He chose his family. Meanwhile, Bernie Machen, president of the University of Florida, Jeremy Foley and Shelley Meyer wanted Meyer to take time off to get healthy, decompress, spend time with his family and recharge his batteries. Meyer has essentially earned “tenure” at UF and was encouraged to take a sabbatical. Despite their collective and repeated efforts over several days, Meyer remained committed to his own decision to step down because he is a type-A, all-in perfectionist.

Why couldn’t Meyer wait until after the Sugar Bowl---or for that matter NSD for all you conspiracy theorists---to make this announcement? Why all the urgency? Why create more distraction for his beloved team before their final game? Because Meyer's plan was that Charlie Strong would get promoted to HC and after some time off, Meyer would come back to UF and help Strong out at arm's length, staying involved, though less directly, in the powerhouse program he built. For his plan to work, he had to resign immediately, before Strong signed a contract with Louisville. He could not wait until after the bowl game. Why the sudden change of heart? Practically the instant that the Meyer resignation hit the wires, Bob Stoops contacted Foley. He wanted the HC job at Florida. Though we (Gators) all LOVE Strong, Foley would not and could not promote Strong to HC with the likes of Stoops in the candidate pool. Meyer knew that if Stoops took the job, he would not be able to stay involved in the program in any capacity. Strong would go to Louisville and all of Meyer's assistants would be out of a job. His players, who he truly loves, would have to weather a complete change in coaching staff and philosophy. In one week, he would lose all connection to the program he has given everything to building for five years. In short, Meyer felt he would be letting everyone down---his players, his assistant coaches, his wife (who never wanted him to resign) and

RE: [gatortalk] Why Urban returned
Exactly, why can't everyone take it for face value that Urban became overwhelmed with the job, just like Steve Spurrier did. Then, he decided to run away from it after the emergency room episode. Then, after seeing his team give so much of themselves in practice he decided to stay on. Doesn't that make sense? Is it so bad for all the writers that what was started at UF with Meyer is going to continue? Do we, the fans, need this soap opera unfolding every day to keep our attention? I'm afraid that we are the reason for such crap dug up and brought to the surface everyday. We'd rather watch a train wreck than a beautiful sunset. The Gong Show beats Little House on the Prairie.

[gatortalk] Interesting Kiffin question and some thoughts
Supposedly the NCAA report on USC violations will be out soon with their proposed sanctions. The interesting issue is that Kiffin may well be named as one of the violators. What will that mean for him? Also, I see this as a double win for Florida. USC recruits may well reopen their recruiting and give Florida a fresh look. I don't think that anyone in their right mind would see Kiffin as anything but a considerable letdown from Carrol. Tennessee recruits will likewise likely be reopening theirs as well. Also, who will Tennessee likely hire? Tuberville would have be a good choice but now he is at Texas Tech. Could they go after baby Bowden? Did Skip Holtz go to USF? What do you all think?

RE: [gatortalk] Kiffin gone
I love this on so many levels. 1) He's a total pain-in-the-butt jerk and we'll see lots less of him now. 2) This will be the end of the USC dynasty. They've hired a coach who could only go 7-6 at a major university with lots of talented players. On the positive side for USC, they can expect more moral victories in a single season under Kiffin than they had in ten years under Carroll. 3) What a slap in the face to Tennessee. It's now a place coaches go until they get the job they really want. 4) He was their 4th choice, so they didn't really want him all that badly. 5) All those loudmouth Vol fans are cryin' in their moonshine tonight. It's hard not to feel a little pleasure in that.

Re: [gatortalk] Powell?
Actually, Powell has been a heavy Florida lean since last summer, I can't see them swamping Lame Lane for Sneaky Pete making much difference! - Original Message - From: Wanda Barry To: Gatortalk@googlegroups.com Sent: Tuesday, January 12, 2010 11:38 PM Subject: [gatortalk] Powell? Does anyone think we'll lose Powell now that Kiffin is going to USC? In the Army game, Powell only had two hats...UF and USC and many speculated that his decision to go to UF was because Pete Carroll left USC. That would just make Kiffin's day to once again say he'd stolen a UF recruit! Any ideas from the gurus of college recruiting???
