And So It Ends

And this time, for good

Quite honestly, I wish he had stayed resigned last year. It was clear from his “efforts” this season that he wasn’t into the demands of the job.

This isn’t to criticize Meyer entirely – he brought Florida unprecedented success. If someone doesn’t want to do a job, whether for health reasons or otherwise, don’t do it. But the question is, “Why the lost year?” If you weren’t into it, why have the fans suffer through a lost season? Now I’ve heard rumors of why he stayed, including that he might have been forced through various circumstances. If so, we ticket season holders are due a refund (fat chance, I know).

Overall however, this is the best decision for the Florida program, even if it is a year late. For our opposition, gloating and celebration is exactly the wrong reaction. Florida under the current coaching staff was a program in decline. Florida with a vacant head coaching position is the best job in the nation. If we want your coach, chances are we’ll get him.

My inside sources tell me expect an A+ hiring, money no object. ESPN is already reporting that “the world is Florida’s oyster”, and that we should “sit back and let the resumes roll in.”

If anyone should be celebrating its Florida fans – celebrating the great legacy of Coach Meyer, and celebrating a very bright future.

UPDATE: That crying sound you hear? It's coming from Miami.
