Why would Urban Meyer leave FL - great weather & the best gig in college football?

Brian Kelly was mentioned previously as Weiss' successor if he continues to lose. A very successful coach, has UC in top 20 and scoring a ton of points.

I'd hate to see Kelly leave UC but he definitely has a bigger position in mind.

Meyer has it written into his Florida contract that he can leave for the ND job. If he wins another title at Florida this year, what is left for him to accomplish at UF?

I will say one thing. The reason why Steve Spurrier left was because he was tired of Gator fans complaining about 10 win seasons.

Now of course at Notre Dame, the alumni would be every bit as demanding, but I can clearly see from many of my fellow Gator brethren, that they now pretty much demand a Championship every year, at least an SEC title, and for some that won't be enough. Even two years removed from back-to-back basketball titles, I hear a lot of Gator fans starting to get on Billy Donovan. And that's just wrong.

Yes these are great times for football at UF, but with Tebow leaving, we are probably due for a few down years after this one, I just hope the UF faithful cut Meyer a little more slack than they did Spurrier. (Now Ron Zook on the other hand, that's another story)
