The way Gibby is leaning into Urby is so disturbing in that picture. And Urby's face is saying what he is thinking "...the security guard who let this fruitloop inside the fence is fk'n history..."

I think that this time he really means it and that he won't coach anywhere next fall. However, I have a hard time believing that he's done for good. I wouldn't be surprised to see him working as an analyst or commentator for ESPN next year, then end up someplace else in 2012. If Michigan can't get Harbaugh this year it may be smart for them to keep RR one more season and then fire him when Meyer is ready to come back to coaching. He'd be the ideal coach for them because he could be successful immediately with their spread personnel.

Wow is all I can say.

Not sure who will take over, but it will take the Gators a couple years to recover from this.


Can't stop laughing at the Gibby pic. And I don't own a Tebow jersey, just a Ryan Stamper.

I don't believe this for one second.
My guess is he will return to Florida after a few weeks after the bowl game or will be hired as the Broncos coach.

Maybe Meyer will have some interest in coaching at his Alma Mater in a few years ;)

Can he do that more than once without him or the institution (or both) looking like bufoons?

Tim Tebow's pro career may hinge on Urban going to Denver.

Hey, the Florida basketball coach did it too. It seems to go hand in hand with Florida sports. Leaving, then coming back, then thinking about leaving, then coming back.

Hardly likely this is a ruse and he'll suddenly come back in a few weeks like last time.

My guess is there probably is some serious health issue at work here (or family matter) OR he's being lured to Denver to be reunited with Tebone.

Gibby did they call you for your opinion? Looks like you and Urban had some time to talk strategy in that pic!

In this, Meyer talks of getting away from coaching to spend more time with his family. If he is true to his word in his statements, then its doubtful we will see him on the sideline anytime soon. I would tend to believe him with what happened last year.

But since he did this last year I don't believe him!

To be fair to Gibby, there is a Stanford CA and it is indeed where the University is. Same with Notre Dame, Indiana.
