ESPN 2009: meyer statement: 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 a statement. "I have ignored my health for years, but recent developments have forced me to reevaluate my priorities of faith and family."

He told The Times his daughter Nicki, 18, hugged him and said, "I get my daddy back."


Trash.

Jan. 22nd, 2010...

Florida Gators coach, Urban Meyer, the man who retired, and then un-retired soon after, has pulled the ultimate recruiting strategy: a epiphany from the BIG GUY upstairs, seeing him returning to coach the Gators and, more importantly, five-star recruit Sharif Floyd.

If this seems impossible to believe allow me to quote this story from one of Floyd's High School coaches:

"Sharrif was really confused and put a call into Coach Meyer. When they spoke Coach Meyer told him that he had a ‘dream' the night before, and that Coach Meyer saw himself on the sideline coaching Sharrif. Told him that is was a 'message from God that I should come back and coach, as I guess if it's my time to die, I'd rather die on the sidelines coaching you than anywhere else in the world.'"

"Sharrif talked to us the next day and said Ohio State is great and all, but Coach Meyer said he would DIE for me. That's pretty intense. From that day on Sharrif mainly kept to himself. But that was the turning point in my eyes."
