Meyer probably tried to explain away the fact that the tailback position was an afterthought in his offense.  He had zero 1,000-yard rushers at tailback in his six years at UF.

He has two National Championships. Who the hell cares about 1,000 yard rushers. I really don't get the Urban hate in terms of what he has done in the world of college football. He has won everywhere and he didn't simply win at FL because of Tebow. There was a guy named Chris Leak there when Tebow was a situational gimmick. The guy will win. I don't think he will win more than Hoke over the next 10 years but he will win. In fact, him+Braxton Miller scares the hell out of me.

That's a good point, but I think you're missing the argument here. Brionte wants to have a chance to play in a prostyle offense which will then best help him get to the NFL. Meyer has not produced that type of player or used that type of player in his offense. Dunn doesn't like that offense as a result. If Dunn goes to OSU and isn't used properly, it might hinder him from accomplishing other goals, like playing in the NFL, even if he is on a national championship team.

On paper, he didn't get any more out of Chris Leak than Ron Zook.

I'm not going to argue that he's a bad coach, but there's no way he has the same four year stretch without Tim Tebow. So the question is whether he can find another player like that (not to mention defense and coaching staff).

He would fit into the O as the situational power runner, something all O's need. Tebow fit that bill at FL fortunately for Meyer along with everything else possible. Dunn is not a situational runner though; he is, and should be, a features back.



But somehow I think Meyer told him he would run pro-style, just to get him into the fold.

Michigan runs the spread and still gets a 1,000 yard RB along with Denard.  All Urban had for running was Tebow at Florida.  And with Gardner the offense will be a lot more pro set heavy, and then with Shane it will almost cetainly be all pro with some shotgun thrown in.

That's not really the issue.  Toussaint topped 1,000 yards rushing this year and will probably exceed that next year.  It's not the spread per se, but the Meyer version of the spread that doesn't make the tailback the primary rusher.

I think the comparison is fine. It isn't necessarily between Michigan and WV; its more of distinction between RR's spread offensive scheme and Urbans. RR offense ran in WV ran around 70% of the time and utilized RBs heavily. They weren't just lead blockers. As such Noel Devine wanted to play in the offense. It doesn't exactly matter that the Big East doesn't have elite defenses but during RR's time there the Big East had some elite offenses (Louisville, WV, and Rutgers/Ray Rice). I don't know why you are so frustrated about the WV comparison. The poster was just explaining that RR used RBs when he had them. We just didn't exactly have any we could use effectively when he was here, since he overlooked Minor the first season and after giving Minor the reigns not being able to pass might fly in the Big East but not the Big Ten. Then Minor was injured most of 2009. Shit.
