CTBengalsFan Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Why announce this now and not after the Sugar Bowl? If this is truly for "health reasons," the only explanation I can think of is that he wanted to pre-empt the story coming out from another source. Other than that, the timing just seems really fishy to me. He couldn't wait 7 days? Very weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making the development even more surprising is the fact that Meyer is only 45, and by all appearances he is in good health.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoBengal Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I read that he suffered some chest pains during the SEC championship game and after consulting with his doctor and family, decided that this was the best move.

|Bunghole| Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I think he just realizes that once Tim Tebow and his Tears Of Glory leave the program, he won't be able to replicate his "success", so he's concocting a reason to leave while at the height of his "powers", thereby preserving his "legacy".

CougarQuest Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Love to see UC pick up QB coach Scot Loeffler. He was CMU's QB coach in 2000/2001. Which means Butch Jones and Loeffler worked together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#22 Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I was sad to hear that an apparently healthy 45 year-old man has to resign because of his health, but it does lead the way for two potentially interesting scenarios: 1.) Tim Tebow takes over as their coach next season and then finally ascends into heaven after winning a National Championship, or 2.) Charlie Strong tells UofL to get fucked, and Florida hires him, leaving Louisville even more screwed up than they already were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Pretty crazy that this guy came from making Bowling Green a good team, to creating a damn near dynasty in Florida.

[/quote] I have to say that was my first thought as well. Obviously I don't know the real skinny on his health and all that, but it's just so rare for these driven, nose to the grindstone 24/7 coaches to just drop it all. I think most of them wouldn't know what to do with themselves. But since there are no "imminent" health concerns, I still wouldn't be shocked to see violations in a few weeks or months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
