Lulz, keep telling yourself that.....

Written in 2008, way before he even thought about Ohio.

No where in that does he say ND is his dream job.

Another article.....

LOL is this guy seriously an employee of 247sports? I thought this network was best in the business?

"He writes this article on Meyer in April, then the Gators go 11-2 and are ranked top-5 in the country most of the season. That's one hell of a broken program."

-Must have ignored the 8-5 season UMs last year, 7-6 season WMs first year, dozens of players who left the program, locker room issues, etc. Urban HIMSELF told Pat Dooley "this program is broken."

" Clearly, there should have been something added so the average reader knew they were hearing this from a Florida alumnus. Why not add an editor's note letting everyone know that Hayes is a UF alumnus?"
-Just because the guy is a Florida alumn does not mean he sucks the programs dick like you do for OSU. Soooo many Florida alumns in the media are a little to negative on the program than us UF fans would like. Even Goldkamp predicts us to lose almost every game :-) .... Andy Staples, Jesse Palmer, etc. etc, Hayes has never written anything remotely close to being homerish. Completely unprofessional on your behalf to suggest a writer you do not even know can not write something on a coach just because he happened to graduate from a school where said coach used to coach.

"Hayes tried to say that Florida's football program is broken. He's obviously wrong."
-Does it not occur to you that maybe Muschamp fixed it, thus the 11-2 season? Are you seriously giving UM credit for this season? LOL GTFOH.

" And it was an obvious attempt to bash Urban Meyer, unfairly IMO."
-Dude get a life. Shelly has something to worry about.... I guess Urban has moved on from Screwing interns to screwing the OSU beat writers.

Also, WTF is up with you using "Y'all" all over your post. You BIG 10 yankee trying to insult an SEC board?

PS. I better get at least 15 upvotes from this post.

When Muschamp took the job at Florida, he was told on several occasions by Meyer, “This program is broken.”

If a program was truly "broken" Vince Lombardi couldn't come in and have it go 11-2 in his second year. I'm sorry if this concept is difficult for you to grasp, but your program was NEVER "broken." You won two national titles in a four-year span. Then you had two down years for your lofty standards. Then you go 11-2. What a hell of a broken program!

Talk about a spoiled fan. A team has two down years (right after winning two national titles and right before going 11-2) and he's agreeing with Matt Hayes that the Gators had a "broken program."

I think it's because Meyer went to OSU so quickly.

Man, you guys are hard on your former players. I actually honestly think Meyer (and Zook) produced not only a hell of a lot of NFL talent, but those guys are keeping their noses clean in the NFL for the most part. Who are all these NFL players from Florida getting busted? Joe Haden? OK, there's one, but he's not a bad guy by any means.

As for the arrests while Meyer was at Florida, isn't that commonplace among any college football program? When you have 105 players on your roster, you'll see about 5-6 arrests per year. Did Meyer have a bit more than that while at UF? Maybe, but not much more.

I just think this idea that Meyer ran some renegade program at Florida and left the Gators in shambles is a complete farce.

What about Hayes.

Are you going to tell us Hayes isn't a homer?

Cool, we can agree on that. Bianchi is a hack.

When did Geoff Vogt start writing for Bucknuts?

Meyer won long before he got to Florida. He's won since he's left (and will win more).

Meyer was the best coach Florida has ever had. And that fact is still true today.
