#1 I believe it was Urban Meyer who called his running backs “trash” two seasons ago, so I’m surprised. The Gators will be in the national title hunt next season and no one will remember this, I suspect

As for Bill Stewart, hiring a guy after a emotional finish is a dicey proposition at best. UCLA hired Steve Lavin after he wept on the sideline after a Great 8 game.

Non-BCS bowls wins aren’ t important unless you are following the Paterno-Bowden race to the death.

Better to have Georgia receive the off-season No.1 adulation and the Gators get exposed defensively to remind them of the key problem — getting Tebow & Co. enough posessions in 2008.

K. Moreno’s face on the cover of all the magazines coming out next month for the 2008 season will be enough to motivate those guys.

#17, with all due respect, Tuberville has exposed his system. 2-0 vs the Myth, and it was done with Rabid Fuck-Lions blitzing every down on D.

FWIW, Bill Stewart was hired after the game when Nick Saban called the WV Governer and told him that Nick Saban doesn’t run the 3-3-5, and thus, wouldn’t be coming, despite the appeal of coaching Noel Devine – the only guy in CFB that Nick Saban is taller than.

Wrong fellows. Urban Meyer is bringing Pete Carroll style domination. Which means they will lord over all that is college football until they get put on probation for agents buying players houses and he bolts for the NFL.

1) I figured Stoops was just showing he had what it takes to coach at Notre Dame. If someone tells him he can’t get the job maybe he can refocus on actually winning the bowl games.

2) I had a similar thought about Meyer as noted above, and that he finally finished a third year at school. Time for him to cycle through graduations, injuries, academic casualties and see what happens I suppose. He was still successful this year, and I think will be … well … probably forever. This year just shows what we knew would happen when his “system” met equal or better talent at least half the games in a season and in a bowl game, a consistent won loss ratio more near 2.75:1, for shame!

Re #14: Sadly, Stewart’s 8-25 mark at VMI is better than any of his successors have managed.

Crabapple Buck,

Just let it go, man. The nurse will be by shortly with your meds.

Is Urban referring to the cheating by video part or the undefeated part? He has never coached long enough anywhere to coach his own recruits to graduation. His quirky offense would have killed a lesser QB than TT. He can thank Zook for his championship. While he is at it, he can thank Tressel and staff for the lack of adjustments and Roy Hall for injuring Ted Ginn. I hope UF enjoyed the ride, cause Urban renewal is not going to be pretty. Michigan exposed his system, Urban will be listening to NFL offers now.

Stapler (#10),

Coach Meyer has made these speeches before when necessary. I think mainly during his first year coaching at Florida when he was faced with players �not buying into the program/system� and not giving 100% during a particular game, back when some of the players were still suffering from a touch of Ron Zook hangover. I�m not a player, so I can�t say firsthand what is going on in their heads (none of us can), but it�s certainly not the kind the sign of anything being �on the verge of collapse�, and to imply he�ll be fired after next season is a bit premature. I mean, were you making the same prediction about Georgia after they were beat by West Virginia in the Sugar Bowl in 2006? I doubt it.

He may have had a 8-25 record at VMI, but he’s tied for the winningest coach of 2008!

But really, how good does he have to be? Even without White/Slaton/Scmidt, they still have Noel Devine, who’s faster than any D UConn, USF, or L’Ville can run at them.

Stewart probably winds up the Lloyd Carr to Rich Rod’s Bo…not as successful or beloved as the original, but not terrible (only I don’t see any WVA DBs beating out an SEC QB for a Heisman any time soon)
