    Urban Meyer’s Florida home is for sale

    You could live in Urban Meyer's Gainesville mansion.

    Yes, that's right, for the steal of $1.7 million dollars, you can live where a champion lived and bask in his 6-bedroom abode that is adorned with Florida Gators decor that only a true fan can really appreciate.

    The house is equipped with 5.5 baths, and indoor swimming pool, a three-car garage and nearly two acres of land. The ad from the Focus Real Estate Group, which throws out Meyer's name as a selling point, claims the home to be "Executive living at its finest" and this is no exaggeration. Meyer's Gainesville home is quite stunning and includes the largest sectional couch I've ever seen. I guess when you're having the team over you have to have someplace for the players to sit.

    But enough from me, here's a brief photo tour of the property:

    The property is, dare I say, resplendent. But what else would you expect from man who won two national championships and had a Heisman Trophy winner at Florida? If I was going to take a leave of absence, I would want to take it at Urban Meyer's Florida mansion.

    I'm curious to know what the Columbus, Ohio replacement mansion looks like. Pretty sure it doesn't have palm trees, but I hope he at least kept the couch.

      After they won the games, they would lure unsuspecting hoes here, by telling them they could be Tim Tebows first. Kept that one going for a few years.......

      That is not an indoor pool. That is a screened in pool

      I'm sure it was a nice home for them with a lot of special memories. However, I'm not sure what's so special about the structure/fixtures/features. Perhaps the best thing is the enclosed pool.

      Woody Hayes lived in the same unpretentious 3 BR Cape Cod his entire adult life. At times, Hayes refused pay raises because he believed they would interfere with winning; as a result, some of his assistants were paid more than he was. In 1978, his last season, Hayes' salary was $43,000.

      Ah, the great NCAA, where a coach can have a million dollar contract, a shoe deal, an apparel deal, a radio gig, a tv gig, copyright his image, and even have little catchphrases which he copyrights and gets royalties from, but hell hath no fury than the NCAA if the player who is putting his life on the line every game so much as get a job at a car wash, or sells his own shirt for a few dollars.

      Meh, too overpriced for Gainesville.
    • John  •  Ottawa, Ohio  •  3 months ago

        thats the best idea ive heard in a long time

      Actually, that's a caged pool....standard fare for most upscale Florida homes. Anyone who can call this home ugly needs an appointment with an optometrist. although a Buckeye fan, the Gator logo will undoubtedly be a selling point in the Gainesville area.

        That house looks like any other home in suburban Fla. It is ugly.

      Urban is a #$%$ who only goes where others have recruited. He hasnt put a winning program together yet , which has all his own recruits. He lies and steals from one University to the next. Staying just one step ahead of the NCAA police
      • mark 2 months ago
        Ya I guess bringing in Percy harvin, Tim tebow, Brandon spikes, the pounce brothers, Hernandez, Jenkins, and the rest of the players he brought in doesn't count as recruiting!?!? How many hold overs were there in 08 when he won his second title? Idiot
      • Ralph 2 months ago
        How did he win at Bowling Green and Utah when his predessors couldn't?
      • Pastor88 2 months ago
        @Mark, Hey IDIOT, read what I wrote. He never had a full squad of his own recruits. Period.
        At Utah he walked into a great recruiting job that McBride completed. same at Bowling green where athletic directors wanted to make a statement.
        As soon as McBrides recruits were gone, and after getting a new contract and Lying to Utahns about his love and no place held and candle to the Utah position and he failed as a recruiter. 2 weeks later he was gone to Florida. He is a liar and a poor recruiter. Period. He akin to Phil Jackson after losing Jordan. He couldn't win so retired until he saw a winning team. Not One that he developed.

      i'd like to buy it but am about $1.5 million short. i mean i'd really really like to have it.

      LOVE the outside. But the inside isn't even one tenth of one percent appealing to me. Not because I'm a Buckeye (and he's OURS now) but because it just doesn't measure up to the exterior. Disappointing. Weird layout.
    • 48 Fanatico!  •  2 months ago
      Ugly house.
    • Anthony Snyder  •  Columbus, Ohio  •  3 months ago
      You could put that entire house inside his freakin mansion in Upper Arlington, Ohio...
    • Richard  •  3 months ago
      It has a sectional coach? Wow.
    • Prince Clairvoyance  •  3 months ago
      Gainesville is a humid, steaming, bug-infested, rat-hole. It's pleasant 2 months out of the year, max. In Columbus, he'll probably get about 5 pleasant months.
    • Jim Trashel  •  3 months ago
      I'm sure the property value's in that neighborhood will go up now that Urbum Liar's moved. One less rat in the city of Gainesville.

      That's not an indoor pool.
