08:31 AM ET 11.30 | A down season and Saturday's 31-7 loss at Florida State has Urban Meyer admitting fixes are needed at Florida. "I can assure you we're going to rebuild this thing and build it up the right way and do it right," Meyer said. "Obviously we're down a little bit. I didn't believe we'd be that far down but we are. How do you build up a program? I've done it a few times and you build it up with tough players and tough coaches and you've got to play better."

Rebuild? Better coach em up and get yourself a quarterback that can play.

Is Urbie holding his breath in that picture?

"you've got to play better" --quote of the year.

Meyers can do it - he turned around Utah in a year or two and now they're on their way to the PAC.

I have full confidence that Meyer will get this worked out. The question is, which assistant coaches are part of the solution and which ones are part of the problem.

He and Mack Brown both need a big hug.

It does to a lot of people. Heard more than once they don't want a lot of choir boys playing.

It looks like the Randy Shannon pose. Careful Urbie!

Good grief, do we have to have a daily "Gators gotta do something" thread?


VR, if you read this -- tell'em the Bruce Pearl quote from yesterday. Some people may not have seen it. It's a classic, and Urban probably feels the same way as Bruce.

You'd think T & R could dig in their archives and find another photo.

Load em up and take em down to Miami. The two Chads are giving seminars I hear.

First of all, why in the world Ole???Urb recruited Brantley to UF is beyond me. He does not fit the mold of his QB???s. But never the less the point was that all last season when someone questioned a Gator fan in regards to what was going to happen when Tebow left, the answer was always ???You just wait-Brantley is a stud?????????..whatever idiots.

Second of all, I think Urb won his first NC with the Zookers boys and his second with Tebow. So if you are keeping score, he won with someone else???s players and another with a once in a lifetime Left Tackle who could throw the pigskin around a little. He better win next season with either his players or someone other than Tebow or people other than Gator fans, who are already talking about this very subject will begin to question things at UF.

Nope, tough = Tebow, bro. Thugs have no place in sports.

That's not what I see in the pros (NFL, NBA, etc.)
