GAINESVILLE — "Florida coach Urban Meyer remembers sitting in a hotel ballroom in Detroit in 2001, willing to talk about expectations and his upcoming debut as Bowling Green’s head coach.
He waited for questions.
He didn’t get any.
“Not one interview,” Meyer said Tuesday at Florida’s media day. “Do I miss those days? Sometimes I do.”
Meyer might miss them even more this season. After all, the Gators are an overwhelming favorite to win their third national championship in four years. Although Meyer acknowledged that he has “extremely high expectations for this team,” he vowed not to use words like “repeat” or “dynasty” while trying to manage all the hype.
“People’s expectations aren’t what drive the program,” he said. “What drives the program are players and the expectations that coaches put on the players. We have them now.”
