This is no Urban Legend

This is no Urban Legend




After a very successful tenure at the University of Florida, including 3 National titles, Head Coach Urban Meyer has decided to step down. His reason for leaving the program is to devote more time to his family and his personal health.

The ultimate question is, what's next in store for the gator coaching "Legend"?

Well let's examine a few possible outcomes.
1. Urban actually means what he says and decides to just relax at home and bask in his gloried success in Gainesville never to be seen again, and more importantly take care of his. If you will remember, before last season Urban said he was retiring, then opted instead to take a leave of absence for health reasons before returning to lead the Gators. And considering the way he looked at the recent press conference, he just may not be in the best condition.



2. Meyer may decide to really give up coaching altogether but not completely leave the game. By this I mean, join the gameday crew or sit in the office of "Dr. Lou" (holtz) and provide his professional insight on the game and all things "spread" offense.

3. The final and most intruiging scenario is the one involving what I like to call the urban legend. What if the coach decides to go home to family and take care of his health. And then come oh...4 weeks from now the coach is spotted skiing in the rocky mountains. He then gets a call and interview from none other than the Denver Broncos. Keep in mind this is the same coach that has led 26 players to the NFL draft throughout his coaching career. Therefore the only next logical step would be to promote is recent heisman trophy winning '"Legend" to starting QB, the one and only Tim Tebow.



Meyer would also inherit a team that has a nice selection of offense weapons to compliment an already respectable defense. A quarterback that's not supposed to be an NFL prototype combined with an offense that isn't supposed to be able to function in the big leagues.
So I ask, could this be the inauguration of one Urban dispelling many legends?...

OR

Is this the USC curse? Remember the Reggie Bush situation that ran Pete Carroll to the Seattle Seahawks?

Doesn't the Cam Newton scandal sound similar? His father took the blame, and all is well?



Not even 90 days after the story broke Urban will still tell you that it's a "Urban Myth," but if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...

It's probably just College Football. Urban Mystic!
