Amazing.

Unfortunately this must mean something pretty serious, or he's got a resume like Tiger about to be exposed

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.

Prayers for UB if he has health issues. Likehim or hate him, he's a hell of a competitor and the game will miss him.

I guess Urban and Tebow are going to pursue that gay marriage

It's known that he has a cyst on his brain. This could be serious. It isn't funny.

Finebaum will have an I-told-you-so article in the next couple of days.

Complete shocker to me. Dan Mullen back to G-ville, maybe?
