Urban Meyer will jump ship because that is what Urban Meyer does.

Urban called ND his dream job more then once.
He likes to get to the top of the mountain, he does not like trying to stay there.
Go Gators!
OSU grabbed a hired gun. They don't stick around at the end of the movie....they either get shot or ride away with flames smoldering in the background.

I don't understand all the ''one and one''talk,about a man who is going to lead the team out of NCAA sanctions and back to respectability.Much like Saban has done at Alabama when they finally got out from under the NCAA's grasp.Why anyone would want to leave a coaching job at a premier football program for an irrelevant Notre Dame squad is beyond me.

I understand your opinion. Believe me, I have my own doubts. I'm not Urban's biggest fan. Never have been. And while I'm excited about his regime, I'm not drinking heavy Kool-Aid either.
That being said, we don't have to worry about him leaving any time soon. If he leaves OSU like he left Florida, and if it happens soon, he can kiss his coaching career goodbye. I think he understands that.
Is Saban really any different? The way he ditched Michigan State, LSU, and the Dolphins?
I suggest going to mlb.com and pulling up the current mlb standings and just study that page for about ten minutes.Don't think about why the standings look the way they do just look at them for what they are.Make sure you check out the NL central real close and I think it will help.Doing this has been helping me when I've found myself in a bad mood lately.
Ohio State has always, always, always been Urban's dream job and don't let anyone tell you differently. It might not be his last job, but it's always been his most coveted job since he started coaching. That's in his authorized biography too, for the record. There's a whole chapter dedicated to his being a lifelong Ohio State fan and dreaming of coaching there one day.
Urban had been telling very close friends for the last several years that he hoped to have a shot at the Ohio State job. In fact, he had heard rumors that Tressel was going to retire in the next few years and when he left Florida, he told a few people he'd consider getting back into coaching if the Ohio State job opened up.
