Even so, it's basically a part-time job vs. a 60-80 hour work week as a HBC, and the ESPN gig will rely heavily on his expertise and knowledge, not exactly a pressure cooker like the fishbowl that is the UF coaching job. I think the stress level of coaching goes up exponentially over that of being a TV analyst and it was the stress that was killing his health. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jerry Belloit To: gatortalk@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, January 31, 2011 9:00 PM Subject: RE: [gatortalk] Urban and ESPN
In theory, I would agree with you. However, there will probably be more travel and Urban is a perfectionist and workaholic. I don't think he will be satisfied just being eye-candy. He is not a natural comedian so he will have to outwork the others to be effective. I am sure he knows that and will try to outwork them.

I thought it was pretty cool when he did the national championship game. Upon further review.it seems like he may be filling up his schedule again. Is he replacing the stress of Florida Football with the stress of ESPN? I never really bought into that spend more time with the family. I believed that the major reason was health.
