OH ****

Another reason why the Gators won't be as good next year.

hmm seems intersting overall and i wonder about the timing ... While the reports say its a health issue, but others say theres no major issues with his health.

I trulty hope that this is more a "lifesytle-choice" if you will, than an medical issue with him or a family member.

Not being a gator fan, I do have respect for Meyer, he's been a great coach where he's been and, by all account a stand up guys in a profession (college coaching) where the majority seem to be scumbags.

Granted if in two months he winds up coaching an NFL team - a take that back.

i'm shocked, well at least surprised taht Notre Dame didn't wait a week longer, as there was talk they wanted to do so and see if they could acquire Meyer???

i'm going to assume that Meyer isn't going to coach as I think if offered the Notre Dame spot it would've been sexier than going pro...but I could see how a coach would want to chance the pro game so who knows. If i were a better man and forced to bet i'd gamble he stays out of coaching for a year or two. To be honest though, i wouldn't bet this one if given a choice lol.

Brian Kelly got Notre Dame's job

Unless Notre Dame wants two head coaches

This definitely smells like a jump to the NFL.
What is it with SEC coaches never able to just come out and say i'm leaving so I can go somewhere else (Saban, Petrino)

Yeah i think he's knows....

I misread his second part.

It's ok. Anyway I think Kelly will be a good coach. Notre Dame ain't the coaching destination it used to be. Meyer or any other a-1 coach probably wouldn't even want it.

Uh oh? Dan Snyder's back up plan???

thanks captain obvious. maybe my initial sentence stating that i was surprised Notre Dame didn't wait a week longer to sign a coach shoulda clued you in that I was aware of this tidbit.

lol, sorry...i guess i should've read further before posting on your post.

everything I am hearing says this had more to do with his health and his desire for a more "complete lifestyle" whatever that may mean.


Either way, he may not coach again, or at least not for a lil while.

Yeah, but signing a contract extension in August seems to be at odds with the various things I've heard (like he has been thinking about stepping away for a few years).
And with the various things coaches have said in the last few years only to go and coach somewhere else rather quickly...It's hard to take it all at face value.

Someone mentioned Washington...lol. Not sure if the Skin's want another former Gator coach.
