I actually have less respect for Meyer because I think he bailed when things got tough. Bowden was 80+ (no one should be coaching at that age) and over a decade removed from his last title when he hung it up. UM is 50 years old (still fairly young as college head coaches go) and 2 years removed from 2 of 3 national titles. ![]() 2009 through 2010 that he wsn't used to.Īnd there's no comparison between Meyer and Bowden.

Evidently the Gators still have a tall mountain to climb to get back to the top of college football - and that would be the case with or without Meyer.

The Gators were badly beaten three times (Alabama, South Carolina and FSU) and lost in embarrassing fashion two other times (FG fake vs. The following 2010 season was an absolute mess in which the Gators looked poorly coached (particularly on offense) and with few real playmakers on either side of the ball.
