Florida’s president Bernie Machen was quoted by the Orlando Sentinel’s Jeremy Fowler this week about Urban Meyer’s future at Florida.
“I think what will happen to Urban is he won’t go somewhere else, he’ll just burn out and quit,” Machen said. “He’ll reach the point he can’t do it any longer at the level he demands of himself. Hopefully it’s not for 10 years.”

It’s Sunday morning and I feel the need to weigh in.
Not about the Florida basketball team’s flop in Knoxville Saturday
night. Not about the Arizona offense against the Pittsburgh defense.
Not about how we’re going to miss those decadent Ashley’s wings.
