When considering he has notheing left to accomplish it makes more sense to go to the NFL.

it wouldn't work in the nfl. spurrier was bad but meyer would be a trainwreck. no way tebow or any other qb would be able to consistently run the ball in the nfl without taking serious injuries.

That was not my point.

I was saying if we are going to say he has accomplished everything by winning 2/3 NCs in college going to the NFL is actually a chance to do something different. He might as well stay a football god at UF if it is about college football accomplishments.

Like what? If the QB does anymore than hand-off or throw the ball in the NFL psychos like Ray Lewis will kill them. Also, the defensive coordinators in the NFL would have that shite figured out before the first snap of his first game. No fricking chance.

You can have a more mobile QB in the NFL, most now wait till the last second or throw it away even when they could have grunted a few yards. Most programs won't risk their star taking a breating and possibly being injured but it is very possible.

Remember they said the wild cat would never work as well. As said the NFL has bland offenses mostly due to inbreding of offensive coaches from program to program. Meyer did everything short of calling them ballless, he's given several camps to offensive coaches about his offense and what could be used at the next level yet they are too scared even when they can't come up with a legit defense that would "destroy" it.

It is a very real possiblitly that Meyer goes to Notre Dame, Miles go to Michigan and two of Saban's main competitors will be gone.

If ND has all that money why is that that their last 3 coaches were Bob Davie, Ty Willingham and Charlie Weis? Keep in mind that they are still paying Willingham and will have to pony up big for CW's huge buyout.

Almost as silly as you UF message board posters thinking you know that he really loves UF like he says he does and will not leave anytime soon...

Go back and read my post v..e..r..y......s..l..o..w..l..y and tell me where I said that I know how he feels.

I was just making the comment that its strange how people on the board seem to know exaclty what he feels is a challenge and what is not.

Agree and disagree. Winning like he has at Florida has been very impressive, but if he were to restore Notre Dame to a national power, in my opinion, that would be about as big of an accomplishment as one could imagine in coaching. He has his own network, possibly the largest (albeit the most disliked) fan base in the county, and if you think Tebow gets sucked off by the media each week is bad, it wouldnt hold a candle to the adulation he would get if Notre Dame was a top 5 team a few years in a row.

Now, that said, I am not sure Bear Bryant, Meyer, Carroll, Bo, Woody, etc could turn present day ND into yesteryear ND, but if you are looking for the career bookend, you either could go from a "great" coach to a legend if you are right in trying, or pocket an obscene amount of cash trying. Hard to imagine him not entertaining the chance.

But if anyone has an idea of what Meyer is thinking it is UF fans. And to say his word means nothing is completely ridiculous. Meyer has been very influential in the Gainesville community the last 5 years and has worked tirelessly to build UF to this point. It is easy for us to say he loves being here, the results speak for themselves.
