Urban Meyer walking to the podium as we speak…

- Urban says he is stepping down with the focus being on family…

- Says a visit with Jeremy Foley is how he came to his decision…

- Does not regret coming back this year and that he has the best job…

- Last year was knee jerk reaction and not well thought out… this year he says he is doing what is best for University and best for his family

- Why?… At the end of the day he says he will be judged on what he was like as a husband and father… Talks about how he misses the times he has missed as a father

- Urban says he has talked to some recruits and will talk to more, but says that he will reiterate to them that Florida is Florida and he will do everything full speed up till the bowl game…

- What changed from Post FSU loss? Says you fix the situation at Florida with hard work and the problem is attrition of assistant coaches.

- Says through discussions with family and friends after the FSU loss that this was the best decision…

- Says it is harder to leave because of the year that they had and there is no perfect timing…

- Has met with players and will meet more with them…

- Says he reiterate how great UF has been to him and how much he loves UF…

- Last year he changed his mind because of players and coaches and it was also not a good time for Jeremy Foley…

- Says he did not see the dramatic drop off in the offense this year and there are a multitude of reasons…

- He says the struggles of the season did not impact his decision…

Overall Urban Meyer looked very confident and happy in his decision. I hope everyone that reads this realizes this man made a very good decision if that is what is best for him the University of Florida.
