For Health Reasons,That was wayy random

Not when it's due to health reasons...
WOW! Hopefully everything will be ok with him. He's still a member of the Ute family so this is very shocking.
what the ? This is the most random stuff I have heard all season? Is it heart problems?
This was a shock to read!
I hope he's going to be OK.
I'm sure this was a very difficult decision for him, as he still had so much more he could've done in college football. But I'm glad he recognizes what's important in life.
Crazy. Hope Urban can get back to coaching someday.
Apparently he's suffered extreme pain as a result of a brain cyst, and says he's ignored his health for years...hopefully it's nothing serious. They say he's not in the hospital and isn't suffering any immediate health issues. He's planning an official press conference tomorrow. Hope he gets well soon.
Makes sense, his gravy train at Florida is over. He'll take a year off and then it's on to the NFL.
Crazy... so, what is the trickle down effect through the coaching ranks?
Bob Stoops? Pete Carroll? Butch Davis? Gary Patterson?
Brian Kelly must be kicking himself.
Very true... I should think, along similar lines, that Patterson is the hot name for the Florida HC gig. Butch Davis is a dark horse. It were his recruits at Miami that went to back-to-back le games, winning in 2000. He can obviously recruit Florida.
Patterson just signed a huge extention.
With, I would assume, has a list of schools in an Exit Clause... I'm sure all the big name ins utions are on that list. Not saying he is a candidate, but, like I said, Patterson doesn't have to go to Florida. There's a trickle down effect in most cases... Say Bob Stoops goes to Florida... Why wouldn't Patterson want the Oklahoma job? Why wouldn't OK want Patterson?
Well thanks dr dmx for the medical
explanation
I'm gonna throw this one out there - in a year or two, Bill Belichick will retire and Urban Meyer will be there to step in as HC of the Patriots.
Thank god...I'm sick of seeing the Patriots on top.
I first heard news of his resignation via a text. No info other than "Urban Meyer Resigns" so my first thought was an NFL head coaching gig, possibly to Jacksonville where they've openly discussed drafting Tebow with their 1st-round pick.
I guess news is out that Meyer will remain at Florida in some non-coaching capacity. I don't doubt that he's eventually going to go to the pros.
How weak is the SEC now, though? Tennessee might become Alabama's only challenge in a year or two in that conference.
Interesting. I hadn't heard that part.
I DID just see this though...
A Florida football staffer told the Orlando Sentinel Saturday that Meyer was in fact hospitalized "at least twice" this month with nausea, chest pain, and sickness.
Carroll leave USC? I can't imagine that ever happening.
I don't know his story though. Maybe FL is a dream job.
I guess it's a good thing ND and Meyer didn't really talk.Can you imagine the fallout there?
Florida will get someone. I would have to think Butch Davis would jump at the chance to coach a Florida school once again. Higher level of talent, better depth... Greater expectations, but he coached at Miami, so, that should be handled well enough.
Only reason I mention Carroll is the current climate surrounding USC athletics. Lots of minor to major infractions. He may be the cause. He may not. He may be tired of it and want a change of scenery without really leaving behind recruiting advantages/National Championship status year in, year out. Florida would provide that better than any other place. I doubt it happens, but the situation makes his name worth a mention. As much so as Stoops' mention...
Miami might still be up there with the rest of the le contenders if Davis is stil there. Coker took Davis' players.
