This past week Urban M made some astute comments on our program and coach. Like the young fella at Ole Miss he has become more mature and introspective. These were his comments.
I remember Calapari at UK basketball putting new freshman out there each year and the next many would be gone. Now its the norm in college. Many of you know my passion for UF football and basketball. Ive loved it for a LONG time. What I am watching now is a freak show with nobody in charge. Bama and UGA were lucky enough to be on top when the "everything goes and no rules" began.
Kids have always run to the winning teams if they could and now they can do anytime it seems. I want UF to win. I want a good coach. But I dont want to have to relearn the gdmmm roster each year because of turnover. That isnt how it should work. I want kids like Mertz that love it here. I want kids like Trask that grind until the get their chance. I just want kids here that want to be gators and stay. If that is over college football may not be dead but its on life support. btw I understand a young kid wanting to play for a winning team and making very good money.
seems like its always been true.............money changes everything.
His last comments about not panicking and keep your head down was something he learned at Fla. The panicking part brought him down. The poor bastard could not even enjoy the huge success he brought us. Now he knows. But he has to admit the coaching position now entails MUCH more than he had to deal with during his championships years at UF. The portal and NIL have totally changed the landscape. Its like "lets play this year, shake the bottle and make almost new teams again. " As a coach you would have to be torn in so many gddmmm directions your ass wouldn't know which way was up.'Billy Napier and his staff, is there pressure on him?' Meyer said on Martin’s show. 'Hell yeah there is, but that comes with the job. I would not panic if I’m the coaching staff.' 'Florida fans have the right to be upset,' Meyer said. 'They’re fans. Florida is an elite place. Ohio State fans are really upset they’re 11-1. Florida State fans are losing their mind because they’re not in the Playoff. That’s what makes this great. 'I keep hearing about the process, the plan that he has. It’s got to at some point get going, but I would not panic if I’m him. I’d just keep grinding. Just keep your head down and do the very best you can.'
