It comes to no surprise that Urban Meyer decided to step down after the worst season of his career. "At this time in my life, however, I fully grasp the sacrifices my 24/7 profession has demanded of me, and I know it is time to put my focus on my family and life away from the field. The decision to step down was a difficult one," he said in a statement released by the school Wednesday. "But, after spending more than two decades motivating and celebrating the young men I've been so proud to coach, I relish the opportunity to cheer for my three terrific kids as they compete in their own respective sports."
"The world of college football
will miss Urban," Seattle Seahawks
coach Pete Carroll said on a conference call. "He did a great job coaching
at Florida. He had major personal issues and health issues a year ago, and I'm
sure that he did everything he could to fight it off. Now he's making decisions
that are probably exactly what he needs to be doing. ... He brought a lot of
excitement to Florida football, the SEC and all that. Everybody's going to miss
him."
