrisy. His team is simultaneously able to "compete with anyone" AND has "big holes to fill"? Really? How's that?

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.

[GatorSean]

Gee... Urbs is basically saying the SEC is the best conference and his own team wouldn't isn't as good.

Yep... he's definitely talking big... ABOUT THE SEC.

This is just another example of how some people let their hate completely skew their views. Everything he says and does gets twisted into something else. I used to get upset with those people, now I just pity them. I imagine they are still filled with rage from when they were dumped in middle school.

I am glad he threw "some other colors" on his shirt -- notwithstanding his words below.

“I made this clear to Jeremy Foley (Florida Athletic Director), if I am able to go coach, I want to coach at one place, the University of Florida. It would be a travesty, it would be ridiculous to all of a sudden come back and get the feeling back, get the health back, feel good again and then all of a sudden go throw some other colors on my shirt and go coach? I don’t want to do that. I have too much love for this University and these players and for what we’ve built.” — Urban Meyer, after resigning at UF (the first time) and then coming back to coach a day later.

People change their minds. I bet you will at least 3 times today.I cant believe you actually believed that when he said it.

thank you for speaking it.
URBAN left because his program was out of control.
He was out of control.
He had to get out of Dodge.
HE DID.
And then...
a miracle happened.
His dream job opened up.
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..
