Meyer to coach final game at Sugar Bowl
Urban Meyer is stepping down as coach of the Florida football team, athletic director Jeremy Foley announced Saturday afternoon in a release.

"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," Meyer, 45, said in statement. "I have ignored my health for years, but recent developments have forced me to reevaluate my priorities of faith and family.

"After consulting with my family, Dr. Machen, Jeremy Foley and my doctors, I believe it is in my best interest to step aside and focus on my health and family."

Meyer will coach his last game for Florida against Cincinnati on Jan. 1 at the Sugar Bowl.

"Coach Meyer and I have talked this through and I realize how hard this was for him to reach this decision," Foley said in a statement. "But, the bottom line is that Coach Meyer needed to make a choice that is in the best interest of his well being and his family. I certainly appreciate what he has meant to the University of Florida, our football program and the Gator Nation. I have never seen anyone more committed to his players, his family and his program. Above all, I appreciate our friendship."

Meyer helped the Gators win two national titles in five years at Florida. He is the only coach to win two BCS titles.

A three-time national coach of the year, Meyer is 95-18 in nine seasons. Meyer's five-year record at Florida is 56-10, including a school-record stretch of 22 straight consecutive wins, the fourth longest streak by an SEC team and the longest in the conference in 15 years.

Meyer, 45, holds a 32-8 mark in SEC play at Florida, which is the top career SEC winning percentage among head coaches who spent five years or more in the conference.

Meyer came to Florida from Utah, where he closed out his stint with 16 consecutive wins. He began his head coaching career at Bowling Green in 2001, where he engineered the top turnaround in NCAA Division I-A football, showing a six-win improvement from the previous season. The Falcons rebounded from a 2-9 record with their first winning season (8-3) since 1994.

I certainly think we will have no trouble with em.

I hear the UF gators are not too happy about being in New Orleans for the Sugar Bowl.
Shows you how far the bowl traditions have fallen since the BCS ruined everything.
Granted, I am from New Orleans, but the Sugar Bowl used to be a big deal.
My Impressions as a young man were likely:
Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, Sugar bowl, Cotton Bowl, Gator Bowl and the rest. The Fiesta Bowl wasn't even established.
Now a team can be so caught up in what should have been, that they are 'bummed out' about going to the Sugar Bowl.

[longknocker]

I Still Think Fl. Will Win The Sugar Bowl, Though; It Being Tebow's Last Game At Florida!:tu

2 of 3 of the SEC's crazy coachs have made us look bad so far, being Miles and Kiffin.

Hopefully the remaining nut case (i think that's a clever pun) will pull one out against Oklahoma State.

Wanted to tell yinz that my oldest daughter Theresa just sent a cool email from Los Angeles.
She was sending the message while in a police escort from her hotel in Newport Beach to the Rose Bowl. She will be typing the press box play-by-play for tonight's epic game. And Theresa said Alabama will win.

[ir13]

What a game, it looked to be over but the performace of the rookie quarterback was outstanding and I hope he does well, but when push came to shove the Tide showed them who was the boss.


Congrats Alabama, was a awesome season.

No problem, Im hoping they have a back to back run in 2010, but im hoping my Gamecocks get thier act together and challenge for the East as well this year.

Only time will tell.

[icehog3]

Congrats to all the 'Bama fans, and all the SEC fans! :tu

[Powers]

Great job Bama! Congrats on ur 8th national title :dance:

McCoy couldn't stand one real SEC hit ;s

My favorite play of the game was Bama's defensive lineman #57 who stiff-armed the she-ight out of Gilbert on his way to a touchdown :r


SEC has one four national titles in a row!

Hey Longhorns!
Hey Longhorns!
Hey Longhorns!
We just beat the hell out of you!
Rammer Jammer, Yellowhammer, give 'em hell, Alabama!



:wnr

[Navydoc]

With Penn State and Florida both on the regular schedule next year for Bama it should be an exciting season. I can't wait.

[Tombstone]

Great job Bama! Congrats on ur 8th national title :dance:



13 National Championships

[Powers]

13 National Championships

According to ESPN "This one gives Alabama eight since the polls began in the 1930s." so i guess 13 total

[Tombstone]

ESPN doesn't count any games before 1930.

[rizzle]

Another BOTL is wondering why fans of SEC schools root for the whole conference. Some of u have already done this but lets rally to the defense of the SEC!!!

Three reasons.
1. It's called respecting your rivals.

2. It's because the SEC is the best college football conference as proven by the number of national championships SEC teams have won.

3. It's because we're tired of always having USC shoved to the top by the sports media because it's the glamour program and we're tired of always having freaking Notre Dame on the TV every weekend. Notre (when did we last have a winning season) Dame football is not a powerhouse.

He's even a bigger sleeze bag than Florida fans thought. Even you Tennessee fans have to agree know

Great article by Pat Forde about the piece of sh*t that is Lane Kiffin:

Favorite quote: "Kiffin is a guy who was born on 3rd base and acts like he hit a triple"

Recruiting classes are in and you guessed it, the SEC fared the best.
According to Rivals:

3 SEC teams in top 5 (Florida #2, Auburn #4, Bama #5)

5 SEC teams in top 10 (above plus LSU #6, Tennessee #9)

8 SEC teams in top 25 (Georgia #16, Ole Miss #17, USC #25)

I'm already stoked for another season of SEC football!
