Looks like Urban Meyer is finally taking a step back
Coach Urban Meyer was supposed to leave his office and start his leave of absence on Feb. 4, the day after National Signing Day. We all know that didn’t happen. Once defensive coordinator George Edwards bolted for the Buffalo Bills last week, Meyer spent the next eight days firming up a new defensive leader.
Interim coach Steve Addazio was publicly considered the point man on the deal to hire Teryl Austin, but this was very much a Meyer hire. He was heavily involved every step of the way.
After Austin’s hire became official Friday, it appears Meyer has finally begun the detachment process.
Meyer left Addazio and the UF assistants to handle Saturday’s junior day, sort of a UF orientation for about 30 to 40 2011 recruits to tour the football complex and school.
