GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Florida football coach Urban Meyer is stepping down after the Gators appearance in the Outback Bowl.

Meyer led Florida to two national titles but began to show the strain of his high-profile job last season when he briefly quit but then returned to the team.

In a statement released by the university Wednesday, Meyer says "it is time to put my focus on my family and life away from the field."

He says the decision to resign was "a difficult one."

As great as he was, the decision to standby his OC (Steve Addasio) revealed burnout in a major way.

Any early guesses on his replacement?

Cam Newton could be a player/coach at UF...

Doesn't pay enough....

Mullen would be a good choice in the eyes of Florida Alums since he was there as offensive coordinator.

rumors are he's also looking at going to Miami. I'm sure he'd rather stay in the SEC. He's got more chances at having a championship scene at Florida than in the state of Mississippi.

Any early guesses on his replacement?

Doug Dickey? Steve Spurrier?

Doug Dickey? Steve Spurrier?

Gene Chizik? (he played at Florida and still has ties there).



I wonder if Spurrier would go back? I don't think so. maybe he will. I'm betting that he'll retire while at SC. he like that green jacket from that nearby golf course.

 

[Scott L]

Spurrier? You guys in the eggnog? Too old for that demanding job. I tell you what UM really did not like was all the booster club crap. Send an assistant for that stuff. Why burnout a coach criss-crossing the state for such purposes?

 

[Scott L]

Chris Petersen is probably tops on my list. Flawless execution...
