On Saturday, Urban Meyer announced that he will step down as the head coach of the University of Florida Gators, after discussing the matter with his family.
Meyer had been admitted to the hospital after the SEC title game with chest pains, and has been diagnosed with a heart valve muscle defect.
Meyer will retire after coaching the Gators in the Allstate Sugar Bowl on January 1, 2010. In the 5 years since he took over the Florida program he has accumulated a 95-18 record with 2 National Titles, and 3 National Coach of the Year Awards.

About the author
Kendra, or Headless Mom as she's known around the interwebs, has been a sports fan for as long as she can remember and comes by it honestly. Her grandmother was never far from her tv or radio with the play-by-play on, and her mother seems to prefer sports talk radio to cooking dinner. Kendra loves football the most, but certainly has an opinion about (almost) all sports out there. She loved tennis until her (fake) husband, Boris Becker, retired. Getting cable so she could watch ESPN was the only condition that she had before moving in with her current (and only real) husband, Headless Dad. He is currently a Golf Channel addict. Their three Headless children are currently being brainwashed by their mother to hail all things gridiron. She also writes about her life at The Adventures of the Headless Family.
It makes me so happy when I get my news from DDS. Thanks!
