Urban Meyer: Just Kidding, I’ll Be Back?

In less than 24 hours, Florida’s Urban Meyer went from “resigned” to “leave of absence”.  Excuse me?  What exactly does that mean?  He’s coming back, he’s not coming  back?   I feel like the college sports world has maybe been “punked” here. First of all, I haven’t seen a confirmed report on exactly what were the health or family issues that initially led to his resignation.  But all of a sudden those things will be ok in a couple of months.  Meyer was quoted as saying that after seeing practice the next morning, he decided to go see his AD and have a “discussion”.




Well, here is my bottom line question.  Is this really fair to his team and to potential Gator recruits?  I mean this year’s recruiting class won’t know who they are playing for until Meyer makes his mind up.  And in today’s competitve college recruiting world, this could spell big trouble for the Gator Nation.

At the end of the day, Coach Meyer sounds like he was trying to do right by his family, then got caught in a “guilt” trip based on his other family.  So who is Urban Meyer doing right by now?  Or is he doing right by anyone?

Opinions are cheap, but I think that he needs to go ahead and make up his mind one way or the other, no man can serve two masters as they say.

    I think Meyer is a Diva. The BCS Championship wasn’t all about him, Tebo and lastly the Florida team so he came up with this nutty announcement to make sure the spotlight was upon him once again.
