In the months since he proclaimed -- twice -- that Notre Dame was his dream job, Urban Meyer has gone out of his way -- twice -- to declare that he will never, ever, ever, ever (slight exaggeration) go to Notre Dame. Ever.
Of course, Meyer’s denials have done little to slow the rumors of him heading to South Bend.
Nor has it stopped people who make their livelihoods wagering from installing the Florida head coach as the co-favorite to replace Charlie Weis at Notre Dame.

Urban Meyer 3/2Brian Kelly 3/2Jim Harbaugh 3/1Chip Kelly 5/1Kirk Ferentz 10/1Bob Stoops 20/1Jon Gruden 30/1
