Urban Meyer stepping down at Florida
« on: December 08, 2010, 01:39:56 PM »
Yes, this is a new story, not just a repeat from a year ago:

Quote
Urban Meyer is stepping down as football coach at Florida, the school's athletic director announced Wednesday.

"I fully grasp the sacrifices my 24/7 profession has demanded of me, and I know it is time to put my focus on my family and life away from the field," Meyer said.

"I will profoundly miss coming to campus every day to coach this team, but I will always be a Gator at heart," he said.

A news conference was scheduled for 6 p.m. ET on Wednesday.

Meyer will coach his last game for Florida in the Outback Bowl against Penn State on January 1st in Tampa.

The Gators, who won two national championships and two Southeastern Conference titles under Meyer, had a disappointing season in 2010, going 7-5 (4-4 SEC).

A three-time national coach of the year, Meyer posted a 64-15 record in six seasons at Florida. He also coached at Utah and Bowling Green.

A bigger chain reaction now that it isn't just Miami that's opened up.

Saw this on ESPN earlier.

Have to wonder if his health problems from a year ago, have resurfaced and he just doesn't want to use his health as a reason for resigning to try to keep people from snooping around.

I think he was having heart problems that were supposedly stress related.

Just hand over the chocolate...back away slowly...far away....and you won't get hurt....

Save the Earth... it's the only planet with chocolate.

A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.
