If I'm in charge at UF, you darn right I'd go for it. You can't just go out and replace a coach like Meyer. So the man has health issues, let him sit out, and come back in and start winning again. So what if they lose a few games next year, that would pale in comparison to what Meyer would likely do if he came back for good. The alternative is find somene else and hope he does well and possibly lose for more than just one year.
speaking of squirrel sh*t..... for those of you that dont get it, the quoted idea is nuttier than above mentioned poop.
