huskerguy Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 As annoying as all the Tebow talk is/was I think people making all those "Jesus" jokes with him are equally annoying... Especially in a situation like this, this thread is about Urban stepping down and his health I guess I just think there would be a better place to go comment on Tebow and post Jesus jokes. I guess thats just my 2 cents.... Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 It would be nice to see Steve Spurrier go back to Florida. I wish Coach Meyer the best. Quote Link to comment

I think there is a time and a place for good natured joking, but throwing something like that out at this time is classless. I am glad to see that most Husker Board members will take a higher road by wishing Coach Meyer well. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirtsguru Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Try living down here in Gator Country. This entire part of the state is going right about now. Although I don't find anything humorous about Meyer's health, I do chuckle when I look around and my arrogant Gator Fan/Alum neighbors (both sides), are brought back down to earth about the state of their program.

sarge87 Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 Any speculation to who could be the next Florida coach, and if this bombshell means a possible shake up at NU? Come on over to Rumorville.....http://www.huskerboard.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=40412 Quote Link to comment
hack Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 ... in the article brought up his stress headache and possible tumor. BANkMaLJaY4 Quote Link to comment
Nexus Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Whoa....I'm shocked, but I completely understand his need to take care of himself for his family's sake. I've always respected Coach Meyer and I'm sorry to see him step down at such a young age. Let's not forget when Dr. Tom stepped down, he had also mentioned his health as a contributing factor. Being a HC at this level can be daunting, particularly when you're running an elite caliber school. My thoughts are with Meyer and his family and hope someday he'll be able to find his way back to the sideline again. Quote Link to comment

The stress has gotten to him after 5 years(not surprising), and he needs a break. So what, it's not like he should ever have to work another day in his life unless he wanted to. Nobody says that these guys have to do this until they run themselves into a grave. Quote Link to comment
craigsker Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Unlike Steve Spurrier, Urban Meyer coached Florida with a much higher level of class and dignity. While I'm not crazy about any college connected to the state of Florida, this is a shame. Wish him well. Quote Link to comment

Vince from ShamWOW Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Make up your mind already. Do we have another Brett Farve on our hands? Updated: December 27, 2009, 2:13 PM ET Meyer rethinking retirement By Mark Schlabach ESPN.com Florida coach Urban Meyer, who announced Saturday night that he would step down after coaching the Gators against Cincinnati in the Allstate Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day, is now having second thoughts about retirement, a source close to the situation told ESPN.com on Sunday. Under a plan being discussed, Florida offensive coordinator Steve Adazzio would coach the Gators in the Sugar Bowl. Meyer, who cited health concerns as the reason for his retirement, would take a leave of absence and return to the team before the 2010 season. However, a source close to the program told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen that Meyer would take a leave of absence for the entirety of the 2010 season. Adazzio would take over as interim coach for the season. Meyer, who led the Gators to BCS national championships in 2006 and 2008, is scheduled to address media members in New Orleans at 4:30 p.m. Sunday.

WCHusker Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 My guess is that a couple of recruits started wavering & the UF big wigs decided that they needed to put some spin on this to keep them committed. Quote Link to comment
krc1995 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Dude can't handle not being in the NC game and thought he divert the attention back to himself. Quote Link to comment
