If you think about it, this defense, with every passing week grows stronger and stronger as a testament to how big a factor Monte's coaching REALLY is. Leading up to the season, it was just talk...but every game is bearing out.
With the players CLK, CEO, and CMK are after, this defense is going to be an absolute terror in the SEC. I think getting some face time with Monte and staff has him well aware of the golden opportunity before him. You just don't ever see such a renowned DC from the NFL take a large paycut to make a lateral move down into the college ranks.
Without Monte, I could see the lure of UF for him...but I think Meyer is plenty aware what he's up against in recruiting and on the field from here on out.
