[tech fan]

[tech fan]

[tech fan]

not joking guys its true,hope its not a health problem

[KJ1000]

it said it was health related at the bottom of the ticker

[KJ1000]

wow...hope this does not come out to be something else like tiger

[MarkLemke]

i really did figure he would leave after tebow left, but i did not anticipate him leaving this way at all...

[tech fan]

wow 30 minutes since word got out and only 44 views here and only 3 people in the thread talking about it boy this will change tomorrow lol

[tech fan]

just read where it said someone from Kevin HARVICKS nascar crew died from H1n1 remember he suffered dehydration issues after the sec championship loss to alabama

[tech fan]

who will replace meyer


i say
bobby petrino
bob stoops


what about steve spurrier

[baseballdave]

can't believe that he would go to nfl. meyer is a hardworking coach and just heard on espn radio that it is strictly to get his health better and get his family back. he meet with his team and he says he is going no where. he is not resigning to go anywhere else. i hope he is not lying because that would disgrace what he has done.
i believe that he is being honest and needs to get away for some time. coaching in college requires 100 hour work weeks and never having much time with your family. i know from experience that high school football is the hardest sport to coach in high school because of the hours involved and college requires far more hours and time.

as far as the sugar bowl - bet big time on florida. they will not let urban go out without a big win. i just bet them at 12 1/2 and i think it will go up over 14 easy by game time.

i agree. he needs a break and i don't see him coaching next year or maybe for a few years. i'm telling you, football is by far the hardest sport to coach and most of it isn't the x's and o's. its the other stuff like recruiting, scouting, daily workouts, etc. in high school it is a 10-12 hour a day job, even in the summer and college is worse. i have quite a few friends who coach college and they have very little family life at all. the bigger the program, the more hours and headaches there are.

if he is doing it for these reasons, i admire him and wish him the best and the best for his family. according to espn, one of his kids said that they get their "daddy back." if that is true, i say more power to urban meyer. he has been babysitting other peoples kids, now its time to be with his own. i'm happy for him and them

Pride in your family has to come before pride in self rewards.IMO a doctor told him he would be dead in 10 years if he kept the lifestyle of stress/coaching up and he chose his family.I tip my UT hat to him and have alot of respect for him "if" thats the reason

[***THA FIX***]

Well Auburn will need a coach soon, mabe he'll be back then!!!
