The Urbie Watch Begins

I think Strong should get the job, but I do think UF would explore options. For instance, if UM left for ND and Bill Cowher made his interest known, do you really believe that UF wouldn't seriously entertain the notion? UF is a prime job and the AD will explore all options. I doubt Foley has restricted his ability to do that. JMO.

I tend to agree with you on this one but only after Strong is first interviewed and if that doesn't land him the job then UF will have an impressive NFL short list with names like Shanahan and Gruden but names like Kelley and Doc Holliday will be consider IMO.

:ermm: Dude... THREE SUPERBOWL RINGS as head coaches with ties to the states of FL and Cali which is huge in recruiting. {Sidenote Mike Hamilton thought he would be good for UT but Gruden turned down interview... guess its a case of "he wasn't good enough anyway"}

Nice edit...

If Gruden turned us down when he started out here and his wife was a cheerleader here, what makes you think he would go to UF? Because he coached in Tampa? You're crazy. You must think that Gruden is Haitian or something.

I think HG is right. UF is a premier gig. Easy recruiting and not a rebuild project. Gruden has always talked about the Gators in a way that you would have thought he was already on the payroll. IMO he would consider the job. Shanahan is another story, he turned you down once during that Zook hiring debacle, I'm not sure Foley would risk that again.

whatever happened to the guy that use to run in to Gruden's mother in law at the post office? until he posts all this is just nonsense!

FL short list of coaches that Gators may go after. Gruden is just a name but Mike Shanahan with his UF ties, still comes to games while visiting his home in Jacksonville so UF could go that direction. Stoops is another name that will get considered even if he declined before because of UF ties and the state of both programs. UF sells itself and last I looked UF is the "CROWN" of the college football world so we're not going to have to hire an unproven coach because of his daddy's legacy.

Damn, I defend you and you respond with this? Can you really be the "CROWN" if you coach leaves you for another?

Actually he's half Haitian, half Jewish, half Scotch-Irish and of course half Cherokee.Four halves do make a whole doesn't it?

Wasn't knocking Lane just stated that he was unproven and if he wasn't a Kiffin no way guy with losing record gets Top 3 SEC gig. JMO "CROWN" is because of the media hype so UF won't have to sell the job as in years past. Program was headed down hill by 1998 and Zook couldn't beat anyone so why would any coach take the job. But if Meyer left we wouldn't have to look far.

Yeah, because he didn't just call the plays for the greatest offense in college football history at USC. He didn't get a HC job in the NFL, and he didn't have more success calling plays at that NFL job than anyone has done since then.

You're :crazy:

Great thread. Unless it is an outsider like what we got last December then their candidates will be playing in bowls. However, they may want to get a decision sooner than later because of the effect it may have on recruiting. In case Meyer does bolt for ND, Charlie Strong may coach the bowl but with his name linked to Virginia and the fact Groh may be getting the axe, it may get very dicey from here on out.

I have to think that if Urban does leave for Notre Dame, Charlie Strong probably has a head coaching job--at Florida.

Strong could already be gone to another program by the time Meyer bolts for Notre Dame. The perfect storm for me would be Strong leaving and the ND job being unfilled until Florida finishes their bowl game with uncertainty and speculation surrounding Meyer. I truly want to stomp Meyer's butt so I don't really want him to leave but the more uncertainty, the easier it is to recruit and possibly steal a few prospects from UF.

1. I don't think there is any chance Urban leaves for Notre Dame and people in North Florida have already said that a call was made and Meyer informed the contacted party to say "thanks, but no thanks".

2. If Meyer does leave, Strong wouldn't get the job. No chance of that happening. I would assume you look at the bigger names in college (most notably Bob Stoops, who may take a job here with our program so loaded and OU in a bit of a re-building mode). After that maybe you look at an NFL option like Gruden or Mike Mularkey.

3. After that it would be a proven up and comer...someone like Brian Kelly or Gary Patterson.

Agree partly about NFL coaches manily Gruden but no way ANY college coach gets an interview before Strong for so many reasons. It would make Foley and UF eat every word they have said about his coaching potential. Would be a media nightmare for UF. People and recruits in South Fla love CCS and that move would almost kill any pipelines into south fla and help Randy pull most the talent and give Coach Gran more access to the talent. Strong may not be overall choice but he'll be the college choice.

Notre Dame will force Meyer to publicly and personally turn down the biggest contract in college football history. Thier fans will accept nothing less.

Really man, you actually lend any credence to this crap? Wasted thread. Meyer is not going anywhere because his contract says he cannot entertain other offers until the final game of the regular season. He didn't meet with Notre Dame. Dooley is not going to let him go anywhere and neither is Slive.

That's right. And Saban is not leaving the Dolphins, either. End of story.

What a post, that makes more sense than anything else on here. That is the ONLY way they have a shot at him. But he HASN'T BEEN INTERVIEWED BY THEM YET. He'd be in breech of contract and could be sued by UF for doing so.

Every time one of these Rumor post shows up somewhere everybody starts to cream in their panties at the thought of Meyer taking off for greener pastures.

Look I want him gone as much as anyone, not because I don't think Kiffin will beat him, in a couple of years Kiffin will own him. I want him gone because he's an azzhole.
