JamesCraven Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 According to Woody Paige on ESPN2's "Cold Pizza" this morning (11/17/04), University of Utah football coach Urban Meyer will be named the new head coach at the University of Florida soon. Details to follow. "I better go take a long walk off a short pier or something."Some people on this bolard have told me to do just that.My "Ron Mexico" alias is "Jon Tobago".

pcgd Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I hear ya yale. I wish Illinois would fire Ron Turner now so that we can hire a decent coach before all the good ones are gone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I was just hoping he would stay in Utah. I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CityOfWalrus Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Woody paige also a coke snorting junkie, Urban meyer can't leave UTah just like this after a great season, and then going to florida, and from hearing whats been going on Urban meyer won't be leaving. I hardly doubt this is true....Although if you said well Norm Chow was hired as the New head coach at hawaii and june jones was moved to OC then id be the happiest MF in the world!

Waffles Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Why would Meyer do something like this while his team is still in the hunt for a BCS bowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Why would Meyer do something like this while his team is still in the hunt for a BCS bowl? Because Florida has to make a move now in order to avoid falling any further behind in the in-state recruiting wars. Hence, they likely made Meyer an offer he simply couldn't refuse.

slapshot Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I guess it won't matter in Utah anyway. ESPN keeps promoting that BCS bowl as the bowl no one cares about. I'm thinking it's the Gator Bowl, Utah vs. Big East winner (most likely Boston College). So maybe Meyer can just stay at the Gator Bowl after the game, while his team goes home.

WJMorris3 Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 But the Gator Bowl is not a BCS bowl? This game might be the Fiesta Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_cynic Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 And Urban's comment was "That's absurd!"

I understand Florida's need to do this, I'm just saying it seems kinda Dennis Franchione of Meyer to take the job with his team in the hunt.

I was pissed that he coached our team in the Rose Bowl after announcing he was leaving to go to Alabama. I love the man but if you're gonna go, go, otherwise shut up about it until the season is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockchalk Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 *sigh* One more quality football coach Mizzou won't be hiring. Pinkel has to go!!!!!!!! But he's great theater! It'd be great to see him back again, just to see how many games he'll blow next year. Go 'Hawks!Re: Florida, I liked the idea of the Gators going after Mike Leach of Texas Tech. Can you imagine the scores that his teams in Gainesville would put up w/the talent that comes from the state of Florida, plus having a defense that doesn't suck? Spurrier's games against teams like East Carolina and Vandy would be commonplace against nearly everyone.

See Red Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 And Urban's comment was "That's absurd!"Â Here's a question for ya..........why would Urban Meyer settle for Florida when he wants Notre Dame, Ohio State, or Michigan? I really can't see any of those schools firing their coaches any time soon. Even though Ohio State sucked this year, I still think Tressel has some job security. Michigan will probably be in a BCS bowl, so their coach won't be going anywhere soon, and I don't believe Notre Dame has ever fired a coach before his contract is up, and Willingham's still got some years left.It's a shame for Alabama that Mike Prices conduct got him fired before he ever coached a game or anything because he really turned around UTEP, I think he would've done a great job at 'Bama.
