From the AP:
Florida coach Urban Meyer is stepping down, giving up one of the premier jobs in college football for the second time.
Meyer called athletic director Jeremy Foley on Saturday to tell him he was contemplating retirement. They met Tuesday to finalize his intentions.
"He's put his heart and soul into college football," Foley told The Associated Press. "He's not sick. This is a totally different situation than a year ago. He just wants to take a step back and spend time with his family. He's totally at peace with his decision."
Spend time with his family or spend time with ex-Gator QB Tim Tebow, now with the Denver Broncos, who just fired their head coach?
You make the call.
