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.

HERE I COME TO SAAAVE THE DAAAAYYY!

GO Tigers...LSU BEAT PSU. It sounds like it already happened, but we'll have to wait and see about that.
I certainly think we will have no trouble with em.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

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.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

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

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

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.

Texas Didn't Give Up; They Made A Game Of It! Colt McCoy Is A Class Act, Too. Good Luck To Him In The NFL! Roll, Tide!:banger

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

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.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Thanks, Brother: I Feel It Was Destiny This Year For BAMA!:tu

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

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.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

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

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

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!

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

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

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

13 National Championships

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

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

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

ESPN doesn't count any games before 1930.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Feels good men! Feels real good. Been a long, hard season, and arguably the best in Alabama history....

SEC Champs -- check
National Champs -- check
Undefeated Season--check
First Heisman Winner--check
Butkus Award Winner--check
Six All-Americans --check
First win against Texas--check

Gonna be a long time till September gets here so I think I'll relish this one a while. Enjoyed the camaraderie with you fine folks this year, certainly made the season more enjoyable for me.

Roll Tide :tu

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Congrats to the Bama fans!!! What a great and well deserved season!!

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
