If the bozo who started that rumor on that ND blog had bothered to do his homework, at USA Today there’s a copy of Meyer’s contract that stipulates that other job offers can’t be discussed until after the season, and there’s a set window of time between when the regular season ends and January 2 of the following year – so much for that “source” and his bogus information.

Coaches draw scorn from everyone when they say one thing and do another ala Petrino, Saban, Butch Davis. I doubt Urban is spending too much time worrying about what people think about him but I still find it highly unlikely that he would say,” Im not going to Notre Dame. Ever!” if that’s what he truly plans to do.

I can’t wait till Weis gets the axe so Meyer can tell them no AGAIN and end this stupidity. It is, however funny to watch jealous opposing fans drone on and on about how it’s a done deal.

John-

If you live in Florida and wish to order the game, simply call your local cable or satellite provider. You could also search your TV listings for the game that day and probably click through the buttons on screen.

If you live outside of Florida, the game is only available on ESPN Gameplan. In that case, you could order that entire package (pretty worthless at this point in the season) or just head over to a local bar or restaurant that has the package.

Hope that helps.

Meyer is about to sign his best class ever…..maybe he thinks about a move in a few years…but between that and his kids and wife loving Hogtown and sunny Florida….I don’t think it’s very likely

Gotcha, didn’t see 10 year so thought the years were the same. Who the hell wants to be in South Bend for 10 years? Irish are idiots if they think thats what Urban is after.

And just to clarify, ALL of this is rumor and conjecture. So take it as a hypothetical at this point.

No, I was talking about the contract on an annual basis. $50 mil over 10 years is $5M per year. $24 mil over 6 years is $4M per year. Therefore, the contract is only $1M per year more. Granted, the guaranteed money is more because it is over a longer period of time, but at UF, Urban would be able to re-negotiate after six years or be out of the contract should he want to go to the NFL. (He re-negotiates every year he wins the title anyway.)

It says he was offered a guaranteed 50 mil. Thats 26 more mil than we pay him now which is fairly significant…did you mean they offered him 25 million?
