Urban Meyer delivered shocking news tonight with the announcement that he is leaving his job as head coach of the Florida Gators football team. Speculation has centered around possible health issues as a cause for his departure.
Meyer worked as hard and tirelessly as any coach I’ve known in recent college football history. Meyer’s drive and determination helped him direct Florida to BCS national championships in 2006 and ’08 and Utah to an undefeated season in 2004.
Then on Saturday night, Meyer delivered even more shocking news: He will step down as Florida’s coach.
“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 released by the school. “I have ignored my health for years, but recent developments have forced me to reevaluate my priorities of faith and family.”
