Urban Meyer to Broncos in 2011? (1 Viewer)

[doowain]

I know Meyer stepped down at Florida to be a better "family man". While that's all well and good, being a Florida follower, I doubt that Meyer's competitive nature will allow him to stay away from the game for very long. His potential health issues couldn't do it. If Denver comes calling (and there is no reason for me to think they will), would he be able to resist? The opportunity to coach at the NFL level is not an every day occurrence. Not to mention, the big story here would be he and Tebow reuniting. They share a special relationship (please no shtick) and I would have to think that would be a huge factor in any move like this. Florida has already moved on by hiring a new head coach, so that door is closed. If he were to coach somewhere next year, I don't see how it could possibly be anywhere else. Any head coaching position he would take at the NCAA level would be a step down and I don't see how any job would be more available or enticing to him than Denver.

It all seems a bit coincidental that McDaniels is fired, and in the same week Urban steps down. I'm not trying to read any more into it than that, but it's certainly worth noting.

Again, this is all complete speculation, but I'm surprised I haven't seen this drummed up anywhere.

Anyone like to share their thoughts on whether this would be a good/bad move, how likely it would be to happen, etc.? Homers and non-homers welcome...

all the reports i heard suggest that meyer was facing serious health issues - heart attack or whatever - by remaining a coach. he tried to manage it this year but it didn't seem possible long term. so he's stepping aside for a time. any speculation about him coaching anywhere - nfl or otherwise - for the foreseeable future is pure fantasy that this point.

it's been drummed up everywhere since Meyer stepped down. PFT had a discussion about it already. It wont' happen as the Broncos are looking for an experienced head coach, not a project from the college ranks, see Steve Spurrier.Mort and Schefter both reported on this that it's not going to happen.

Ahhh....I hadn't seen it come up anywhere. Not surprising at all that it was discussed.What would make him any more of a risk than a previously failed head coach or current offensive/defensive coordinator?You have any links handy? I'd be interested in taking a look at what they had to say.

All of my sources say it's unlikely to happen.

Heimerdinger, Kubiak, Morningwheg....these are other options the Broncos may look at.

That is what I've heard as well.

I'd be ecstatic to return Kubiak to the Broncos...

Oh lordy... as a pathetic Lions fan, I would not wish him on ANYONE as a head coach...
