This is why some jobs like uf and other blue bloods are better than most if not all nfl jobs. In college you can have the most talented roster every Saturday. In the NFL there's obviously a salary cap to create parity. He could have stayed at UF or osu forever and continued to dominate and be a big fish in a small pond.

In the Pros you win it all you get the 32nd pick in the draft. In College you win it all you get the 1st pick of the recruits.

The NFL coaching gig is so much better than college because you don’t have to recruit.

It would be so tiring to travel across the country just to kiss the a$$ of some entitled 17 year old athlete, where even if you are an ace recruiter your success rate is less than 50%

But as Douglas pointed out, there also aren't usually very many quick fixes either. Even bottoming out and getting the number one pick typically entails being a disaster nearly everywhere else on the team. Plus, even when you do have a great roster, it generally doesn't last. So it's all about outcoaching the competition. I've read articles about Andy Reid when he was in Philly. He would sometimes go 3-4 days straight without leaving his office, and that was during the offseason. As good as you may be, there are coaches opposite you, also at the top of their game, who have nothing to do all year but watch your game film, dissect your tendencies, adjust to your star player, etc. There also aren't any(or many) Vanderbilts or Samfords, or just dreadful coaches on the schedule, which is why it's so rare for even the greatest teams to not lose 3-4 games, often ones you'd never expect.

Contrast that with what he had at UF, where 90% of the talent you need is within an hour's drive or two hours private flight. He once remarked about how nice it was that he could be in Pahokee to recruit a kid and watch his practice and still be home in time to catch his son's game and dinner with the family.

Both are absolute grinds. But with one, that grind is much less at certain places, and if done correctly will almost always equal great results. The other is a grind where many really great coaches have never won it all because of the parity.

He won't say it, but he should've just stayed at UF.

Mayer was asked why on a failed fourth down only four inches from the end zone he didn’t call a sneak for his 6-foot-6 quarterback.

“He’s not quite comfortable with that yet.”
"He's" not comfortable? Media will be all over that scandalous remark. Very politically incorrect of UM to assume his quarterback's gender. :nono:

Turns out it was all a misunderstanding. Trevor thought his coach was inviting him to a threesome.

No, not for having a side chick. Probably for hanging out in an Applebee's digging his fingers through jeans into a girl in public instead of being on the plane with his team. You are kinda leaving out the important details aren't you?

Her name "Cayman Nebraska" definitely sounds like a stripper, but officially she's a "digital marketing executive".

Urban Meyer, always the coach, was simply demonstrating how to go 'under center' when playing Nebraska. Reading the defense here, he determined it was a 'soft zone'.

I’m concerned with this development and think this could end really badly. Not so much for Urban and his career, but for our fellow poster MattM who is undoubtedly involved in some sort of asphyxiation, self harming/pleasuring tonight at these latest pics.
