Title: Urban Meyer Left Florida Worse Off Than When He Arrived Post by: Marshal Dillon on July 21, 2011, 06:19:20 PM Whoa, talk about a slap in the face. I think the last 2 years, Meyer mailed it in on recruiting.

I say they won the NC in recruiting that February (09). Do I have the years wrong MD?

Zook just couldn't coach. Meyer had talent when he arrived but he never let the talent level get low. CNS is the only SEC coach that recruited as well as Meyer.

Title: Re: Urban Meyer Left Florida Worse Off Than When He Arrived Post by: cbbama99 on July 21, 2011, 07:57:37 PM Quote Zook left Meyer the nucleus of a national championship team; Meyer left Muschamp the nucleus of a Beef O'Brady's Bowl team. Wow, that's harsh. Funny, but harsh. The cupboard is not exactly bare, though I don't expect them to win more than 8 games this year. Title: Re: Urban Meyer Left Florida Worse Off Than When He Arrived Post by: 2Stater on July 21, 2011, 07:57:57 PM I'm not sure I buy that. Here is Scout's recruiting rankings for 2010.

I see 8-4, 9-3 at the very best for UF.

I see 8-4, 9-3 at the very best for UF. They're lucky they don't play in the West. So is Mark Richt for that matter...he'd be packing his bags after this year. He has a shot to stick around in the East.

He was being interviewed at the end and was asked "What makes coaching fun?" He responded "Winning, going 6-7, not so much."

But after the scandal (jersey sale) their team chemistry went south. So, I won't predict success by UGA this year. But many other are saying it's their year. Certainly they have the talent. Title: Re: Urban Meyer Left Florida Worse Off Than When He Arrived Post by: Catch Prothro on July 22, 2011, 09:05:37 AM I think the story is a bit extreme. Meyer certainly recruited talent; it is just that the recruiting competition got harder when Saban rolled into Ttown. It's not like Florida's cupboard is as bare as, say, Bama's was in 2005.
