Emmitt says Urbs should be in the Ring of Honor

[ThreatMatrix]

Ive never understood why we put college players in the ROH for what they did in the pros.

Errict Rhett should be HOF before Emmitt.

You had to be there.

I feel a true sense of accomplishment when I get a dislike from Donkey. It makes me feel like my mind is still solid & clear thinking. Thank you Donkey for the sanity check.

Here’s the link I think somebody asked for

Gators legend Emmitt Smith: Urban Meyer also belongs in UF's Ring of Honor

 

[gardnerwebbgator]

Rhett is arguably the most underappreciated RB in UF history. I used to love this staple toss play in the Spurrier offense, where the RB would not go wide and cut back.....

 

[Dunder]

What's the point of having a ring of honor if your not letting the most successful coach in the history of the school in? I don't give a **** about how he left, every football coach we've ever had except Mullen has left. Their all paid mercenaries including SOS.

I’d take him back tomorrow and anyone that says otherwise is a complete moron. He never got us into any trouble with the NCAA, owned our rivals and won 2 of our 3 nattys. Was he paid to win or was he paid to be a saint? IMO, all the clowns after him did a hell of a lot more to embarrass us than he did.

Also one million likes

So what I'm gathering from this thread so far--and give me a little rope here--is that divits is a definite "maybe", and gardnerwebb is a "no, but could be swayed".

Such hate for Emmitt. Isn't Spurrier even more guilty then? I prefer to look the other way for such "fox paws".
Otherwise only Danny and Tim would be in the ROH. They set pretty high standards. I'm not anxious to put Urb's in. As someone said, if not for his recent troubles then maybe. Now I think we might have to wait until he dies.
As far as him leaving the program broken that is hyperbolic BS. The program was so broken that 2 years later we could've made the NC had we a coach with half a brain. He left the program better than he found it and a decent coach would've kept us at the top of the mountain.

So what? You sign a guy to a contract, he fills the cabinets with hardware, then he leaves and you stop paying him. Sounds like a hell of a good deal to me.

Some of you guys act like Meyer signed a lifetime contract in blood, and vowed in the name of Steve Spurrier that he would never take another job.

Except Florida paid him to do nothing. He signed an extension, sat out most of the season afterwards and let somebody else coach and then did not Foley pay him $1 million to be an ambassador?

Rhett was great no doubt. Almost as good as Emmitt. But Rhett had a suoorting cast. Emmitt did everything by himself. It was Emmitt or nothing. Everybody in the stadium knew he was gonna get the ball and still he broke off long runs.

 

[YLGator]

Of course Meyer should be in the ROH. Absolutely no question about it. Who cares what the man did at any time other than 2006 and 2008. He's in based on those two titles. The entire program only has 3 and Meyer won 2 of them. If he's not in, what's the point?

 

[secgator]

Who is this Urban fellow you speak of?

NEVER heard of that lying, moral-less, unethical, POS.

He also called himself an adopted hurricane on national TV, left UF out of the most important speech of his life, and decked himself out in Georgia gear & put on social media.

Damn I hate agreeing with Ox, but on the subject of Urban Meyer we see completely eye to eye.

When people say he destroyed the program they are so off base. Coaches who put their program on probation should get that label, not Urban. He left us in great shape & then Foley hired the biggest clown ever, Muschamp.

Sorry you're wrong. McSchitstain was worse than that other chump.

 

[Back Alley Gator]

Urban should be in the ring of honor without a doubt.

He brought us 2 NCs in 3 years.

For those people that want to raise the "scum bag" flag ... I give you Pat Dye, Johnny Majors, Vince Dooley, Bear Bryant ... all scumbags in their own right.

IMO ... Foley talked him into staying after he resigned in 2009. Meyer should have stood his ground and left instead of making us endure a year of him being drugged up. That's the only gripe I have.

Meyer left and went to OhhhBooo St.

Get the F*** over it.

(PS...I think Pell deserves an honorable mention too ... He did what the boosters wanted and put us on the map)

EDIT: Forgot Bobby Bowden on the list of scumbags.

And how many of those as*holes are in OUR ring of honor? NONE. So why are you even bringing them up? I don't care if other schools sell out and honor scumbags. I care if MY school sells out and honors a scumbag.

he left us with less players than any probabtion team.

I wish Emmitt had attended his induction ceremony

 

[Alchemist]

It’s called the Ring of Honor, not the Ring of Accomplishment. He has no honor.
