<p>navarre1, I’m not a UA fan, I’m a Michigan fan. UF would be a step down. If you honestly think UF would be a step up, you know nothing about college football. Tradition does matter. Right now some top schools are down, like ND and Michigan, but they’ll be back. They still pull in top 10-15 recruiting classes, even though they aren’t even in the top 40-50 teams. If Florida was bad for ten years, they would not get the top recruits, even though ND and Michigan still do get some pretty good talent, and they haven’t been good in a while. Why would Saban leave Bama when he will win a National Championship and could easily do it again within the next few years. It’d take more time than that to do it at Florida.</p>
<p>Why do you think Urban Meyer had a clause in his contract that said he could leave for Ohio St, Michigan, or Notre Dame at any time without penalty? Because they are more prestigious places to coach. They have more tradition. They have more devoted fans and alumni. Don’t speak like you know everything when you don’t know anything.</p>
