Rumors rampant that Urban Meyer will step down as Florida coach this evening.
Guy better take it easy, he'll become the next Favre.
Urban wants to spend more time with family....didn't know he officially adopted Tebow.
I'd guess Dan Mullen is option A, B, & C for the Gators.
Yep...hence he didn't jump to Miami right away...he's known about Urban for a few days now.
Meyer allegedly was upset at how Florida handled his health issues last year and supposedly has an out in his contract for Notre Dame (not going to happen) or Michigan (a chance it happens).
Lots of rumors about Bo Pelini (Nebraska) and potential candidacy at Miami. He and their AD were at Oklahoma in 2004. Some say he is candidate & has interviewed, NU AD says he did not give permission to either party. Some say that they only chatted informally, while there's talk one of the coaching search intermediaries (headhunter) has been the liason.
Why would Pelini want to downgrade to Miami? They have a better recruiting base but worse facilities and a worse team. Pelini has one of the plumb jobs in America imo.
Maybe he's afraid he won't be able to win in the Big Ten.
The talk today is that he may have flirted with Miami because he was upset with NU's Chancellor for publicly commenting on his behavior after the A&M game. Who knows though....at most, it was discussion through backchannels or just talking on the phone. As far as we know, it was nothing too formal.
He is a Big Ten guy (former tOSU player), so I'd think he was pretty excited to get into the conference.
Bo deserved to get ripped for going crazy on TV. He was out of control.
I think so too, but the AD should have done it or it should have been behind closed doors, not in a statement to the AP.
Miami job now down to: Al Golden, Randy Edsall & Marc Trestman according to The Miami Herald.
Hard to argue against Golden and Edsall, who have both made nice strides at their current jobs.
I bet Taylor Martinez wished Bo would have saved his f-bomb filled rant for behind closed doors as well instead of on national TV.
One of the local Detroit radio station guys said that Hoke will be announced as head coach in the new year. But most of the local guys feel Harbaugh and Michigan's AD David Brandon have already unofficially contacted each other and there is mutual interest in him hiring Harbaugh after he coaches his bowl game. My money is on Harbaugh. I just can't see Rich Rod coming back after this delay. The buyout has to be a factor.
I'm hearing Bob Stoops to Florida may be happening....supposedly ESPN Insider has this and now another site reporting.
Stoops already shooting down that report. I don't see why Stoops would leave OU myself.
