Honoring Earl 34 · 12-26-2009

Urban Myers is stepping down is what their saying during the Pitt and NC game .

barrett · 12-26-2009

i just heard that as well. I wonder if it's because of something inappropriate or if he's headed to the NFL. (which would be a mistake in my opinion)

barrett · 12-26-2009

health related.

Better to jump ship than watch it sink. Got 2 titles, Tebow is gone....what's next? NFL.

Yup, told the team he has a heart problem.

Quote:

In response to the shocking news that Florida coach Urban Meyer will be resigning as the team's head coach for health reasons, an NFL source tells us that Meyer has informed the team that he has a heart problem.

Making the development even more surprising is the fact that Meyer is only 45, and by all appearances he is in good health.

TexansSeminole · 12-26-2009

I feel really bad for him. I hope he is going to be alright.

J_R · 12-26-2009

Reportedly had a heart attack this season that no one knew about.

He's been a huge success with the Florida program. His health should come first. He can walk away and say he did a great job.

That'll be a huge job for somebody.

Okay, I feel like an a-hole now. Seriously, I hope his health issues arn't serious.

Doesn't take long. From Rivals

OUT: Urban Meyer. Resigned Dec. 26 after going 56-10 in five seasons.

POSSIBLE CANDIDATES: Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen, TCU coach Gary Patterson, Boise State coach Chris Petersen, former Denver Broncos coach Mike Shanahan, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, Louisville coach Charlie Strong, Houston coach Kevin Sumlin, Utah coach Kyle Whittingham

If they are going to interview anyone with a bowl game to play, I REALLY hope they wait until after the games. The whole Notre Dame / Brian Kelly made me sick to my stomach. Those kids at Cincinnati deserved better.

J_R · 12-26-2009

^^^I think they will. UM is still suppose to coach their bowl game.

kastofsna · 12-26-2009

pretty crazy situation.

also, this is easily the most coveted open coaching position in sports right now.

mariowillshine15 · 12-26-2009

Id love to see Boise State coach Chris Petersen get it. Seems like a great guy and has been nearly flawless at Boise.

Id like to see his offense with those super athletes in Florida.

euro-Texan · 12-27-2009

Screw that. I hope they take that fat ass Notre Dame just fired. ROLL TIDE!

Yep...it would be a great fit, reminiscent of the fun-and-gun Spurrier days.

The talent they have on the team already combined with recent tradition combined with an amazing recruiting base combined with the slipping of Florida State the past few years combined with elite facilities and budget.

Yeah, I'd say it's the best job available. It's a better job than the ND job.

Meyer rethinking retirement.

Florida coach Urban Meyer, who announced Saturday night that he would step down after coaching the Gators against Cincinnati in the Allstate Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day, is now having second thoughts about retirement, a source close to the situation told ESPN.com on Sunday
