Urban Meyer is gone

That's not a typo. Urban Meyer, Florida's head football coach, has resigned. According to ESPN, he's citing health and family as major reasons for this decision. The Palm Beach Post says that the health reason may be an inoperable brain cyst that flares up due to stress.
Whatever the reason, this is not encouraging news for a program who is graduating a senior class that could have 48 wins, losing a large number of top juniors to the NFL draft, losing recruits, and losing coaches such as Charlie Strong and Billy Gonzalez.
Who could step in at Florida? Anything right now is pure speculation. Could we hire back Charlie Strong? What about Bud Foster? Tommy Tuberville, Tony Dungy, Mike Shannahan, maybe Bob Stoops? Could Steve Spurrier come back? Time will tell, but you know what? I'm sure a lot of Gator fans are crying like Tim Tebow.
