Comments on: Utah’s Urban Meyer Next Florida Gators Football Coach http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/utahs_meyer_picks_gators_over_irish/ Online Journal of Politics and Foreign Affairs Wed, 25 Nov 2009 08:42:30 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Brian http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/archives/utahs_meyer_picks_gators_over_irish/comment-page-1/#comment-28715 Brian Sat, 04 Dec 2004 04:51:04 +0000 /?p=8319#comment-28715 Meyer goes to Florida, thus preventing Notre Dame from repeating their mistake of three years ago. Some guy out West has a smattering of success and suddenly he's pursued by schools, the scope of which he is ill prepared for. I don't think Notre Dame has completely jumped the shark just yet. There is hope but the window certainly is closing. This could well be their last chance to lure a blue chip coach to South Bend, and even now it will probably take a lot of work and open wallets.

Those of us who love college football continue to realize that Notre Dame is not only NOT culturally relevant anymore, but they are still thinking they are, and can do whatever they want. I'd look at Pitt's Walt Harris to be the next best thing, if Meyer goes this route.
