Florida's Urban Meyer Meets The Press Today

I may have the wife and kids may and or a brother in law. I never really know until that time comes.

His \"leave of absence\" is to save his assistant coaches jobs. He stays (on paper) until they show they can handle it. He wants the AD and the fanbase to be satisfied with the coaches in place.
If he left, all of his loyal assists lose their jobs. That simple.

To say that this was all done for publicity is stupid.
Why in the World would Meyer want to distraction this close to the bowl game?
Cynical? Yes.

Its not the coaches, its the recruits the school wants to keep, his assistants will be fine. The recruits have all been jumping ship though.

I don't care who leaves or who goes out there in Gainesville. I'm just hoping some of the recruits jump ship see the err in their previous choice and come to the soon to be juggernaut in Athens.

Exactally ZERO recruits have jumped ship so far.
And when has UF not goten good recruits? Zook got tons and he stunk as a coach.
This is about the coaching staff NOT one year's worth of recruits.
How in the World would the assistants be fine? The vast majority would be let go if a new coach were brought in.

I gotta side with the Lizard on this one...IMVHO, this is CUM attempting to have his cake and eat it too. CUM has something serious to deal with, and if it is cardiac related, it is far worse than a RCA or LCA blockage...Somuchso it caused the initial announcement. The aboutface, came in order to retain his empire, intact....Leaving entirely would place everyone on the unemployment line.

As for recruits, like Georgia, the State of Florida is rich with talent...and as much as I hate to admit it, UF by name alone, recruits itself....This is about legacy, branding and empire building...You'll likely not see CUM stalking the sidelines again...But he won't be far and his minions will march to his tune.........

GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
