"Urban Meyer is stepping down as coach of the Florida football team, athletics director Jeremy Foley announced Saturday afternoon in a release. "I have given my heart and soul to coaching college football and mentoring young men for the last 24-plus years and I have dedicated most of my waking moments the last five years to the Gator football program," Meyer said in statement. "I have ignored my health for years, but recent developments have forced me to re-evaluate my priorities of faith and family. "After consulting with my family, Dr. Machen, Jeremy Foley and my doctors, I believe it is in my best interest to step aside and focus on my health and family. "I'm proud to be a part of the Gainesville community and the Gator Nation and I plan to remain in Gainesville and involved with the University of Florida. "I'm very appreciative for the opportunity I've had to be a part of a tremendous institution - from Dr. Machen to Jeremy Foley and the entire administrative staff at UF. I'm also very thankful for the chance to work with some of the best assistants in college football and coach some of the best college football players and watch them grow both on and off the field as people. I will cherish the relationships with them the most." Meyer will coach his last game for Florida against Cincinnati on Jan. 1 at the Sugar Bowl. "

maybe he feels like he's accomplished everything he can at the college level

this will be the sportscenter #1 story for the next few weeks

12/26/2009 6:57:41 PM

I heard he had an orgy with a couple freshmen girls and it's about to break the news

12/26/2009 6:58:29 PM

^^^ ESPN said it was unclear if he would in fact coach the Sugar Bowl or not

[Edited on December 26, 2009 at 6:59 PM. Reason : ^]

12/26/2009 6:59:07 PM

in related news, Saban and Kiffin are creaming

12/26/2009 6:59:22 PM

wow, there has to be more to this story

NFL?
Scandal?
Family problems?
Illness?

12/26/2009 6:59:22 PM

his illness is Tebowitis, knows he wont be as good without his golden boy, only downhill from here

12/26/2009 7:01:11 PM

ESPN just said he will step down but remain in Gainesville and help out some at U of F. General consensus is spend more time with family and seems either him or his family has a big health concern.

12/26/2009 7:03:51 PM

Kiffin gave that fucker heartburn, he could see the writing on the wall, stepped aside...

12/26/2009 7:04:41 PM

I heard Urban was with Tiger on Thanksgiving night

SMU just got off the death penalty so the NCAA had to put someone on it and aimed high this time

"Tebowitis"

12/26/2009 7:06:28 PM

maybe he's waiting to take the coaching job at whichever shitty team drafts Tebow...

Urban Meyer, welcome to Oakland.

12/26/2009 7:06:57 PM

This is nuts... I just got a text about it... had no idea.

Jeez...

12/26/2009 7:10:01 PM

wow this is unexpected. any new developments?

12/26/2009 7:11:41 PM

unless he has something major like cancer he is just a pussy.


if by medical he means "I'm tired", then he really doesnt want to imagine life without Tebow

[Edited on December 26, 2009 at 7:14 PM. Reason : d]

12/26/2009 7:12:39 PM

JUST IN TIME FOR BOBBY BOWDEN TO STEP IN

12/26/2009 7:13:45 PM

Shut up JB... this isn't "Meyer is a pussy." There is obviously a good reason... And it's because he's afraid of some redneck program in the hills.

[Edited on December 26, 2009 at 7:16 PM. Reason : hook in the water. will it get a bite?]

12/26/2009 7:16:26 PM

a redneck program in the hills that has more all time wins, more national championships and neither is really close? fuck you and your complete lack of college football knowledge.

Like I said, if its a real medical thing then sure, go ahead, but if its some shit like "fatigue" then hes a pussy. Easiest job in the world is recruiting in Florida, fucker probably leaves the State 3 times a year

[Edited on December 26, 2009 at 7:19 PM. Reason : d]

12/26/2009 7:18:47 PM

because those wins in the past are relevant

12/26/2009 7:19:29 PM

I don't see what UT's all-time record has to do with its geography or redneckness

12/26/2009 7:20:22 PM

NC State basketball is an elite program. One of only 10 or 11 to have two titles. One of only 8 to have titles under more than one coach.

12/26/2009 7:20:33 PM

because obviously he meant redneck program as a bad program, even though 95% of UT's players arent from anywhere near Knoxville, so even if the assumption of it being redneck is correct he has no point (and Gainesville is just as redneck as Knoxville if not more, he would know that if he had ever been to both)... and no one said a word about NC State bball

[Edited on December 26, 2009 at 7:23 PM. Reason : d]

12/26/2009 7:22:38 PM

Historically we're great... that's all.

UT was a great football program once. I can admit to that.

^ haha, I've only drove through Knoxville. Been to Gainesville more than a few times, though I don't like UF one bit.

Jaybee must have forgotten to take his pizza injections today

12/26/2009 7:25:28 PM

I fucked your mother

12/26/2009 7:26:25 PM

It sounded to me like his family was pissed that he spent every waking moment with the florida football program based on a quote said during the UNC game (something like, "we're finally getting our dad back").

12/26/2009 7:26:35 PM

I can't find any pics of Urban hanging out with Tiger

However

12/26/2009 7:26:59 PM

health reasons = broken heart

12/26/2009 7:29:14 PM

he steppin down cause he got all them teeth and no toothbrush

12/26/2009 7:32:33 PM

12-16-2009 Never Forget. Sad Sad Day.

12/26/2009 7:50:38 PM

Wal-Mart is reporting that sales of jean shorts have not been affected.

12/26/2009 7:50:39 PM

ahaha lou holtz

BITCH AND MOAN

12/26/2009 7:51:11 PM

lost in that Lou rant was a mention of the UNC media conspiracy

12/26/2009 7:51:45 PM

and basically said Meyer is making a rushed decision because Alabama beat that ass

12/26/2009 7:52:16 PM

BIG HURT

12/26/2009 7:54:42 PM

fuck get spurrier, he still has some time left in him and he can pick up right where he left off

12/26/2009 7:55:27 PM

hahahha


I dont know how he has medical issues, Tebow has had to have laid his hands on him at some point

12/26/2009 7:55:38 PM

he got AIDS from Tiger Woods. it's about to break

12/26/2009 8:16:56 PM

memories of our former football HC that retired due to.........health problems

"HEART MUSCLE DEFECT"

according to ESPN.

I guess he really is heartbroken that Tebow is gone, lol
