Urban Meyer

Urban Meyer is stepping down as Florida coach -- this time for good. One year after resigning the post and then abruptly changing his mind, Meyer announced his intention to leave college coaching in order to focus on his family and non-football interests. "Sometimes, we make it too complex," Meyer said in his Dec. 8 announcement. "At the end of the day, I'm very convinced that you're going to be judged by how you are as a husband and as a father and not by how many bowl games you've won." Meyer led the Gators to national championships in 2006 and '08, but went just 7-5 during a frustrating 2010 season.
