After a Fiesta, Meyer and Harris say goodbye.(The Orlando Sentinel)
Byline: Rick Maese
TEMPE, Ariz. _ For a final time, Urban Meyer will slip on a polo shirt with a Utah Utes logo on Saturday. Across the field at Sun Devil Stadium, Walt Harris will pace the sideline wearing Pittsburgh Panthers colors for the final time.
The Fiesta Bowl kicks off Saturday night under highly unusual circumstances: Both teams' coaches already have agreed to coach at different schools next season.
Meyer will take over Florida, and Harris is headed to Stanford. There is no official record-keeping of such trivia, but it is thought to be the first time both schools in a bowl game featured lame-duck coaches.
"I thought about that the other day," Meyer said. "It is kind of weird, isn't it?"
Each coach's chief task during the past several weeks has been to strip away as much weirdness as possible.
"I had a chance to talk to the players about that," Harris said, "and we only had to talk about it one time. And that's the last time. . . . The only thing that matters now is our players. They're the ones that got us here, and they're all the ones who are going to finish the job."
