When did that happen?

I remember the big hullabaloo when Urban Meyer resigned for health reasons from Florida. As I was reading through some blurbs about pre-season college rankings, the one on Florida mentioned him as the coach.

Huh?

Some quick searching revealed that his assistants convinced him to “un-resign” and take a leave-of-absence instead. Since then, he found out he had a crappy diet and he’s been spending more time with his family. He’s fixed the diet thing and he’s back from the leave. Apparently, his family time is also a permanent fix as well.

Of course, this is all well and good. I’m just wondering how the heck I whiffed on this particular news in the first place.

UPDATE: While on the subject, good for Nick Saban and Urban Meyer for telling agents and scouts to take a hike for the time being. If their kids can’t be disciplined enough to stay away and the agents, particularly, won’t practice some decency and stay away, then this is a good step. At least they’re sending the message to their players that they really do need to think twice about contact with agents. Especially considering the penalties that the program can face as a result of violations.
