I’ll bet Timmy stressed him out.

Whittingham is a great coach, but he’s not for Florida. That job is for the freaks, the real egomaniacs or workaholics who care for nothing but that level of success. Whittingham will take what he can get, but he’s not driven to be that guy.

If he did take the bait and bolt?

Utah’s program is attractive enough now to get a fine coach. Then after Whittingham realizes how god awful the SEC drama circle jerk is he’ll come back and take over for the guy who made his name at Utah and wants ot be the next coach at Michingan or Notre Dame.

I was floored when I heard the news. I find it ironic that I was always joking that Meyer must have made a deal with someone to be as successful as he was, and that somewhere along the way karma would eventually go against him….now I feel sorry that I may have been right (except for selling his soul of course).
   Let’s not forget though Florida is a gold mine, as far as coaching prestige. Even with no Tebow, no Percy Harvin and so on, Florida will still be a force to be reckoned with in the SEC. While this move further validates Nick Saban and Alabama as the premiere SEC power, I don’t expect too much of a drop off.
  As far as the rumors of Kyle Whittingham succeeding him are concerned , I’m not completely convinced that Kyle is the guy they want, There was a lot of things about Meyer and his personality that made him perfect for Florida at the time, and frankly I don’t see the same case with K-Whitt. I just think he’s a west coast guy but more importantly, he’s a Utah man!.

I would laugh my * off if Bobby Bowden was in the running to succeed him. For obvious reasons however, It’s more likely that Tom Brady would opt out and join the Detiot Lions before we saw old man Bowden in Gator blue.
