    I thought it was Bob Davie who he called for advice on the ND or Fla job.

    But I disagree with the premise of the article that Meyer will llook bad, he's won 2 Nat'l Championships and is the odds on favorite to win a 3rd. Nothing that Weis or ND can do will make him look bad or anything. He made a decision that he had a better shot at success at UF, at that time it was a no brainer.

    Geez, another negative article about Urban Meyer by a well known national writer. :roll: :roll:

    I can only say that this person doesn't know a lot about the Gators or what Meyer has done at Florida.

    And his last line about Lou Holtz being better known that Barry Switzer has as much to do with Lou Holtz as Notre Dame. Lou was well known and an interesting person before he went to Notre Dame. No doubt Notre Dame added to his fame, some being the way he was pushed out.

    No matter, I'm glad Meyer is at Florida and I'm sure that as long as he keeps winning we will see an abundance of articles like this one.

    You can always count on Terry to come up with a logical and realistic post.

    I just went back to that site and read the comments, here's one from the author of the article.
    Let me see, Alabama in 92, Florida in 96 and Tennessee in 98 all won National championships. In addition Florida played for one in 95, wiped out by Nebraska, and I believe Tennessee was in a position in a bowl game where they could have possibly won.

    I think this person has a whole different perspective about irrelevant than I do. :)

    Interesting read though.

    <<If Sharpley had QBd in '07 ND would have won 7 games>>
    Sorry, that's not close to reality.

    Every single paragraph of that piece is a pile of crap.
