Urban Meyer “Mocks” Notre Dame as he reveals personal reason for choosing Florida over Notre Dame football.

Urban Meyer, a former college football coach who won two National Championships at Florida and one at Ohio State, is considered one of the best to ever grace the sideline.

Fans of the sport may be surprised to learn that the Ohio native might have coached Notre Dame football. Meyer commented on the situation via The Triple Option. You know,

I was offered jobs at Notre Dame and Florida, and I’m an Irish Catholic who adores the university. Meyer admitted, “I’d go there in a minute.”

“But the reason I took Florida, and not many people notice, is because I had young kids at the time.”

While it’s commendable for a man to prioritize his family, it is also a monument to the Floridian.

Meyer noted that Notre Dame recruits from Los Angeles, Phoenix, Dallas, New Jersey, New York, Memphis, and Florida.

“Do you know where you recruit when you’re in Florida?” You’ve got a King Air and a Citation at your disposal. I was home virtually every night because you recruit Tampa, Miami, Polk County, and go up to Georgia, but you are home. Florida has it all right there.”

Meyer left Utah for Florida in 2005, and the Fighting Irish turned coach Charlie Weis after Meyer declined. While Weis led the club to Sugar, Fiesta, and Hawaii Bowl berths, he never achieved Meyer’s level of success.

While Meyer’s coaching career is now in the rearview mirror, is there any chance he will return to the sideline?
