Urban Update - Meyer Now Considering Return After Leave of Absence

Urban Meyer is now back-pedaling on the announcement made yesterday that he was retiring from the Florida Gators. The word now out of Gainsville is that Urban will take an indefinite leave of absence and then return to the head coaching position. Nobody has indicated how long of a leave Urban will take, but expect it to be at least one full season.

What this of course means is that the Florida boosters rallied last night and put together a massive incentive package for Urban to return to the Gators. He's obviously a great coach, but he seemed pretty set in his statements yesterday - so the sum they offered him must be pretty substantial. I imagine they put together a bonus package up front, incentives to return, probably a nice raise, and some other sweet add-ons.

Urban is schedule to make statements regarding his status with the Gators at 4:30 pm EST. If Urban isn't coming back, Mark Mangino is always available and has been dying to get a job at a southern school so he has easier access to deep fried foods.
