    GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Tim Tebow is coming back.

    The Florida quarterback told a crowd celebrating the school's latest national title Sunday he wants to lead the Gators to another championship.

    Tebow thrilled the 40,000 fans by saying: "Oh, by the way, let's do it again. I'm coming back."

    In 2007, Tebow became the first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy. In the Gators' 24-14 win over Oklahoma on Thursday night, Tebow completed 18 of 30 passes for 231 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran for 109 yards.

    "Overall, I just felt loyal to this place," Tebow said after the celebration. "I feel like I'm a role model and a lot of times people start things and don't finish them. I didn't want to be like that. I wanted to be loyal to the university. I wanted to finish what I started and play another year."


    Tebow talked to several NFL coaches about his pro prospects -- he said feedback was mixed -- but nothing they told him really swayed his decision. He knew he wanted to stay in Gainesville, and told coach Urban Meyer on Saturday.

    "Some of that stuff is tempting at the next level and everything that goes along with it, especially ending on a great note and ending up with a national championship and moving on from there," Tebow said. "But I love these guys and coach Meyer and this program too much. I feel we can still end on a bang next year."

    Good move by Tebow. Stay another year, refine his technique. TAKE SOME SNAPS FROM UNDER CENTER. He could be a high first rounder next year.

    back to back natl champs, best college play ever, not bad things to have



    besides, one more year can do wonders for his draft stock. He will have to work on his mechancis, and another year can help him

    He has nothing to gain by going in the draft. He can work on his throwing and move up 2 rounds.

    Agreed. He needs to work on his arm if he wants to become a top QB in the NFL

    You can't say that until next year's college season is over - I've heard that Meyer will be using some pro formations next season -- that means Tebow will take snaps under center.

    If he dominates again, he'll most likely be a first rounder. Someone will take a chance on him.

    JFTW! is absolutely right. He'll make a solid fullback. Maybe a team with a questionable QB situation will draft him and run the wildcat on 10% to 20% of the plays. Then, he has value. But as a pro-style passer, Tebow has less value than Rex Grossman
