I heard somewhere they had 20 committed before Franklin left and now
they have 8.

Most hated coach? I think hating Urban Meyer would be akin to hating
Charlie Pell.
Yes, they both did bad things while at Florida, but both also did
great things for UF.
I’d say Steve Spurrier could have won a few more games than previous
coaches without Charlie.
But, to win a national championship at Florida? There’s no way he
would have if Charlie hadn’t garnered support for building better
facilities.
As for Urban, he did win 2 national championships while at Florida.
He certainly deserves my support if not my undying friendship.
He probably did tell some half truths/lies. But, is there a coach
out there who wants to move on to the next level who doesn’t profess
his eternal love for his current institution.
I’ve been watching the James Franklin saga with Vanderbilt. He told
them when he arrived he would like to retire while at Vanderbilt.
And he is retiring… retiring to Penn State… and taking a couple
of this year’s recruits with him.

Urban Meyer "used" Tim Tebow: NFL Hall-of-Famer and Gators great
Jack Youngblood no longer a friend of Urban

A few years ago, when Urban Meyer was the coach of the Florida
Gators, I remember talking to NFL Hall-of-Famer and Gator legend Jack
Youngblood about UF's football coach.
Youngblood then considered himself a close friend of Meyer's and used
words like "integrity" and "class" to describe Meyer's philosophy of
coaching.
Not anymore.
Youngblood, a guest on our *Open Mike radio show
<http://www.740thegame.com/pages/openmike.html>*Wednesday, had
nothing nice to say about Meyer, the type of athletes Meyer recruited
to UF or how Meyer departed Gainesville and became the coach at Ohio
State. Like many Gators, Youngblood said he was "very much"
disappointed in the way Meyer bolted UF.
You remember, right?
Meyer said he was leaving UF because he needed a break and wanted to
spend more time with his family. A few weeks later, after getting a
$1 million going-away bonus from UF, he was travelling the country as
a college football analyst for ESPN. A few months later, Meyer was
accepting the head-coaching job at Ohio State.
"When somebody tells me something to my face, I expect it to be
truth," Youngblood said of Meyer. "When it turns out not to be the
truth, that doesn't (put him) very high on my Christmas card list."
Youngblood, a Central Florida resident, then alluded to all of the
players that were arrested in Meyer's tenure at UF and agreed that
Meyer "used" the goodness of Tim Tebow and rode Tebow's coattails to
the moral high ground.
"He (Meyer) said character was the No. 1 thing and the main thing he
was recruiting on," Youngblood said. "That didn't happen. And then
all of the stuff at the end of (his UF stint), there just was just no
consistency to me."
Jack Youngblood, a Gator legend, proves the point of the Orlando
Sentinel, which last year named Meyer *the most hated coach

the history of college sports.
Think about it:
What other coach is so hated by the school where he attained his
greatness?
