Meyer, 46, informed Florida Athletic Director Jeremy Foley over the weekend that he was contemplating resigning and the two finalized the plan Tuesday. Meyer told the Gators of his decision during a team meeting earlier this afternoon. UF has scheduled a press conference for 6 p.m. at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium where Meyer and Foley will address the media.
Meyer will remain Florida’s head coach through the Outback Bowl in Tampa on New Year’s Day.
“I have been a Division I football coach for the last 25 years and, during that time, my primary focus has been helping my teams win titles,” Meyer said. “I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, and I am a fierce competitor to my core. At this time in my life, however, I appreciate 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. The decision to step down was a difficult one.
“But after spending more than two decades motivating and celebrating the young men I’ve been so proud to coach, I relish the opportunity to cheer for my three terrific kids as they compete in their own respective sports. I know how fortunate I am to be in a position to make this choice and to have a family that is as loving and supportive as my amazing wife and children have always been.”

Looks like a done deal.

Read two posts down.
Then read where I was the first one to say it WAS true.
And read where I said earlier in the season I hoped he would step down.
I'm happy.

His heart wasn't in it this year for sure. I think it's a good move for us and him.

WOLF! WOLF! Surely, he wouldnt do it again. Either way. More than just State fans are nervous now.. Would rather have Dan at State than Florida.. Better hope the ink is dry at MSU. Mullen equals no threat at MSU.. at Florida not so sure.

He's only stepping down because he knows that Cam's strip mall attorney is coming to roast his arse for leaking student records.
