A lot of damage done if this happens.

Florida coach Urban Meyer, who announced Saturday night that he would step down after coaching the Gators against Cincinnati in the Allstate Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day, is now having second thoughts about retirement, a source close to the situation told ESPN.com on Sunday.

Under a plan being discussed, Florida offensive coordinator Steve Adazzio would coach the Gators in the Sugar Bowl. Meyer, who cited health concerns as the reason for his retirement, would take a leave of absence and return to the team before the 2010 season.

However, a source close to the program told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen that Meyer would take a leave of absence for the entirety of the 2010 season. Adazzio would take over as interim coach for the season.

Meyer, who led the Gators to BCS national championships in 2006 and 2008, is scheduled to address media members in New Orleans at 4:30 p.m. Sunday.

I actually felt sorry for Urban. I was under the impression he had a terminal disease. That little bastard

He has something...

If you've watched him in games on national TV...I can point to at least twice where he looked like he was going to pass out when the reporters stop him at halftime...

I know there's something wrong, but there were Gator posters saying he had brain cancer. Obviously it's nothing that serious if he plans on coming back.

He's pulling a Coach K.

I don't doubt he's under stress and it may be affecting his health.

Let's look at his stress. His offense is predicated on a superhuman athlete that can take a beating. He's got a pure passer next in line.

He hasn't established a running game outside of the QB driven spread. He has no returning receiving threats, and more than likely losing his underclassmen on the line.

He's losing his DC, and at least 8 defensive starters. His remaining offensive staff, including his right hand man for the last 15 years, has abandoned him.

This team's got a lot of growing pains ahead of them. His all-time winning percentage and ego might have a hard time during this transition. Perfect time for a sabbatical.

It's no secret I'm no fan of Urban Meyer. I find his actions selfish and don't find that he is genuine. There is much in his actions recently to indicate my beliefs in his level of selfishness. I don't know him, and there may be some very legitimate reasons for all this drama, but as a passionate fan of college football and the game, he hasn't gained much respect from me, and I'm sure he could care less.

Good post, I think Meyer is a head case also.
