Urban Meyer once again resigns as Florida's coach

Is this going to be a December tradition?

Multiple sources are reporting that Meyer will officially step down as Florida's coach today - though he will remain for the bowl game.

This happened last year, though due to health reasons, and it appeared Kyle Whittingham was a top choice for the job.

Will he be a candidate again this year?

Let's hire Urban back as OC.

That’s a nice, low stress job for him…and Utah is known for it’s family values…so that’ll help him off the field.

Win/Win!

I can't tell if you're joking.

That’s just not going to happen. And being offensive coordinator is not low-stress.

But far less stress than coaching Florida. :P

I am joking...

…but hey, if he’s interested in my pitch, by all means we’ll take him!

Not shocking, but unfortunate

The guy is so high-strung, it’s a wonder he hasn’t collapsed with a heart attack by now. He has been a phenomenal, PHENOMENAL coach, and I wish him and his family the best.

It will be interesting to see whether he can stay away from coaching. He just seems too driven to me to be able to retire at age 46.

I keep accidentally eating my pets. Maybe I should get something less appetizing, like a cat instead of a Twinkie.

lots of West Coast possibilities

Chip kelly
Chris Petersen
Jim Harbaugh
even Bellotti might also get a call

so might not just Kyle.

if chris petersen was hired at florida most of the sec would embrace him and tell the media what a great job he did at boise

the sec the most corrupt and hyprocritical conference in america. please urban don’t turn into a bitch favre. you are way better than that.

Why do canadians stick together? The same reason why Chris Horodecki turned his body and face around in his first WEC fight. SB Nation's public enemy #1.
