Several underclassmen who make up part of the Florida football program will have a decision to make in the very near future -- remain in Gainesville for another year or make the leap to the NFL.
Based on the words of the father of one of those players, there’s at least one of them who will definitely not be in a Gator uniform when 2010 rolls around.
Bruce Black, father of junior safety Ahmad Black, was highly critical of head coach Urban Meyer, who the dad accused of disrespecting his son.
“I would let Ahmad stay if they would show him some respect,” Bruce Black said according to the Gainesville Sun. “I don’t think coach Urban Meyer respects my son. If he did, Ahmad would have started the first game (against Charleston Southern) instead of (sophomore) Will Hill. Coach Meyer favors certain players, and Ahmad isn’t one of them.
“I love the University of Florida and I love going to the games, but I think it’s a matter or respect for my son. It may be time for him to move on.”
There’s nothing quite like the smell of burning bridges in the evening, is there?
