GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida coach Urban Meyer says he plans to coach the Gators "as long as they'll have me."
With rumors swirling about Charlie Weis' future at Notre Dame, Meyer squashed any potential speculation about leaving Gainesville for South Bend.

Meyer also said he believes Tebow could coach Florida down the road.

That's one of the problems with media and anonymous forum rumors. He probably was not even thinking about the ND job and now has to go to the trouble of denying a rumor about something that did not happen. And part of the problem is that many will not believe his denial despite the fact he may not have even been thinking about it.
