Urban has health concerns, and he's going to spend more time with his family.
why would he leave OSU just to take another job though.

Hello Joey Freshwater - welcome to TallahasseeJust got word that Jimmy Sexton and FSU are discussing the buyout.
could have done this years ago.Capella said:Just got word that Jimmy Sexton and FSU are discussing the buyout.
Yeahhhh good luck with that.Capella said:https://footballscoop.com/news/update-florida-state/
football scoop always has great sources and says FSU is going for urban.
Why would FSU hire Lane Kiffin? He can’t even win at fauYeahhhh good luck with that.
Lane Train coming in chooo chooo!
Probably wouldn’t, but he’s closer to the aisle you’d be shopping in than Urban. Realistically the absolute best case scenario would be someone like Aranda, maybe a Tony Elliott, maybe poach the Gus Bus? Who is even out there that’s even close to realistic?Why would FSU hire Lane Kiffin? He can’t even win at fau
Why wouldn’t we be shopping in the Urban aisle? FSU is easily a top 10-12 job. I would say USC is better for sure, so he would take that first but going to FSU wouldn’t be like going to Clemson before say, 2015.Probably wouldn’t, but he’s closer to the aisle you’d be shopping in than Urban.

It has nothing to do with Clemson, but I don’t think Urban is in the market for a top 10-12 job. Why would he leave his top 3 dream job for a top 10-12 job that is the arch rival to the team where he won two titles? It makes no sense at all. I don’t think he’s in the market for any job, but I could maybe understand an NFL gig just to try something different.Why wouldn’t we be shopping in the Urban aisle? FSU is easily a top 10-12 job.

I have no idea why he would leave OSU for arguably a step down at USC, or a step down at FSU. He’s a weird guy but he’s in every rumor so I’m sure he’s at least listening.It has nothing to do with Clemson, but I don’t think Urban is in the market for a top 10-12 job.

On the flip side, what does FSU gain from hiring Urban? All the reasons people made fun of him over the years are legit. He does shady ####, his health is an issue/excuse depending who you ask, and he doesn’t stick around too long. Plus he’d cost like $14M a year.
You don't think it had anything to do with the Zach Smith issues?I have no idea still why he left OSU.
He didn’t leave Ohio State, he was forced to resign.I have no idea why he would leave OSU for arguably a step down at USC, or a step down at FSU. He’s a weird guy but he’s in every rumor so I’m sure he’s at least listening.
I figured they would just sweep it under the rug.You don't think it had anything to do with the Zach Smith issues?
ACC is worse than the Pac 12.With the PAC-12 being down, I would think USC looks pretty appealing. It would probably take Urban a few years to overhaul Clemson but he could be top dog in the PAC almost immediately.
Well “officially” he retired but come on, we know that’s not the real story, right?He was??
I guess? I thought it was all blown over by the end of the year but I don’t really keep up with OSU.Well “officially” he retired but come on, we know that’s not the real story, right?
I don’t know about usc but FSU is at least two really good recruiting classes from competing with the heavyweights. However, he could get to 10-2 in the acc pretty quick I’d imagine.With the PAC-12 being down, I would think USC looks pretty appealing.

Meh. Parity doesn’t mean worse. Pac 12 hasn’t won anything in awhile.ACC is worse than the Pac 12.
He would be a great coach to get. I liked him when he got to OSU, and was sorry to see him leave. I am liking this Ryan Day dude as well!I guess? I thought it was all blown over by the end of the year but I don’t really keep up with OSU.
Yea Day seems like a grand slam.He would be a great coach to get. I liked him when he got to OSU, and was sorry to see him leave. I am liking this Ryan Day dude as well!
I've got fat fingers too. Hate it when I hit the 1 instead of the 2.Why wouldn’t we be shopping in the Urban aisle? FSU is easily a top 10-12 job. I would say USC is better for sure, so he would take that first but going to FSU wouldn’t be like going to Clemson before say, 2015.
Hopefully mark stoops brings his brother Mike.I have no idea why he would leave OSU for arguably a step down at USC, or a step down at FSU. He’s a weird guy but he’s in every rumor so I’m sure he’s at least listening.
FSU would become an instant national title contender again by 2022 with him, so they’d gain that. I think everybody involved would accept that knowing he would also only last 5 years tops.
I say all this realizing there probably isn’t even a 10% chance of getting him. I have no idea still why he left OSU.
*if this all goes down I think we get Mark Stoops.
Oh hey it’s guy whose team won the peach bowl over Harbaugh after a decade in the gutter feeling friskyI've got fat fingers too. Hate it when I hit the 1 instead of the 2.
3- Garrett lasts until mid January at least. If they go 10-6, win the NFC Least but don't at least make NFCC game, it's 60-40 he's gone. IMO.1. USC has a female president who will not hire Urban on her watch. She's going to die on that hill.
2. Why is Florida State in such a hurry to fire Taggart? What happened to all his recruiting classes and the patience he was promised? It hasn't even been 2 full years. Seems a bit hasty to me. Desperate even.
3. Dallas just throttled the Eagles. There isn't a vacancy there. Garrett isn't going anywhere and there are more jobs in the NFL coming open sooner than Dallas. Dan Quinn, Anthony Lynn, Adam Gase, the 26 year old in Cincy...all will be fired before Garrett. Just a point of clarification.
Urbs went from Utah --> Florida --> retirement #1 --> OSU --> retirement #2. The next job has to be up from OSU, and there aren't many of those. ND, Bama, etc. none of whom are looking for a coach. I can't see him going to the left coast for USC as his career outside of Utah AFAIK has been east of the Mississippi and he may not have any sway, connections, etc. out that way. Then again, Urban Meyer's name gets you inside a lot of recruits' living rooms no matter where you go.It has nothing to do with Clemson, but I don’t think Urban is in the market for a top 10-12 job.

It can be bothOn one hand I think it would be great to see UF add a quality home and home. On the other hand I feel like they're trolling UCF.
@ScottStricklin: Attention ADs from the ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 or Pac-12 … @GatorsFB is looking to add additional Home-and-Home series against P5 opponents. Let’s connect and schedule quality games the fans want to see! #GoGators
Jay Gruden might become the Jon Gruden of coaching in a few months.Meyer might be the new Jon Gruden of coaching rumors. Or is Gruden still the Gruden of coaching rumors?
He was "forced" by his wife and family to resign.Beef Ravioli said:Well “officially” he retired but come on, we know that’s not the real story, right?

YEs! So now Florida can get some sweet 11am kickoffs. Or, is that 10am?
Just pointing out that dumpster fires drop you out of the top 10 job opps. I should know (muschamp/mclwain). It'll be awesome when fsu drops 50 on uf this year to save taggert's job this year though.Capella said:Oh hey it’s guy whose team won the peach bowl over Harbaugh after a decade in the gutter feeling frisky
I was under the impression it was the administration that forced the “retirement”.He was "forced" by his wife and family to resign.
I don’t know that that’s true. Muschamp was a great score for UF, he just ended up being a bust. Don’t know what they were thinking with Mac however.Just pointing out that dumpster fires drop you out of the top 10 job opps. I should know (muschamp/mclwain).

President Drake took some liberty regarding what the board actually decided about Meyer, so Meyer was (and probably still is) pretty bitter towards Drake. Probably even bitter enough to leave over it. But Drake would have cost the school millions if he fired Meyer without cause. So no, Meyer wasn't forced to walk away from millions by those that owed it to him.I was under the impression it was the administration that forced the “retirement”.
I honestly can’t believe you believe any of that.He walked away because his family valued his life more than those millions. He is sick. And was sick when he was at Florida. He literally signed a contract with his family that he would stop coaching if his health became questionable, before they were willing to let him accept the OSU job. When he collapsed on the sideline against Indiana last year, I knew his family would tell him he had to stop.
From: https://www.crosswalk.com/blogs/jim-daly/urban-meyers-contract-with-his-family.htmlI honestly can’t believe you believe any of that.
But his wife said that if he ever signed another football contract he was going to have to sign a contract with the family, too. Meyer thought that was a good idea, so much so that when he held a news conference announcing his new contract with Ohio State, he shared the family contract (which was written by his daughter, Nicki) with the press.
What did it contain? Ten promises:
1. My family will always come first.
2. I will take care of myself and maintain good health.
3. I will go on a trip once a year with Nicki -- MINIMUM.
4. I will not go more than nine hours a day at the office.
5. I will sleep with my cell phone on silent.
6. I will continue to communicate daily with my kids.
7. I will trust God's plan and not be overanxious.
8. I will keep the lake house.
9. I will find a way to watch Nicki and Gigi play volleyball.
10. I will eat three meals a day.
I want him at Rutgers.Why would FSU hire Lane Kiffin? He can’t even win at fau
I have no doubt that the family contract exists. That’s not why he left though.
Mac has turned Central Michigan around. Bigly.I don’t know that that’s true. Muschamp was a great score for UF, he just ended up being a bust. Don’t know what they were thinking with Mac however.
So if Taggart gets hit by a bus on November 1st, does that mean they can go after Urban Liar?Awkward denial
@NicoleAuerbach: "If Coach (Taggart) were hit by a bus tomorrow, we would not target Coach Meyer, period," Coburn said. "I say that with all due respect to Coach Meyer, but we would not target Steve Spurrier either." https://www.tallahassee.com/story/sports/college/fsu/football/2019/10/22/florida-state-football-debunking-rumors-flying-fsu-program-willie-taggart-ubran-meyer-kendal-briles/4048781002/
It makes a good cover story. Stories are good to read at bedtime.I have no doubt that the family contract exists. That’s not why he left though.
