Urban Meyer - how long does he keep coaching?

[O-town Gator]

In an interview posted over at the Sentinel, UF prez Bernie Machen mentioned that he believes Coach Meyer won't go anywhere else (meaning that he's found a home at Florida); he'll likely "burn out" and call it a career sometime down the road. Good news for us, considering all the crap aound the "rumor mill" that those who aren't in the know and rivals like to throw around, but how long does everybody here think he'll keep coaching before he decides to retire?

Let's hear your thoughts.

I'm thinking maybe one or two more years at least. 3-5 at most. He might quit after 2009 season though that's just a guess.

I doubt that.

Once he's in his 50's and his youngest finishes high school, I don't see him actively coaching after that point.

FWIW, here's what Pat Dooley had to say: http://dooley.gainesville.com/default.asp?item=2337845

I personally don't think he's going anywhere for a long time.
