Gators’ football coach not looking at NFL
I ran across this interesting article in the Orlando Sentinel about Florida Gators football coach Urban Meyer and his chances of moving on to a job in the National Football League. The writer didn’t talk to Meyer himself, but talked to many people who are close to him to establish that Meyer’s not going anywhere.
Articles like these are usually meant to quell rumors, but frequently wind up fueling the very fire they’re supposed to put out.
Every time I hear about a coach saying he won’t be moving on to another job, it seems like he does anyway. Alabama’s Nick Saban is a classic example of a coach saying one thing, then doing another. While still with the Miami Dolphins, he insisted he was staying there. Next thing you know, he’s in Alabama and picking out his new staff. How are you supposed to know which side of his mouth is speaking the truth?
I don’t think Urban Meyer will be moving on to the NFL anytime soon. I’m sure he wants to defend his national championship. However, I didn’t think Nick Saban was going to Alabama either. So this could be the first clue that Meyer’s on his way to higher ground. Time will tell.
