If you read Buddy Martin's bio "Urban's Way"; he pointed out that 43 of those players on the 2006 NC team weren't recruited by Zook - they were either Meyer's or Spurrier's. Pardon me, but I needed to set the record straight there.
Thank you for setting the record straight.
It doesnt matter who recurited who. Urban did a great job of bringing in the spread while utilizing the talent that was already there. The way he tweeked the O in 2006 to use Leak and Tebow was wonderfull....... Urban Meyer is a great coach and right now he has the Gators in a good spot to win another NC...... GO GATORS...................
i agree, this is what i meant by my prior comment. regardless of the players being spurrier or zook recruits, meyer was able to get the job done with player he may not have necessarily recruited. Quickly!
look at michigan you have a new coach with players that are not ideal for the new game plan. they are not doing well this year, but i would expect them to get better in time or at least when players are recruited to fill the needs of t new coach.
Urban had the same problems with UF but was able to adjust his game plan to the players he had at the time. obviously you can look at the his record and see unquestionable success considering the circumstances.
