Urban Meyer stepping down as head coach at Fla.

[HognotinMemphis]

I guess post-Tebow is not attractive to Urban.

[ErieHog]

...just mentioned during the Meinike Car Care Bowl.

This qualifies as a WTH moment.

[hoginla]

What gives?

[Boarcephus]

Just announced during the game.

[aporkalypse now]

wow, you are fast

[Razorbacks#1]

Just heard on the TV

[The Great Hambino]

hes going to the nfl

[Éireannach Collach]

Heard it as well. Weird

[ARF]

WOW! wonder what brought this on?

[Hawgndaaz]

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4772952

for health reasons??? must be pretty serious.

[The Great Hambino]

he is sick

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4772952

[ErieHog]

Health and family cited.

Let's hope it's not a Tiger situation, where he's hoping to avoid his wife putting him in the hospital for screwing around on the side.

[Razorbacks#1]

I see alot of folks are watching the football game.

[The Great Hambino]

and Houston Nutt's agent lights up the phone....

[hogdiggity]

Maybe he just can't bear to coach any more without St. Tebow

[WhenPigsFly]

Timing might indicate he got some really serious medical news.

[aporkalypse now]

I hope he is OK. God bless him and his family.

[hoginla]

Prayers for the Meyer family to recover from whatever health issues are at hand.

[athunt]

Best of luck to Urban!

But Florida AD, STAY AWAY FROM BOBBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Razorbacks#1]

Best of luck to Urban!

But Florida AD, STAY AWAY FROM BOBBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No doubt!

[hoggin]

and now they look to who?....
Petrino?

[JONAS]

Best of luck to Urban!

But Florida AD, STAY AWAY FROM BOBBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sure hope they stay away for Petrino.  I guess if he goes, we can hire Gus.

[JBucc]

I can't imagine leaving now unless it's something very serious.

[PorcineSublime]

To those who got merged, sorry. It was taking up half the front page. This is really weird timing. Must be health issues or family (read wife) issues. God bless him and his family.

[Jagdragon]

I hope he is OK. God bless him and his family.

This

[The Hog]

Says it is not severe health problems.

[ThisTeetsTaken]

What if he's only saying it's health issues?   I bet he turns up somewhere else in 2011.   Done all he can at Florida.  It would only be downhill from here. 

[athunt]

I feel bad for Charlie Strong, once again, he gets the shaft.

[tiber]

Houston Nutt has announced that despite Florida's advances, he is not interested in the position and is very happy at Ole Miss.

[nebhog70]

Is HC BP interested in the UF job?

[Me_So_Hoggy]

I can only imagine the stress related with a job like that.  Must have caught up with him. 

[missippihog]

Friend says its no immediate health concern?

[hognc2010]

I think they will look at the Boise State headcoach

[grayhawg]

Keep the gators away from CBP.

[El Puerco]

Friend says its no immediate health concern?

Lots of horrible things aren't an "immediate" health concern

[alohawg]

This has to be a serious health problem, it makes no sense otherwise.

[tiber]

I think they will look at the Boise State headcoach

Now there is an impressive coach.  Seriously.  Character guy as well.

[Jagdragon]

I respect Coach Meyers...did a great job at Utah and of course at Florida.


..Coach Patrino, don't even think about it!

[56Hog]

Best of luck to Urban!

But Florida AD, STAY AWAY FROM BOBBY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Foley's arguably the best AD in the business.  He'd be a fool not to go after Bobby.  This could be the most interdesting week for an Arkansas coach since the night Woody punched one of Ford's Clempsun Tigers.

[SpineHog]

get their recruits on the phone.  mcghee, do your thing.

[PoormansRobbyHampton]

Jimmy Sexton is on the phone with their AD Foley as we speak no doubt.

[Greyhands]

Hope he gets well

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

It will be interesting to see who they go after.  I would think either Mullen or Strong would get a good look if they were still on staff.  I could see them making a run at Mullen even though he has only been at MSU for a year.  It would also be an understandable move for him where he would not catch too much flack.  Noone would fault the jump from Starkville to Gainesville.  There is no need to change direction in terms of philosophy at Florida since it appears to be working well.  If they go with a brand new coach it may be a step or two back before moving forward.

I bet Strong is doing his best Florida Evans right now.

[heathtits]

Well the time has arrived. Sooner than most thought. Time to test BPs loyalty.

I'd be shocked if BP wasn't in their top 3-4.

[Jagdragon]

get their recruits on the phone.  mcghee, do your thing.

*Great point!

[56Hog]

Jimmy Sexton is on the phone with their AD Foley as we speak no doubt.

Yeah, begging him not to publically laugh at any rumors floated out of Oxford.

[JBucc]

Don't know if it's accurate but I'm hearing that he's had a cyst on his brain for a while that has given him trouble with migraines, etc.

[cunetguru]

Sounds like it could just be that he needs to spend time with his family and not work 20 hrs a day? If so, kudos to him for putting priorities in order...at least he can afford to. If it's health, then best to him and his family.

[hvsupastar]

Sign bob pertino to a real expensive extension

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Foley's arguably the best AD in the business.  He'd be a fool not to go after Bobby.  This could be the most interdesting week for an Arkansas coach since the night Woody punched one of Ford's Clempsun Tigers.

I will bet $100 that BP is not contacted about this job.
