The Urban Meyer press conference is still ongoing as we type this and, thus far, there have been a lot of vagaries and head-scratching answers to questions regarding the whole resignation/about-face of the Florida head coach.
However, if there is a “signature” moment of the media meeting, it was the following exchange between Meyer and a reporter.
Mark Long: Coach, you’ve talked a lot about having gut feelings about things. In your gut, do you think you’re going to be the coach of this football team come fall?
Meyer: That’s uh… I probably knew that question was coming. I do… I do in my gut believe that will happen.
So, there you have it.
At least in the eyes — and a region a little bit further south — of Urban Meyer, he will be the head coach of the Florida Gators when the curtain is raised on the 2010 regular season.
Urban Meyer: “… uh… my heart… I mean in my heart… I feel I will be dead in 2010.”
Stupid, stupid decision.
In related news, Shelley Meyer has suddenly become available.
I can just imagine the writing crew for David Letterman having fun putting together a “Top Ten Reasons Urban Meyer Changed His Mind About Resigning” list. While I’m not going to bother creating an entire list, here are a few I came up with:
* Wanted to see what outrageous thing Lane Kiffin would say, before coming back and pounding his team this fall;
* Realized that I was the only thing standing between Nick Saban and global domination;
* Wanted at least one more chance to see Les Miles botch a game against us in the final seconds;
* Was so upset that my man-crush Tim Tebow was leaving, but then I looked into his replacement’s eyes……
* Was just doing what Billy Donovan did after his two national titles, and look at how great he’s done since…oh, nevermind;
and last but not least:
* I touched the hem of Saint Tim of Gainesville’s jersey, and my heart was miraculously healed. Praise Timmy!
I guess he realized that there will be life after Tebow.
DCroz – nice start, I’ll add a couple:
* Woke up in a cold sweat and in a panic and thought it was a heart attack, blurted out retirement – then realized it was gas from the burrito he and his bromance partner Timmy had for dinner
* Realized that in retirement, nobody, including his wife and kids, gave a sh!t what he did or said and he couldn’t handle it.
* Got turned down for his TV reality show idea: Urban Tebow – If They Could have Children: The Gator Bromance Story
* The AD wouldn’t let him continue to shower with the team after he ‘retired’.

Message to Shelley: you bring nothing to the table, why are you talking, so hush now.
It was the greatest unpaid recruiting infomercial in college football history. Meyer did it all and with passion. He connected with both his current players and his number one ranked recruiting class on a personal level. He had both sides of the ball, every race and creed represented on the air and speaking about their affection for the school, program, coach, and fellow players. This half hour recruiting love fest not only fired up his team for a big BCS game, but also lit up every recruit in play. You gotta hand it to the guy, he knows what he’s doing.
Kiffin must be on all fours puking.
Arizona Buckeye:
YOUR still blogging about Meyer….what a shock!!!! Listen pal….all the gay comments…hate to tell you…you sound like your some sort of jealous jilted lover???? Get out of the closet and get a life.
DCroz: Very funny!
Arizona Buckeye: Not so Much!!! Don’t quit your day job….that is if your have a job!!!!
Well lets hope poor urvain doesn’t get waxed by UC or he’ll have to check himself into a hospital again because he was so worked up he forgot to drink his fluids. Again, what a ridiculous drama from a classless coach
DCroz: 2 thumbs up, great job.
Arizona Buckeye: Epic failure.
I just took Urban Meyer in my Celebrity Death Pool, 2010! Slam dunk…
@ochentacinco
Nice point. I wonder if Meyer sent a text to Kiffin saying, “Thats how its done beotch”
Is this guy like full of crap or what?
Assinine, stupid, foolish, dumb, waffler, and any other derogatory remark you can think of for someone on the national scale to pull this circle jerk.
