University of Florida football Head Coach Urba...

UPDATE: Meyer has instead decided to take a “leave of absence.”

Wow, I didn’t see this one coming.

Jeremy Foley, Florida athletics director, issued a release on Saturday stating that Urban Meyer is going to step down:

“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.  I have ignored my health for years, but recent developments have forced me to re-evaluate my priorities of faith and family.”

He’ll still coach the Gators in the Sugar Bowl, then you can stick a fork in him…he’s done.
