Urban Meyer is stepping down as football coach at Florida, the school's athletic director announced Wednesday.

"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," Meyer said in a statement.

"I will profoundly miss coming to campus every day to coach this team, but I will always be a Gator at heart."

A news conference was scheduled for 6 p.m. ET on Wednesday.

I guess it’s not so great to be a Florida Gator right about now. Glad we have Jimbo.

Is he sure this time? Is that his final answer?

I hope he consulted Favre on a decision of this magnitude.

I think it boiled down to realizing that after winning two titles at UF, there was nowhere to go but down for Meyer. It happens with coaches who have sudden success at a school. Saban is another one who I suspect will start to feel the same at Bama.

I think combined with the health issues, Meyer just decided it just wasn’t worth it, the mountain had already been climbed.

Now watch the NCAA investigate the Florida program. But of course, Meyer’s timely resignation is nothing more than a COINCIDENCE!!!

Typical Seminole fan, win one game out of the last 6 years and you guys think you dominate northern Florida. Where were you last year?

Does that mean in the near future the teams that will dominate the SEC will be Alabama, Auburn (provided they get out of the Cam Newton scandal) and LSU?

It’s looking more and more that it will be Dan Mullen taking the job.

Ha, typical Carly Simon Gator fan, it's always about you isn't it. I didn't even bring up this year's game. We had our problems and certainly don't dominate anything just yet. It's all a roller coaster of ups and downs, we had a Mt. Everest run through the 90's, paid the piper for most of the 00's, and now with a brand spanking new coaching staff we're riding an upswing again.

Sucks to have to talk about seasons gone by though, doesn't it?

Wow, nothing in my post stated anything about “me” but it is just like seminole to talk shit after the game is played. But hey I am sure with all the shit talking you are doing, you guys must of dominated in the acc championship game. What’s that, you didn’t play in the acc championship game? Why don’t you have more than one winning season before you get cocky kid. Again where were last year, the year before that, that year before that, the year before that. ......you get the picture.
