Wow. I know that



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.

1. He coaches for my alma mater's rival, but I just hope he's going to be ok.

He checked into a hospital after the SEC championship game-- I wonder if this is related.

2. Well..he is a better man that the coach who quit just before the bowl season to go to another job..

Sorry I do not know enough to remember his name, but if you are a sports fan you probably know the person to whom I am referring...

Just walked away from his team right before a bowl game.

3. Many coaches do that, in order to catch up in recruiting. Signing day is in February.

The coach you're thinking of is Brian Kelly-- went from Cincinatti to Notre Dame.

4. Merry Tebowmas Gators! He's following young Jesus-Tebow to coach him in the NFL..as lovers.
