It may not just be that Meyer has moved a lot, it may be that he has to move a lot because he lacks the ability or the particular skillset required to build a long term dynasty...

Or Mrs. Meyer gets tired of him porking the coeds.

Hey grumbler, did you read "Three and Out"?

It is getting a lot of positive press on the Arizona board, including plenty from a batch of Michigan fans who've shown up recently...

...Tim Tebow was one of the top QB prospects in the nation, he was heavily recruited all over the country, but he grew up in Florida and ended up going to the best football school in the state.  ...

If was 1980-2003 I wouldn't have said Florida was the best football school in the state. But by the time Tebow signed his LOI with Florida the Hurricanes were clearly in a downward spiral with widespread disciplinary problems, poor on field performance and etc.

It really is amazing that Miami won 5 national championships over a 23 year span, and was all around dominating (with more wins over that span than I believe anyone other than Nebraska.) What really makes it amazing is unlike Nebraska or even Penn State, Michigan, Ohio State etc, is Miami did it with virtually no serious fan or alumni support. Miami is a small school with no real national fan base that has poor attendance even at home games. They have abysmal traveling fans, one year Miami barely brought anyone to the Gator Bowl which is in their home state, for example.

I assume you don't mean they lack for boosters ($$$).

Maybe I'm wrong, but I do think they lack for athletic boosters. I'm not saying they don't have any, they have one who is in prison for running a multi-million dollar Ponzi scheme, for example. But given the general state of their facilities, which have been falling apart for over a decade now, I do think they have a lack of serious booster support. Even at middle-tier SEC programs like Auburn there are boosters that would never let the athletic facilities degrade to the state Miami's were in when they won their last championship. Let alone what they look like now.

Really?  You don't think your house is good?  Or just that it's hard to pay for, under the circumstances?
