Looks like the rumor that Meyer is interested in coaching in the pros, particularly for the Atlanta Falcons, has picked up steam enough to get noticed by the “real media.” Assuming that “Florida Today” isn’t just some really snazzy blog.

ORLANDO – While there have been some mild whispers that perhaps the Atlanta Falcons would be interested in trying to lure Urban Meyer away from Florida, he stopped that talk before it could get started.

Meyer said after UF’s practice Sunday he hasn’t been contacted by Atlanta. If the Falcons called, would he listen?

“No,” he said. “I’m really happy where I’m at. I’ll give you the Coach 101 speech, but mine is from the heart.”

I wonder if it came from Meyer’s heart when he promised Jevan Snead that he was only recruiting Tim Tebow as a linebacker? You think it’s from the heart when Meyer tells recruits that he’ll be able to start them right away because the guys that already play for him will be academically ineligible?

Meyer will be in the NFL within 2 years. Stone.
