CUM knew the run was over: One National Championship on the shoulders of Zook's recruits and one on the shoulders of Tebow. Not to minimize any health issues, but can you blame him for stepping down knowing that the tide is rising in the SEC?

If there is any truth to this he is twice the pe**erhead I thought he was.

So what is the logic for Meyer winning at Utah? It would have to be incredibly hard to recruit there, yet he pulls Alex Smith et al and goes undefeated, which in turn, lined him up for the Florida job.

I am not a Meyer fan, just think the line that he can only win with Tebow is pretty weak.

And now we will never know how would have fared for the long term in the SEC. I am not saying he is a bad coach, just that the wave he has been riding has crested. In fact it is apparent that he is a very good coach, but the field, especially where Alabama and Tennessee had been down, is catching up to him

Ummm .... your forgetting one thing...... CUM can coach. That wasn't Zook's spread offense and that wasn't Zook's defensive scheming in the big games. Look, I can't stand CUM as much as the next guy but you gotta give the man his props for motivating his players and having them prepared to play.

If you think Urban Meyer can't coach you are crazy.

One of the best in the business

You better believe I am glad he's gone.

I hope he and his family are well...football's not everything

I am giving him props. I am acknowledging that he is smart enough to know the field is catching up to him and the window of opportunity he has enjoyed is closing. I think its a part of it. ESPN was pretty clear last night at times that his resignation WAS NOT about health issues. Of course I don't know and wish Meyer good health.

Who knows. One thing is for sure though, Meyer definitely knew it would be hard to maintain the type of success they had been having. He probably got out at the right time for him. I'm sure the fans and players would disagree.

i dont care if you call me classeless or not. But I consider him a quitter. I hope he is ok, and lives a good life but bottom line he quit on his team.
You cant tell me UF is more stressful than UT, CPF was like 80 pounds overweight you dont think he had chest pains or anything. He sure as hell didnt quit he went 5 - 7.

i will try to be kind.

1. at the most, you could say he quit on his team for one game.....the Sugar Bowl. a game that hasn't been won or lost yet. he didn't leave in the second week of october. in addition, you are trying to indicate that a man "quit" on his team when that team has gone 12-1 and is ranked in the top 5.

2. different things effect people's health differently. you smoking two packs a day might still live to be 91 years old. someone else smoking two packs a day might be dead and gone at age 53.

do we need to set up guidelines for people as to when, where and how it is acceptable to take another job or leave a job? would he have to have a massive heart attack before he is allowed to leave his job or is following the advice of a doctor and his family good enough?

i certainly do not wish illness on him but it seems clear that this is not the only reason he is leaving. he is about to be brought back down to earth in the sec, anybody can see that. is it also possible that he is freeing himself up to take a shot in the nfl, maybe even as an assistant on tbo's new team? they are so very close it does seem plausible that coach would follow player to the nfl. maybe he already has a deal in the works that lands him as the head coach wherever tbo ends up, maybe he doesn't have to move too far away to do it either. just speculation.

His gimmick offense died a natural death, Meyer was a one trick pony, and his offense in the SEC died once Tebow's elgibility ends. He'll be back someday in the PAC10 or ACC, but he bailed out of the SEC.

I don't think Urban is a quitter. He left his team in good shape. He recruited hard right up until the time he left and Florida has the recruiting classes to prove it. Consider him a quitter if you want but I really wish we had been left in such good shape when we had a coaching change.

LOL at Urban being a quitter.

He's not a quitter. Urban is putting his priorities over football. I admire him for that

One of the best coaches in college football has left the building.

Ding dong the witch is dead

All joking aside, I hope he is well. I won't miss him!
