College Football News: Florida Gators Coach Urban Meyer Resigns, Cites Health Reasons for Decision

Florida Gators head coach Urban Meyer has announced he will be stepping down after his team faces the Cincinnati Bearcats in the Allstate Sugar Bowl, saying concerns about his health forced him to make the sudden decision.

During Meyer’s five seasons at Florida the Gators posted a 56-10 record and won two national championships. Florida just missed a shot at another national title this year but fell to the Alabama Crimson Tide in the SEC championship game. It was after that game that Meyer was admitted to a hospital due to chest pains.

While Meyer has not disclosed any information regarding that episode he did say that he consulted with doctors as well as his family and Florida president Bernie Machen before making his decision to resign.

Meyer released a statement which read, “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. I have ignored my health for years, but recent developments have forced me to reevaluate my priorities of faith and family.”
