"Urban Meyer's not a Gator. He's a caretaker of the Gator program," Sileo said. "Most times these coaches think they're the programs, but really, the program is the players. That's the problem I have with coaches whose egos get too big for their britches. If Urban doesn't like it, that's too bad."
From the story on ESPN. I know this has been discussed here before, but this goes to ALL SEC coaches. You're not the program. The players, fans, and alumni are- so check your ego at the door or you'll be out faster than shite through a goose.

Nothing against the original poster but that crap with Meyer/Mathews is so German it's Roman.

For all the reason's Sileo stated, this one bothers me from Urban more than any of the other stuff I've heard about from him were true. Granted, if I knew that all the crap said about his recruiting tactics, that would probably bother me the most. But I don't.
Urban needs to keep his trap shut about former players for that program. They are more of a "Gator" than Urban will ever be. I'd be pissed as hell if Saban called out a former Bama player and said he wasn't a "Bama Man" just because he was critical of something. It's totally ridiculous and if I were a Gator I'd be pissed as hell at Urban.

Why is it so easy to dislike half the coaches in the SEC? Not the schools, but actually the coaches?

So I'm supposed to care about the opinion of a loud mouthed former steroid popping scUM alumnus? 
I love how Low has this on the front page, but his beloved Tennessee signs a rapist, he tries to bury it.

So you have proof that Sileo took steroids?...yeah, I didn't think so.
And to parapharase Meyer "You're either a Ute or not a Ute. You're either a Falcon(Bowling Green) or not a Falcon". He needs to shut up.

True -- however, it would be a totally different case if that coach was also an Alum. I thought CUM making that underhanded jab at a former UF QB the other week was tasteless and immature -- grow up CUM, you aren't entitled to comment on any players that did not play under you ESPECIALLY if you aren't an Alum.

Yea I do think so. Sileo has bragged about taking riods and getting paid under the table at Miami on his radio show, numerous times. He is that type of loudmouth. Sorry if I don't take his opinion on UF matters seriously.

With all due respect, I don't give a damn that a former Hurricane doesn't consider Meyer a Gator, I don't even know why he was quoted in the story.

That of course does not apply to everyone such as alumni (ex. when Spurrier coached UF)

Well I would see your point if we were disputing something that needed facts to back it up, but we're not. He stated his opinion. Oh, and if you read the article, it also states Al Del Greco, Jay Barker, and Shane Matthews all saying the same thing- that they are doing their jobs.
I agree with Tuck though- I'm suprised more Gator fans aren't pissed at Meyer for this. That just goes to show you how apparently everyone on Gainesville thinks he walks on water and can do no wrong. I know Miles would be in deep shite if he ever called out a former LSU player, especially a prominent one.

I know Shane, he's a good guy, a Mississippi boy. He, Wuerffel, and Kerwin Bell have run a summer football camp on the campus in Gainesville for years (BMW Football camp, I think). In Meyers' first or second year at UF, Dan Mullen was out watching Shane run a practice and call some Spurrier-type plays...bombs and such. Mullen was walking by Shane and made some comments that that shite wouldn't work in the SEC, it was bush league ball, etc. Shane called Mullen out telling him it worked pretty good for UF in the 90's. This all happened in front of the kids at camp. Mullen (and Meyer) never apologized to Shane for the comments, or clarified what Mullen meant.
It's been a sore subject for Shane since then. He's pretty much a Gator homer and thinks Meyer is doing a great job, but Urban's almost an arse for dismissing the success the Gators had prior to his arrival.
My wife's a huge Gator fan and she really can't stand Meyer...calls him Mr. Personality.

Honestly this is Meyers program, and it will be that way as long as he coaches here no question. He has put more into this program than almost anyone(Spurrier obviously put more.)
This all started by Meyer defending his own kids. If anyone doesn't want their coach to do that, I don't know what to tell you. This has been taken way further than it have been, and some a-hole cane commenting on it doesn't mean a thing.

Gators support Meyer because this is a non-issue. People trying to make a mountain out of mole hill.
Meyer has the right to say that he will not grant inside access to people he feels are hurting the program. Meyer commits a lot of time away from his family to bring championships back to Gainesville, he is a Gator as much as Matthews and everyone else.

Why can't everyone understand that the whole story is not being told? Meyer was pissed at some comments that he felt hurt recruiting. End of story. If he feels that Shane is an arse for saying some crap that would hurt recruiting then so be it.
This will all pass. It's no big deal.
Oh, and 2 national championship in 3 years will make you one cocky summbitch fo' sho'.
