Urban Meyer speaks highly of Tennessee job.

[pharmDvol11]

That’s nice but Urban ain’t driving the van on this road trip. Nope, like everyone else, he’s in the back seat, on the hump facing the rear.

 

[gatorjj3]

Urban would go 5-7 his first 2 years here because there’s not a QB on this roster that fits his system. He’s an average coach without a true dual threat

chris leak would disagree

Lol. Myer=Gruden

Tennessee certainly has the potential to be a Top 10 job.

Is it currently? I don't think so. I personally would not rate it as a Top 15 job and it's quickly on it's way out of the Top 20.

But it can certainly be a Top 10 job.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

Won't relitigate it, but absolutely no one would call a coach a quitter if they left a school after one year to come to Tennessee as to coach if they called Tennessee "was their dream job."

They'd call him a masochist

He is also an average coach when he doesn't have Mullen to coach the offense. I would much rather have Kiffin, and I would never ever hire Kiffin for anything.

This is ludicrous. He did not have Mullen at Ohio State and won big time there.

 

[k-town_king]

He won a national title with Leak as his QB....

And a monster team around him.

You’re welcome

Just 14 years ago...lol!

Urban Meyer speaks highly of Tennessee job

As he should, the job is one of the top programs historically in College football. Yes it's been run into the ground by incompetence over the last several years but with the right people it can return to it's rightful place among the top 10/12 programs year in and year out.

What title squad in recent history did not have a monster team around their QB?

Depends on what you call big Time winning

In 7 seasons at OSU his overall record was 83-9. Conference recording during that span was 54-4. 3 conference titles & 1 natty.

There’s a 100% chance that he coaches again.

This is easily the stupidest post in the entire history of this forum. He is the best college football coach not named Nick Saban of the last forty years, and it's not close. He has effected a more dramatic and immediate turnaround at every place he coached than 99% of coaches have ever effected anywhere.

 

[Mtnvol80]

First, I can't believe anyone seriously thinks he's coming. There's zero chance of that happening.

Second, I can't believe the mental gymnastics some are trying to imply he's not a good coach. He's easily near the top of all time. The dude wins big and has done it everywhere.

 

[lifeisdeep]

It may speak to my morals but I'd rather have a shi--y person who is a great coach lead our team than a decent person who is a shi--y coach...

Do you want a nice guy who's an incompetent heart surgeon doing your triple-bypass, or a SOB who's the best heart surgeon east of the Mississippi? Not even a question.

Our AD will never go after an elite coach.

It just is what it is.

Absolutely there is.... and if we have a chance to bring him here you do it as an AD. That is the big boy move we haven’t made that has us in our current situation.

The stupidest in the entire history of this forum? So you’ve read EVERY post that’s ever been posted here? Wow, are you employed?

Just basic common sense. He didn't leave OSU because he got burned out; he left because OSU forced him out because of the assistant on his staff who was abusing his wife and the fact Urban lied about when he knew about it.

He is a driven, type-A personality to the extreme. Anyone who has the slightest modicum of common sense should know he wasn't just throwing out random compliments about us in that video; as someone noted in another thread, those comments were calculated. He may not have completely decided yet in his mind that he would come here, but I guarantee you he knows - not thinks, knows - he could turn this around, and he is motivated by the challenge rather than afraid of it.

Bottom line, he knows what it would do for his legacy if he came here and won a NC with us after where we have been in the last eleven years, and he misses coaching because he's as competitive as any human being that ever walked the face of the earth, and if we offered him the right price - whether that be $9 million or $12 million - he would come here tomorrow.

He's not Jon Gruden, who never coached a day as a HC in college and had won a Super Bowl, and even then, despite what some on here would have us believe, was ready to come here but our AD screwed it up. Meyer has never coached a day in the NFL, has never even mentioned, to my knowledge, wanting to coach in the NFL; he's a college coach, college is what he knows, he's among the very best to ever do it, and he knows what he could do with our talent that according to some is the worst in the history of all teams that had this many four- and five-stars.

We never get the all-star coaches because we don't really make the effort. Bama made Saban the highest-paid coach in D-I when he was hired; if we made an offer that would do the same for Meyer, he would be our next coach.
