Florida head coach (for now) Urban Meyer is not going to be the next coach of the Dallas Cowboys, despite rumors to the contrary. Said rumors are believed to have started from rival coaches attempting to poach the Gators top rated recruiting class.
High school running back Mack Brown, a Gator commit, says that he heard some crazy things regarding Meyer’s coming and going.
From the Orlando Sentinel:
“They would say, he’s tricking ya’ll — he’s going to the NFL to coach the Dallas Cowboys,” Brown said. “I was like ‘What?’ There’s no way.”
Ok. He’s not going. Fine. But someone might want to ask him again, later today. Or tomorrow, or the day after that. Maybe someone should run the Cowboy question past Meyer after a bad practice and see if his heart is about to pop again. Apparently he makes those kind of decisions based on the quality of the morning workout.
Meyer created this environment. He is responsible for opening this mess. He is the one who quit, then didn’t, then sort of quit, then said he would be back for spring practcie. Of course the other greaseball coaches in the SEC and other leagues were going to try and use that to their advantage.
It’s up to the recruits to try and figure out what is real and what isn’t. Meyer to the Cowboys might be the most ridiculous idea ever. If he was about to give himself an M.I. coaching college football with an athletic director who loves him, why would he sign up to be Jerry Jones hand puppet?
He wants to get away from the craziness of the college game to go work for Jerry Jones? Go work for an owner who gets more camera time than the star quarterback, the world famous cheerleaders and the billion dollar stadium combined? That was going to prevent him from having his ticker burst like a water balloon? Right.
Nick Saban, errr, ‘other coaches’ are going to have to come up with a better scheme than that.
