Notre Dame fan takes a shot at the Gators and Meyer!

[Skeet84]

This was a question to Bruce Feldman a writer for ESPN about College Football. I don't agree with the guy at all and I honestly wonder id he really knows what he is talking about. Here is the Question.....




From Sean in Pittsburgh: Bruce, Notre Dame fans are very glad Urban Meyer is not in South Bend. While Meyer has shown he is all talk when it comes to discipline, Charlie Weis has done just the opposite. Just ask Rashon Powers-Neal if Weis is forgiving. Neal, the starting fullback in 2005, got a DUI over fall break and never saw the field again in an Irish uniform. Not only is Weis' offense much better than Meyer's, but Weis is a much better person as well.



Feldman: Hey Sean, in fairness to Meyer, every situation is different. I had some people talk about USC's handling of Winston Justice's incident a few years back. But that was actually the second time in Winston's career that he had legal trouble at USC. I also think it's too early to rip Meyer's offense apart. Chris Leak doesn't appear to be a great fit and his offensive line was very mediocre. But yes, I do understand why ND folks are excited that they "ended up" with Weis. He seems to make all the right moves.

operative words... "they "ended up" with Weis"

No one is disappointed with getting Weis. He may not have been the first choice, but that doesnt mean he wont end up being the better choice. Not saying Weis is a better coach, or bashing Meyer, but Weis could be better suited for the ND job and Meyer for Florida.

I like weis as a coach. I mean taking them to the Fiesta bowl was a big accpomplishment for his first year coaching

Florida does not have the high academic and other standards that Notre Dame has.....they don't put up with alot of off-the-field issues at Catholic universities...it has nothing to to with who the coach is.

I do agree with that they are both suited good for seperate universitys. No one can really count Meyer's first season cause he had zero of his pieces and had alot of depth problems at WR and no oline. I think this season will be alot better!

Weis is a much better person as well.

Based on what? :confused:

That was a Question to ESPN so I can't answer that. I never said it so I don't know

I realize that. I was simply stating the guy who said that had no basis for that statement.

Oh ok! :wink: I think ( Not for sure ) the guy is talking about how Charlie handled the DUI and How Meyer let Tookes go. However the team said it would displine him, But the Team would do it and knowing Meyer I would not wanna be Tookes! You know what happens in the Pit!!!

are you kidding me it has nothing to do with the coaches??? ty willingham was a players coach, and bob davies was not a diciplinarian (sp) at all. neither of them would bench a guy if it meant benching there best player. its rare you see something like that, most coaches wont jeopardize the game and not playing the best player they got.

weis benched a lineman this year for a half for making a dumb penalty. the guy wont take CRAP from anyone. and he RUNS THE SHOW. no one else

It only takes one year to turn around a program. Just look at Nick Saban and Charlie Weis

 

[schisno]

and it only takes the next to fall down flat on your face again. I'd wait to see how well a team can do putting back to back "good" seasons. Its about consistency, not one year.

Florida does have high academic standards, that school is incredibly hard to get into.
