Florida Fans - what did Urban leave for Muschamp? Arguing with a buckeye

Pretty sure one of the last classes Urban recruited was supposed to be the best recruiting class ever. Or something like that. I think he saw the writing on the wall having to compete against Saban every year.

But that was a freshman class. What did he have for the next cople years?

Don't know what Urban left the gators, but he left because he couldn't dominate the conference like he can the big whatever.

Fear and cowardice. That's what drove him to Columbus.

Saban made his arse quit...pretty simple.

I really think Saban being in direct competition had something to do with it. Maybe not all of it, but I think it played a part in his decision.

Urban built so much of his team around Tebow that he had stopped even trying to build his "spread option" concept.

Yep. Saban is a maniac, the Urb knew he couldn't match that.

That and the rest of the teams in the SEC are pretty relentless as well. Georgia was (and continues) to snake top talent out of Florida that Urban wanted - Aaron Murray being one of the better examples.

Plus FSU and Miami as in-state death rivals - all of that adds up to stress panic and fake heart attacks.

Heeellllooo Columbus! Easy conference, no in-state rivals, and Urb is back in business.

Cowardice sent him to Ohio. Period.

Well.....the SOB didn't leave Tebow for Muschamp to have qb his team. If he had...Boom would have waited to implement something other than a spread offense.

In all seriousness...Urban did recruit some great classes but had fallen short with OL and we suffered because three straight years we had only TWO OL signed each year from high school...that's a recipe for disaster. Boom got Tyler Moore from Nebraska and Max Garcia from Maryland to transfer to UF after being previous starters at those schools...otherwise we would be 1-9 or 2-8 right now.

Boom inherited a weak team that didn't have the tough nose football instincts that SEC football is all about...in ONE year he transformed the defense into the countrys best, won SEC Coach of the Year and we went to BCS bowl. He is working on the offense but everybody who knows anything about football knows that defense is where you start first in rebuilding a team and recruiting showed that. Last year we went out and got a lot more offensive talent and next year we will be loaded friends...we have very few seniors. We will have depth except OL for the most part...hopefully we can get a JUCO talent like Trenton Brown last year to come on board...we will have six very good OL with starting experience and just need grown men who are shaving everyday to provide help.
