If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed;
if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you
may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all odds against you
and only a precarious chance of survival. There may be even a worse fate.
You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better
to perish than to live as slaves. -- Sir Winston Churchill

ESPN.com news services
The University of Florida has offered its coaching job to Urban Meyer, who
accepted today, ESPN.com's Pat Forde has learned.
Florida papers reported the offer to Meyer, who has coached Utah to a 12-0
season and a BCS bowl bid, on their Web sites Friday morning.
It could be any minute, UF president Dr. Bernie Machen told The Palm
Beach Post earlier today. I'm waiting for an e-mail.
When asked about the report, Utah athletic director Chris Hill, deferred.
My position is to let the other parties in these things -- the schools
and the coach -- speak for themselves, Hill said. Any kind of confirmation
would have to come from other sources.
When pressed, Hill offered no further comment.
Meyer met with his players Thursday and told them what schools are
pursuing him, but he would not be specific when asked about the meeting.
There's too many things involved right now to have any comments, Meyer
said after a practice at Utah's new indoor practice field.
Florida officials were in Utah on Thursday, as were Notre Dame officials.
Meyer will replace Ron Zook, who was fired but coached the team through
the end of the season.
The Utah coach has said he wants to coach the Utes in their bowl game.
Zook has not yet decided whether he will coach the Gators in the Peach Bowl.
Utah is expected to consider offensive coordinator Mike Sanford and
defensive coordinator Kyle Whittingham to replace Meyer.
