They wouldnt fire Weis for Brian Kelly but they certainly could for Gruden. I dont think it would happen but hey, you never know.

Meyer is a hotter coach in college right now. I know chucky is big but to be honest I think coach Meyer makes a bigger splash.

I dont see CUM leaving UF. First off, UF will pony up the cash to keep him there, secondly, ND will not compete for national championships year in and out anymore. Last, CUM will have an easier job of recruiting staying at UF. He basically could field at top 5 class every year and not leave the state of Florida.

After the 1st yr in Tampa when Chucky won the SB his record is 47-53. I would not count that has a top notch coach who had plenty of time to turn their offense around but always played the Spurrier QB carousel, I am so glad we did not hire him. Such a waste to have had such a strong defense over the yrs but sucked on offense.

CUM will leave UF behind the cowboys. ND is the biggest coaching gig out there. If he wins there he will go down as a god.

I disagree. History? Yes. Deep pocket? Yes. In terms of colleges that CAN pay the same amount for a coach and would have an easier time recruiting and bringing in recruits, there are at least 5 other schools that I can think of off hand that would be better.

UF
UGA
Texas
USC
Oklahoma
Ohio State
LSU
Alabama

I agree right now with you. But if you build a winner at ND and with how the media loves ND every kid would love to play for them. Look they still have top classes and haven't done any thing in the last 15 years. With CUM as the head coach that would change.

The rational thing for Urban Meyer to do is to spend the rest of his career at UF, make a pantload of money, win a bunch more SEC championships and a maybe another national championship or two, and enjoy the weather. And then when he's over it, retire. If I were his friend, that's what I'd urge him to do. And that's probably what he will do.

However. Meyer is a Catholic boy from the midwest. If the Domers set their mind to it, then they have more money than anybody. And no college football coach has ever won a national title at two different schools. Very few coaches win more than one national championship to begin with, but if Meyer were to win two at UF and then go to Notre Freaking Dame in their current condition and win another one? Suddenly he's up on Mount Rushmore with Knute Rockne and Bear Bryant as arguably the greatest college coach of all time. I've seen way too many coaches leave good situations for "other challenges" to dismiss it out of hand.

Dont agree with any of that, you sound like you want him to stay at UF. ND is Meyers dream job, end of, he has stated that several times. He can recruit anywhere and would recruit well at ND. Notre Dame can outspend anyone if they really want to. Urban Meyer will be the next Notre Dame coach wether you like it or not!

I don't see this happening at all, but hey anything is possible I guess.

Maybe we can get Monte to sweet talk him into coming on as a grad assistant also. :) J/K

I've got a co-worker that is a UF alumni, read Meyers book and all that jazz. He thinks that Meyer will end up at ND someday (if the job is open), but not until his kids are grown up. He's already turned them down once at the behest of his family.

Who knows, I could see him going next year after Tebow is gone if Weiss continues the mediocrity there next year.

I think you will see Gruden do the tv thing for a year and then get back into coaching on the NFL level.

You are probably right! What NFL teams haven't hired a coach yet? I know the raiders are still looking, but no way he would go back there...

A bidding war with ND would be a losing battle for UF, mark it down. I know for a fact that when someone in the media said that Weis was protected by his buyout one of the boosters, not even the top booster said that his buyout was pocket change. The only way CUM doesn't end up at ND will be either Weis starts winning again or CUM just wants to stay in Florida because he is content there.

How is ND more attractive as a job than UF right now? One is winning NC's and the other just won their first bowl game in like a century.:crazy::crazy::crazy:

Why would anyone leave a head coaching job in Tampa for a head coaching job in South Bend, Indiana? It doesn't make sense. Gruden's not leaving the Bucs.

You have to remember that the only reason Notre Dame is just barely wnning is because of the coaching.

They have a national recruiting base. They can literally go into 20 states in a giver year and pick off at least one if not more of the top 5 players in that state. They have a legitimate shot at nearly 40% of the top 100. They have a legacy, with alumni that stretches from seattle washington, to Miami, FL.

A Notre Dame might take 1-2 years to fix for CUM, but with his talent and if Charlie Strong came with his defense mind, they would surely be a player again.

The reality also is money, if a booster thinks 18 million dollars is pocket change for a buyout, then why could the next coach not make 8 million dollars annually? Would you change from CUM salary to 8 Million?
