It’s been 14 years since Urban Meyer last stood on the Florida Gators sideline as the team’s head coach. But apparently, you can take the coach out of Gainesville, but can’t take Gainesville out of the coach. That was evident when Meyer assessed a couple of struggling college football programs in the Sunshine State, praising his former school while also taking a shot at a former rival.

The three-time National Championship-winning coach weighed in on Florida, which has a 5-5 record, when he appeared on The Triple Option podcast.
