Some tough choice ? I wonder if it will stick this time. Last year this time he tried too but couldn't leave. It would be nice of a change and a new playbook in stack would be nice too .The spread just isn't working any more with a stellar QB like Tebow .I really doubt he goes any where Joe .

He could join Tebow in Denver!!!!
I do agree that if he quits, it's probably for a long break. And you are right, the spread option only really works with a QB that has a great combo of brains, running ability, and decent passing skills. You also absolutely need a speedy playmaker to hold off the LBs from covering the TE dump and QB/RB running option.

The spread works just fine in other incarnations at other schools without stellar QBs. If he had of stayed a new o co ordinator is what he needed..not a new playbook.
Florida should hire Mullen.
Installing a pro style offense would have been a crappy idea. We see how that worked in Texas. Brantley should never have been recruited.

I don't buy into the health issues. I just think he can't stand losing so bad because Tebow isn't there anymore and that he can't bare through a down year or two to rebuild the program.

That and FSU has no righted their ship and has a coach who can beat him out for recruits and on the field. From what I've already heard Dan Mullen is more or less a done deal to replace the Hotdog man in Hogtown. Which is so-so news for FSU but devastating for Miami.

I just think the stress of the job is overwhelming to him. He's got cash now and a propensity to have a poor reaction to stress.

Hopefully the university doesn't pressure him into coming back for another reluctant season this time.

That's a pretty baseless, subjective accusation.

cya Urban.
(the advantage of the above comment is that "cya" can both mean "goodbye" and "cya later.")

Wow, might as well call Jimbo Fisher the Floridian Coach Killer.
2 bitter rivals + 2 manhood stealing blowouts to FSU = Fisher the Coach Killer.

I'm sure the main reason is because he can't stand lossing and has no real QB and his spread system just isn't working any more and it is about time IMO.He was a good Coach when he had the players ,however, when they are no longer that skilled you gotta look and change the offense to what you have more move into a better skilled playbook to fit your players. Its not rocket science. I doubt he makes a move or chance to go to Denver , possible tho . Any word on who is taking over for the Gators ? Yes I am stil a fan after horrible season lol .

It's not a big loss. He's an overrated coach. With the right QB (Tebow and Alex Smith) he can have great teams. Take that away and he is lost. He completely lacks the ability to alter his offense to suit his players. With the talent of Brantley and all the speed at the skill positions, a Pro Style offense would have been great in Gainesville.

I don't know if that is a fair assessment, he did win a MNC with Chris Leak as his starting QB and Tebow in only for spot duty or goal line plays. That Gator team wasn't exactly built for his Spread offense. Then again, I think we're seeing Dan Mullen was the real genius there not Meyer.

jrdrylie , I have so agree . I was kind of bummed when they brought the spread back for Brantley.That is just not his style of playing.But I'm sure it would have been hard to learn a whole playbook for the others on the offense.Maybe next year.But I hear Brantley might transfer ?
