This is being reported at several places, but the bottom line is that Corch Meyers has had a change of heart:
Urban Meyer has informed his team that he will take an indefinite leave of absence rather than resign from his position as Florida’s coach, according to a source close to the program.
The news comes less than 24 hours after Meyer announced his resignation, citing health concerns.
Florida offensive coordinator Steve Addazio will take over as interim coach during Meyer’s time away from the program, the source said.
Ho-kay. This kind of decision has been made before, but I don’t recall the aftermath being pretty. So much for health concerns, I guess. And they’re still going to make an issue out of this on the recruiting trail.

I guess he called two timeouts in the final minute of his coaching career…
Turns out twenty-four hours of Tim Tebow’s tears can cure anything.
Or maybe Meyer just wanted to see what it would be like to be held up as a virtuous class act for once.

So apparently losing would kill him from stress? Explains his decision to skip next year. It might be a rough one. Also, Ole coach Bobby in Tallahassee only wishes he’d have thought of this first…”You mean I coulda skipped the down years and not had them count against my record? Dadgumit!”

Exactly. His heart condition is going to remain no matter how long a leave of absence he takes. Taking time off does nothing to reduce the chances of him falling over dead during a game.
As the Senator says, these “one foot, one foot out” situations rarely end in success. This will quickly become apparent to the more perceptive of Florida’s recruits. It should now be open season on UF’s recruiting class.

This way, they can keep all (or most) of their recruits … and string them along as Meyer takes another year or two to actually make a decision.

He doesn’t need a year or two to make a decision. It’s obvious he’s already made it.
Pin the 8-4 rebuilding year on Addazio and come back to take over a better team with a senior QB in 2011.

This newest revelation is astonishing. What impact does this have on the FLA program short term? I would think that any juniors who were thinking about the NFL are sure to be gone now. I also anticipate a defection of recruits. How can someone sign if you don’t know who the HC will be down the road, much less immediately, as the types of offenses and defenses run these days are varied and dependent on players with special skill sets? Addazio doesn’t impress as an interim HC. What happens if a top spread option prospect signs and Meyer pulls another flip-flop next year and decides to go for sure? A top recruit just cannot take that chance. Call me crazy but I think this is actually WORSE for the Gayturds than if Meyer just left. Limbo (how low can you go?).

Agreed, Mayor.
And the latest developments are pathetic. He can’t let go, even after his family’s collective sigh of joy thinking they’re getting Daddy back.
He seems to be so driven that, while even penultimate success fails to bring him happiness, with his heart muscles screaming in protest, he still can’t let go of that ultra-stressful lifestyle.
