🏈 So In 3yrs at Bama..........

[mrchase]

Saban and this team has ended 4 to 5 coaching careers (Tommy Bowden, Phillip Fulmer, Tommy Tuberville, some might say Sylvester Croom, and Urban Meyer)

So What Happens if we beat Penn State next year?

 

[TideAlum05]

Don't be an idiot. Saban did not put an end to Meyer.

 

[tidentrue]

alot wouldn't say urban,
as far as JoPa, just a coincedence

now if Richt, Spurrier or Myles was on that list, you would have a thread

 

[GeorgiaTider]

Remove Meyers from the list and we have a discussion.

I think my words may have been taken the wrong way...........AS far as any of the names on the list....I wasn't saying that Saban put a end to them.....just stating that it ended shortly after a loss to Bama. But Whatever.......People take how they will. And I'm a long path away from being a IDIOT............

I think the stress caused by a Saban coached team did add to UM resigning.

How? Meyer beat Saban in the SECCG the before. Saban does not own Meyer in any way shape or form (and vice versa with Meyer).

 

[mrchase]

I think when I strarted the thread I didn't see how my words would be taken..........sorry for the mis-wording. Didn't meant to start a feud.

 

[Roll Tide Rev]

Did I say Saban owned Myer? I was saying I think the loss contributed to the stress is all.

I think that's a seriously flawed stretch to draw that conclusion. Certainly the spectre of a Tebow-less team must be one of largest, if not THE largest factor.

Seriously think about if they had won the SECCG; there ain't no way he quits right now. The whole of UF is sooooooo not into their Bowl game against Cincy. The promoters of that Bowl must be in serious desperation now wih Kelly first, the news about the UF boycott and now Meyer. Very tough luck.

Agreed. It certainly didnt help.......

funny, I couldn't help but think about the same thing after hearing the news. I know they aren't related, but I do remember after the SEC game, he went to hospital...

Good for Urban to let health come first over power/money.

FWIW, Meyer's health problems didn't just crop up. They've been something he and his family have been dealing with for awhile now. While his resignation comes as a shock, it's tempered because of his health issues being known—most importantly known by the UF AD.

I have little doubt Foley hasn't had a plan in place for awhile now. My only question has to do with how the UF Admin. decide to handle the announcements along with giving proper due to Meyer and what he accomplished at UF.

FIRST THINGS FIRST
I can't wish any harder for the best with respects to the Meyers family. My Prayers are with him and his family.

Urban was diagnosed with a non-Cancerous growth on his brain while an Assistant at Notre Dame. It was rule non life threatening and non career threatening at that time.

Since then he has served as Head Coach at three schools, reaching Florida where he won 2x NCs, had one Heismand winner, and built a very hungry fan-base.

CUM's stress level has sky-rocketed, and we all know that stress is one of those things that can serve as a trigger for things like illness.

I'm not saying, because I don't know, and we can't say, because we don't know. However sports are quirky in it beliefs, superstitions, and habits. And broaching this topic in the right spirit is not out of reason. For instance;
If you are on the cover of Sports Illustrated, how do you perform next time out? Why do fans fear weak opponents just because their teams plays them the week before the Big Game? Why is it that only a kicker can be iced with a time-out? There is just enough truth to surrounding them to keep the belief alive.

So playing this silly game, how do we rule out that the added pressure of coaching against CNS did not contribute to Tubberville losing his job, and Fulmer, and Croom, and Orgeron? And if losing one's job is among the most stressful things to happen, fighting to keep one is also stressful. And when you spend a year reading the writing on the wall, that too is a lot of stress. So can we say that there were NO ill effects in coaching against CNS? And if we must admit that there were some impacts, then what would those impacts do to a man with a growth on his brain?

Again, I'm not saying, because I don't know, and we can't say, because we don't know. But equally we can't say yet that it is not the case, and that is a really odd, unique, (and sadly) interesting angle to all this.

It seems Meyer stepped down for health reasons. Best wishes, he was good for the conference.

Lighten up.

It always stuns me to see how people miss whit and sarcasm.

I don't think you owe anyone an apology. I understood your words for what they were. Pity some people just are not able to catch things like that.

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

It wasn't witty or funny. The guy stepped down for health reasons that had nothing to do with Saban.

...and I'm equally stunned with some people's inability to be witty while attempting to be sarcastic.

...and I think it's witty that you're sarcasm is stunning.
