Mack Brown says Meyer retiring for health reasons...impact of Brown's insight for Huskers

[knapplc]

Mack Brown and Urban Meyer are friends. Urban apparently spilled all the beans to Mack about his retirement.

Here's hoping that none of Nebraska's coaches develop health problems. If they did, that would impact our team. Feel free to discuss how Nebraska's coaches having health problems could impact Nebraska in this thread.

The Latest: Brown says Meyer retiring for health reasons

North Carolina coach Mack Brown says Ohio State coach Urban Meyer told him he is stepping down for health reasons.

Brown told reporters that Meyer called him on Monday morning to tell him about his decision to retire after the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, a decision that was announced on Tuesday.

Brown says Meyer “explained to me that he has the health issues and that’s totally the reason he’s stepping away, and it’s time for him to do that.”

Brown added: ”(Meyer) told me that he couldn’t be animated at the level he needed to to energize the team and stay healthy.”

Brown was coach at Texas for 16 years and there were times he expected to face Meyer’s Florida teams in national championship games. He just took over at North Carolina.

Knapplc-We already have a thread on how a top coach in the BIG leaving (Meyer) could affect how the Huskers fare in the future, and there are MANY replies already in that thread.  

Mod-SHould this thread be merged?

UNL is a marijuana-free campus, so there shouldn't be any bowl prep going on currently.
