If you had told me that at the end of the 2010 bowl season, Randy Shannon would be the longest tenured coach at the major Florida schools, I would have looked at you strangely. It is also strange to think that Urban Meyer may be in worse health then Bowden. I mean, if I had to pick a Florida coach resigning for health reasons, I’d go with Bowden. Of course, you may not buy this health reasons thing. But the strange fact is that Bowden wasn’t forced out for health reasons officially, and that is the official reason Meyer is leaving. Weird.

Apparently Meyer had some trouble with blackouts earlier on at Utah and Florida that was blamed on exhaustion. He was taken to the hospital with chest pains after the SEC championship game. Sounds like something is going on health wise that a high stress coaching environment is not going to help.
Unfortunately for Florida, they allready let their DC go.

If Florida wanted to hire Strong as HC, they could do it.

I suppose you are right, although its not as easy.
Florida coach Urban Meyer steps down for health reasons. WTF?!?!?
