Spurrier zings The Liar

"The only thing I know, back in 2008, I think Florida had the No. 1 class, and two years later, that No. 1 class drove Urban Meyer to retirement. Of course, he came back a year later and he's an excellent coach, but I know later there were comments that that No. 1 class just didn't pan out. Of course, it usually pans out at Alabama every year. But, again, recruiting is extremely important, but after they get there is really what's most important."

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 Liar

he's totally different isn't he?.. and one of the great college coaches of all time. Proud he was a Gator. I'm glad we have WM right now, but I loved him when he was here. It would be interesting to see where we would be if he was still in Gaineville, I need that crystall ball. I'd have to think we would have won at least one more NC, maybe 2.

That sounds like a real zinger. "Spurrier compliments Meyer on being a great coach."

Yet they had a good relationship, talked in the summers, Meyer visiting with Spurrier at the league meetings about living in Gainesville, coaching at Florida, balancing work and family. Sounds like a real strained relationship.

i think he was just pointing out that even w/ the #1 class, things can go haywire. bama, seems to be immune to it. it may be more about just getting in the top guys that are top character guys. too often, it appears, some of the top 5-stars have peaked, or are primadonna's or have coasted on their natural abilities and don't want to put the work in to get to that next level. bama seems to be immune thus far.

I doubt it, he won 1 in 12 years, he wouldn't have matched or exceeded Meyer's 2.

Sounds to me like he called him a quitter who (1) quit on the program he loves and (2) quit on the 2008 Gator signing class.

Its good Meyer didn't get asked to respond- I imagine it would've involved something about stress being harder on the recruiting trail than it is on the 15th green at Augusta.

Yeah, that might have been Meyer's comeback. Or his response might have been to clutch his chest and fall on the ground in a fetal position -- then have Shelly come and carry him away.
