But I thought he was so worried about not being able to spend time with his family and so wanted to put them first???? This sounds strange, could it just be a ploy to keep these recruits, get them to sign and then resign again?? Makes you wonder!

I think it has to do with the recruits. Afraid they might have a few decommit. Keep them thinking he will be back until they can hire a new coach. Not a bad strategy but might be some very unhappy players if it plays out that way.

Thats what I'm thinking after hearing all the talk about recruits being mad! If this does play out this way it will ruin Florida for awhile, IMHO.

If it does play out this way, I will pretty embarrassed and angry. This would be completely unacceptable and completely unfair to these kids. I really hope this does not happen but I guess anything is possible.

Like you said anything is possible. But I'm just trying to look at all of the situation. Something just doesn't look right about the situation with this development.

While its possible that something fishy could be going on, I find it much more likely Urban is just pulling a Favre. I can understand him taking time off for health issues and then returning to the game in the future.

This is wierd.

Why let the info. out that you are stepping down one day (due to health, and family), and then come back the next with something different.

There is more to this story, as the above posts have metioned, just not sure what it is.

But won't this make Urban and Florida look foolish in some way? Pulling a Farve is a great example.

I just think it will make some of these kids question why the first statement came out and then a second statement less than 24 hours later. If I were being recruited there I would have serious questions.

I agree pulling a Favre might look silly, I just don't think its necessarily a sinister move like some are suggesting

LINK: Urban Meyer to take indefinite leave of absence rather than step down

. . .

Meyer broke the news to the team before their boarded their flight to New Orleans, where they will play Cincinnati in the Sugar Bowl on Friday. Assistant coach Dan McCarney confirmed the news before the team left Gainesville, saying of Meyer, "He walked around the practice field today and knew he made a mistake. We don't know if it's going to be one month, three months or six months, but he's coming back."

Oh well, even if he does come back you got to wonder if he would be truly focused on football. This story is getting weirder by the minute. Sounds like Urban is having some sort of crisis or something. Must just be dawning on him that Tebow can only play one more game. Might be damage control just for the sake of recruiting. Probably leaves right after signing day.

Sources are saying he's going to have surgery and return to coaching after his health improves. He Meyer told the team that he is having a hard time walking away from the players, the program and the University of Florida. He told the players he plans on taking some time away to look after his health, but he couldn't just walk away and leave this team to anyone. As The NY Times reported last night, that in an effort to keep Meyer, UF offered to give him a couple of months of personal time away from coaching. I'm not sure if Addazio is the right guy for the interm coach I would have figured that Dan McCarney would be the name since he's had D1 HC experience but I guess this is the choice Meyer and Foley made until his health can be determined. IMO Meyer won't be back.... kind of like when Alvarez took LOA and later became AD.

This is what she told the news paper about 3 hours before the latest change. It gets stranger and stranger!!!

yeah addressed the team while leaving for NO so I'm sure at the time Urban had "stepped down".....All I can say is WTF? You're either the coach or not.....Dude has MANY phone calls to make when he touches down in Orleans.

I posted something on here last night from a florida board about this all being really about Foley, from a gator. The more this plays out the more it may be true. Didn't this same type thing happen with Billy Donavan?? There is alot more in the works here than whats being told.

Conspiracy Theories abound!
