would love to hear posters' opinions on urban's departure from gainsville AND impending return in 2012?

will gator fans admit he is the douche bag the rest of us fans know him to be?

gator-bashing / sec-bashing / and other thoughts

rumor is he is bound for O-H ...I-O

He left because major violations are coming to Florida.

He just didn't want to be at Florida anymore. That is pretty obvious.

Someone always brings up possible marital infidelity as his reasoning for leaving FL....What's the story behind this?

Probably more to do with the competition in the sec, all forms. tOSU, is a much less stressful job.

i really do think he was extremely stressed out and it was affecting his health. but, i also think he was stressed by an increasingly competitive sec and having to compete against & recruit against some very good coaches. oh, and tebow left.

Saban literally almost gave him a heart attack. It was clear he was going to have a few down years by the standard he had just created, and he couldn't handle that reality IMO.

And to think, had Cam Newton been more patient about playing time at UF, Meyer is likely coaching there right now.

I think with him losing to Dan Mullen & Miss State is what did him in.

This. I have no doubt. He looked like someone who just got dumped by the love of their life. Sleep deprivation, weight loss, etc.

It would make me wary before hiring this guy but I guess coaches who have already won 2 NCs don't fall into your lap every day so you kind of have to hire him if you can.

Probably a combination of burnout and knowing that UF was about to go through a rough patch because of all the recruits that didn't work out.

Meyer is an attention whore, IMHO.

In the SEC you have to work extremely hard.

He doesn't want to do that.

Pretty simple.
