my point is the guy can recruit and he can coach...Florida is a hot bed for recruiting and their academic standards are no where close to being what ND has there. He can drive to see any recruit he wants in the state and get them in to the university. there is no reason to leave unless the offer an un godly amount of money which they may do...i cant stand the guy and i hope he leaves just dont see him doing so. i hope i am wrong

I don't think Brantley is like Alex Smith either. He seems more like a pro-style quarterback trying to run the spread, kind of like Chris Leak.

And unless CUM has another Tebow to get third and shorts, it will be 8-4 seasons and trips to Tampa.

i dont think you can assume that though. If you watched the Florida game this past weekend. Tebow missed wide open receivers down the field the entire game that would have gone for touch downs. You have a guy that can see the field and those are big plays and we are talking about how dynamic their offense is. Tebow can run but he isnt a great passer. What happens when he gets a guy who can run and pass??

Brantley is not a pure runner and he is definitely not a tough running QB like Tebow that can get a couple yards on third and short. Additionally, they do not have a strong powerful running back to take this role either.

He is never going to find anybody to run that offense better than Tebow. It is ludicrous to imply that when CUM gets a better qb than Tebow that their offense will be better.

Like who? None of the great runners throw very well.

Defensive schemes will change as the florida offense evolves. Receivers will receive much more attention when a QB like Brantley is playing.

Nesbit. GT may not throw much. Maybe 8-15 attempts per game tops. But when Paul Johnson says throw, Nesbit seldom misses.

my whole point is the guy recruits great talent and he can coach. he did well at utah and has won at florida. its obserd to think he wont continue to do the same when your in a talent pool state like Florida. Given maybe he doesnt have the same success as he is having with right now with Tebow. But they are undefeated again while having a sub par year offensively. Why leave that situation to go to a school that you can't get the players in that are needed to win year in and year out.

would you say the talent on this offensive side of the ball is better this year than last? never said it would be ran better. but it will still be ran well. his system has worked well and see no reason with the talent the guy gets that it wont continue to do so

Wishful thinking...

They won't be as dominant as they've been in the Tebow era, but they still have more than enough talent to win 10+ games on a consistent basis.

Notre Dame sells itself and kids from Florida won't hesitate to play for him just because it's Notre Dame. If they liked him when they met him then they'd pry go to Notre Dame. If they have the grades that is. Then all Meyer has to do is show he can win 10 games in the first year or two. Then Notre Dame will be considered a national powerhouse again and Meyer will be praised. Kids will flock to him.

I would like him to be mediocre at Notre Dame but Meyer could probably win 10 games by his second season with the talent they have.

the thing is you cant get the same talent in to school at Notre Dame as you can Florida. Its one of the reasons he didnt take the job the first time. he wanted them to lower the academic standards some and they wouldnt do it.

Stanford and North Carolina have been doing alright and more kids want to play for Notre Dame. Meyer won't be able to get every kid he wants because of their grades. But, every kid that has good grades will want to play for a coach with two National Championships. He didn't have two National Championships to use as a recruiting tool the first time the Notre Dame offer came up. I can't even imagine the glory and endorsements he would get for winning a National Championship at Notre Dame. 1 NC for ND is a bigger deal than two NC's for Florida. Imo.

He may be able to recruit a little better at Florida, but he'll also have to regularly play UT, UGA, LSU, Auburn, and Bama...and a championship game as well.

At Notre Dame, he'll have an annual clash with SC, but that's about as bad as it gets...and there's no championship game to stumble in either. Theoretically, the road to the BCS is a lot easier from South Bend than it is from Gainesville.

What I remember about that kid was being 2 out of 13 or so in the 3rd quarter of the Miami game. And he's under 50% completion rate for the year and 46% for his career... so he doesn't strike me as being a very accurate passer.
