Urban Meyer says Michigan finally has a spread offense
“Well, I went back and watched it and I think Gattis did a heckuva job,” Meyer said. “That’s a legitimate spread offense. And he has options.

Cratering my own response. Posted before reading all the responses.

Has to be a .00001 chance he would consider MSU. I do think its 50-50 he coaches again though, maybe 60-40. Maybe USC?
October 27th, 2020 at 10:50 AM ^
If Urban comes back for 2021, it will be for ND or UT or maybe USC.
October 27th, 2020 at 10:58 AM ^
Meyer would never coach at MSU. They don't have the name to attract him or the money to pay him. I could see him taking the USC job when that opens again--which will be soon. I could see him taking the Texas job as well. Both are recruiting hotbeds. I can't see him at Tennessee. Tennessee isn't exactly a recruiting hotbed. It's a tougher rebuild for him, and the current roster is weaker than the other two. I'll add this--maybe UCLA?
October 27th, 2020 at 11:21 AM ^
He’ll be back as soon as next year. Maybe USC or UCLA. Maybe Texas. Maybe, god forbid, ND. Kelly won’t stay forever.

Man, the readership here is nuts. I put in a throw-away joke about MSU looking for a new coach (a dig at Tucker) and y'all think and actually debate the notion of Urban actually coaching at MSU. The notion that Urban would touch that steaming pile known as MSU with a long pole was most assuredly not what I meant. I'm all for a spirited discussion on the board, but let's keep the car on the road.

Out coached by Lloyd.
October 27th, 2020 at 9:46 AM ^
That was a great victory for Michigan, but was it Meyer really being "outcoached" or was it Carr finally unleashing the significant talent on his own team?
October 27th, 2020 at 10:48 AM ^
Both?
October 27th, 2020 at 2:31 PM ^
Also outclassed by Lloyd.
October 27th, 2020 at 7:52 AM ^
Gosh, I was on pins and needles wondering what Urban’s opinion was.
October 27th, 2020 at 7:53 AM ^
Who cares what that liar thinks and says.
October 27th, 2020 at 7:55 AM ^
Well, I went back and JT was short and Urban banged a bunch of co-eds. He's a legitimate scumbag with a lot of options!
October 27th, 2020 at 12:12 PM ^
So much banging colonel.
October 27th, 2020 at 8:04 AM ^
I was just thinking about him.
October 27th, 2020 at 8:19 AM ^
I guess maybe I'm a little bit of a conspiracy theorist but I don't like Urban Meyer being on for Michigan games and then rewatching Michigan games. I notice when he speaks of the Buckeyes he says "we" a lot! I think he still has his hands in their game plans for Michigan, he maybe the one that watches and breaks down all the Michigan tape and sends it in at the end of the season to allow Day to concentrate on his weekly games. I don't like it one bit!
October 27th, 2020 at 8:28 AM ^
Nothing about him not being an analyst on Fox prevents that.
October 27th, 2020 at 8:33 AM ^
Urban lies. And apparently Day learned from his mentor. Didn't have the right personnel in to take a knee?!?!?! Ha ha.
October 27th, 2020 at 9:42 AM ^
It was purely by coincidence that OSU covered the spread by not having their take a knee squad on the field in the closing seconds.
October 27th, 2020 at 10:02 AM ^
in fairness, their backup quarterback just walked in. The Nebraska defense is atrocious.
If you dont want them to score with 19 seconds left, dont let them.
October 27th, 2020 at 9:19 AM ^
I mean... I don't like the guy, but he's among the most qualified people on the planet when it comes to analyzing spread offenses. He built one of the first successful iterations in Florida and then turned a strong OSU into the death machine it is today. The guy's stamp of approval on an offense is not nothing.
Don't fall for the false dichotomy... he can be incredibly talented and a person of questionable integrity.
October 27th, 2020 at 9:25 AM ^
Thank you?
October 27th, 2020 at 9:25 AM ^
Alas, every time I hear him speak, I hate the he sounds knowledgeable and smart. So smart, in fact, that he learned how to wipe his cellphone.
October 27th, 2020 at 9:35 AM ^
We'll always have this, as fleeting as it was. 
October 27th, 2020 at 10:14 AM ^
WE didnt have this. MSU has this.
October 27th, 2020 at 1:52 PM ^
Just because someone else caused this, doesn’t mean we all don’t get to enjoy it
October 27th, 2020 at 9:47 AM ^
I mean, I wish I didn't care, but I do.
October 27th, 2020 at 10:01 AM ^
he didnt actually say "Michigan" he wouldn't do that.
October 27th, 2020 at 10:01 AM ^
Would somebody please find Ja Rule so I can make sense of all this.....WHERE IS JA!!
October 27th, 2020 at 10:27 AM ^
hate that guy
October 27th, 2020 at 10:27 AM ^
Urban’s wife spreads offensively.
October 27th, 2020 at 10:39 AM ^
Computer, show me an opinion from someone I don't give two shits about.
October 27th, 2020 at 10:44 AM ^
This is a power spread offense that I think is best suited for the B1G. I like what I saw on Saturday and hope it continues.
October 27th, 2020 at 10:50 AM ^
Regardless of what you think of Meyer, I agree with everything he said, and his analysis is spot on.
- Gattis did a great job. The game plan, as noted in Michigan Monday, didn't require too much of Milton.
- Milton did everything asked of him, is a great athlete, and is only gonna get better.
- Warinner has done a tremendous job with the OL. They are pulling, working as a unit, and doing everything asked of them. (I personally believe the OL is a key reason we are doing well, and a key reason we have not been good for many, many years.)
I have drunk the koolaid, and am really looking forward to seeing Milton get better and the team improve.
October 27th, 2020 at 12:12 PM ^
Water is wet.
October 27th, 2020 at 12:17 PM ^
Just in time for the era to end.
October 27th, 2020 at 12:39 PM ^
Don't like the guy but he was a great coach. Glad he likes our offense.
October 27th, 2020 at 1:03 PM ^
Meyer is a scumbag.
October 27th, 2020 at 1:29 PM ^
F that guy, but I agree -- watching the game I felt like Michigan had a legitimate modern offense. First time in a long time I felt that way, felt like even past couple of years we were still play Lloyd Carr ball, with some hoke/harbuagh wrinkles thrown in. Also helps that Milton looked amazing.
October 27th, 2020 at 3:51 PM ^
His unbiased compliments are pissing me off. I hate that crooked bastard and he's making it very hard these days.
