Not to be a downer on Friday, but saw this posted elsewhere about why Urban took the Florida job over ND. It could be relevant if Drink is offfered as our recruiting net is a good bit wider. I assume his kids are still young.
I was offered the Notre Dame job and the Florida job. I'm Irish Catholic and I love Notre Dame, I would go there in a minute" Meyer said. "But, the reason I took Florida — not many people know this — is because I had young kids at the time. When you recruit for Notre Dame, you recruit Los Angeles, Phoenix, Dallas, New Jersey, New York Memphis and Florida.
"You know where you recruit when you're at Florida? You've got a King Air and you've got a Citation at your disposal. I was home almost every night. You recruit Tampa, you recruit Miami, you recruit Polk County, you go up into Georgia. But you're home. Florida has it all right there."
