winchester21 Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Apparently some kind of health issue described as non life threatening by Chris Mortensen. Wow- This is a show stopper.Could not believe what I was hearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 This has been rumored for a while now, health reason; health of football team. College coaches and politicians are not the folks that I would have my kids look up to for lessons in integerity. If it is truly his health then hope all turns out well.

JL Sargent Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Florida coach Urban Meyer, who was admitted to a hospital because of chest pains following the Southeastern Conference championship game, is stepping down because of health concerns. "There was no heart damage," Meyer told the New York Times, referring to the night he was admitted to the hospital. "But I didn't want there to be a bad day where there were three kids sitting around wondering what to do next. It was the pattern of what I was doing and how I was doing it. It was self-destructive."

winchester21 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Tiger Woods is doing backflips. This should take the heat off him for a day or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IB Slammin Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 No, Urban Farve is back in now. I miss the days when QB's (and the coach) didn't sport skirts or face mask's. Grow a pair, suck it up and play the game as it was intended. "strong enough to stand the strain, man enough to stand the pain". This game is not for everyone. If you can't handle it, don't play or coach. tc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 'Gators quarterback Tim Tampon said he and several of his teammates cried when they found out Meyer was stepping down Saturday' 'In 2005, his first season at Florida, he could barely croak out any words after the Gators lost at Alabama 31-3. His attempts to analyze what happened were useless.' 'After Florida lost to LSU 21-17 in its next game, he choked up as he tried to answer the first question, starting and then stopping for about 20 seconds as he tried to compose himself, leading to references as "Urban Crier." Either one of these guys will make someone a good wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace168516 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Sad news, I was horrified when I found out. I just hope this was not a planned event as Charlie Strong is already on his way out...with Urban leaving and his most likely internal successor already taking another job it is a sad time indeed. Luckily as with all other things, the gator nation will live on. I am sure Florida can pull about anyone they want to into the job...just keeping my fingers crossed that we don't get another short Ron Zook era.
