A couple of months ago Florida Head Coach Urban Meyer announced that the Sugar Bowl was going to be the last game he would ever coach. He was retiring. His health was bad and he just couldn't do it anymore.
A couple of days after that Meyer announced that he was only taking a leave of absence. That he would sit out this upcoming season. OC Steve Addazio would be the interim coach for the 2010 season in his absence.
Than Florida demolishes Cincinnati amid rumors that Meyer was actively recruiting. Now he is saying that he will back for spring practice? While I'm sure Gator fans are ecstatic to have him back I'm just curious as to what has just happened. How do you go from thinking that your career as a college head coach is over and than less than a month and a half away say you're coming back? I don't know if this was an emotional decision at first, if they got a second opinion and things aren't as bad, or if he just said to hell with it if I die I die. Naturally there have been all kinds of rumors that range from him having had heart problems in the past to using this as a "Lane Kiffen-esque" kind of publicity move for recruiting or even to motivate the team for the Sugar Bowl. Whatever the reason Urban Meyer will be back for this next season.
