Urban Meyer interview

[aka]

Move on.

 

[gatordad3]

Urban is never going to coach the Gators again. He has said in every interview he will never coach college football again with all the new rules, NIL, and the portal. He wants nothing to do with it.

Just like he said he'd never coach in the NFL.

 

[revgator]

Funny coming from you, a guy who always HATED Urban Meyer and mocked me over and over and over when I defended him for years after he left. Now you suddenly love him?

You guys really think I would give two sh!ts if Billy was fired tomorrow? I wouldn't.

Love ya Ox, but we all know the day Billy is fired we're going to see you on the news barricaded in the AD office with you holding Stricklin hostage demanding the immediate reinstatement of Billy and the football team renamed the UF "Napiers"

This is dumb, even for you.

He sought and capitalized on momentum swings. In all three phases of the game.

"Plan to win"

The four main staples of Urban's mandate for success and his organizational schematic -- his bible of football coaching -- are:

1. Play great defense
2. Turnovers (all coaches are required to teach ball security the same way)
3. Score in the red zone
4. Win the kicking game

 

[Theologator]

I appreciate Meyer’s regret about how his tenure at UF ended. I’m sure he regrets how it ended at OSU, too. The main question I had when he came was whether he could sustain excellence over a long time. He didn’t. He burns hot for awhile, then burns out.

I’d take a wiser Meyer back in a heartbeat. But with succession planning in mind.

A wiser Billy would hire an OC and put his personal focus on special teams. He could still have 2 OL coaches if, like under Meyer, one coached the edges - the OTs and the TEs. He’d bring Greg Matteson or Bob Stoops in to consult with Armstrong. He’d pull a retired successful HC like Meyer and/or SOS in to review his own performance in all phases.

''I'll stand up and fight anybody right now''..That's a man. Can anyone imagine Billy ever saying anything like that? Not a chance. He's got the heart of a cockroach.

At this point I would hope we'd all know not to believe any of Meyer's diversions about his future plans. He's doing as he's done many times before, laying low, gathering energy, assessing the opportunities. And you know they will come. Aside from Saban, who's approaching ancient, Meyer remains the best pure coach in the game.

First things first. Stricklin has to go.

 

[MooseSmack]

We're both Gators. We both know of many non-Gators who think SOS is a huge prick. It depends on who's being the prick and how they do it. I met Spurrier once, on assignment, and came away thinking he was pretty adept at being a prick, but different than Meyer. He exuded an indifferent air, an arrogance. I suppose Meyer can be both, but I've never met him in person.

I think they are both Pricks! That’s the kinda of ego and attitude that wins!

Examples of other winning Pricks.
Saban: He’s definitely a prick
Kirby: total prick
Jimbo. Dumb Prick but still a prick.
Harbaugh: strange Prick
Kiffin: total prick

I swear all coaches that win are pricks.

Gators need that Prick as a coach. Go Gators!

I don't know about that. I've got a few roaches around my house that won't give up.

 

[Cozumel Gator]

I don't think so either, but Donkey just loves to stir the pot.

i think you left out the most obvious one......and most loved........

 

[Detroitgator]

talk is cheap

Yeah... i let that one go. I mean, FFS, Mullen said the same thing.

 

[oxrageous]

Does anyone else think Billy could absolutely kick @Gatorbait25's ass?

 

[Gatorbait25]

Yeah... i let that one go. I mean, FFS, Mullen said the same thing.

False! Danny was hung up on thumb wrestling. He wasn't a fighter.

 

[Gatorbait25]

Billy's response below.

Yeah, no. I think that's a great question .Relative to the opponent
I mean hats off to him, if that makes sense

 

[Detroitgator]

False! Danny was hung up on thumb wrestling. He wasn't a fighter.

and stadium steps... don't forget the stadium steps... he'll kick your ass on both!

They're both talkers. Dan is a wide eyed clown talker, but Urbs is that bitch talker who does it when he's got 8 buddies with him or is in a position of unassailable power... like the whole practice field incident with the reporter.

I hate guys like that... they're the kind you drill after "I'll kick your..." leaves their bitch lips.

Everyone callin' Billy a snake oil salesman... well, maybe so, but I think he believes it and has only pulled it off once so far in his career (with us). You guys are swallowing Urbs load for the 3rd or 4th time now... I can't keep up.

But sure, hire him tomorrow, why not.

 

[Detroitgator]

He was the most unpopular member at the club amongst the staff or other members....thank god he was hardly ever there.....but if he could keep you from eating frozen pizzas and taking crying game showers after losing at home on homecoming, during a blackout game to a team that only won 2 games all year I would welcome him with open arms....

I specifically stated that I ate the frozen pizza in the corner... I'm not sure why you and law keep talking about showers and whatever a crying game is. Can you please explain the reference?

 

[Detroitgator]

Speaking of those in charge, if Sasse has as big an ego as ALL politicians, and half a brain, he has to know that the way to forever endear himself to the alumni is to hire the next great coach, ala Bernie Machen. If true, he strikes me as willing to throw caution to the wind and hire an Urbs or a Kiffen and, channeling his best Al Davis, say, “just win, baby!”
