[RobertD63]

Urban Meyer is stepping down as coach of the Florida football team, athletic director Jeremy Foley announced Saturday afternoon in a release.
"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, 45, said in statement. "I have ignored my health for years, but recent developments have forced me to reevaluate my priorities of faith and family.
"After consulting with my family, Dr. Machen, Jeremy Foley and my doctors, I believe it is in my best interest to step aside and focus on my health and family."
Meyer will coach his last game for Florida against Cincinnati on Jan. 1 at the Sugar Bowl.

Wow, that is very surprising. Hopefully he will get his medical issues under control and live a long and happy life with his family.

Now it's a leave of absence. One less deck chair on the coaching shuffleboard, for now.
