It’s not a good week for coaches who coach or have coached Tim Tebow. Florida Gators head football coach Urban Meyer announced his resignation from the position yesterday afternoon, citing wanting to be there for his family as the main reason. Tim Tebow and Urban Meyer are very close … they were like father and son during Tim’s four years at Florida.

Tim wasn’t on site during the press conference at UF – he was focusing on his duties as a Bronco – but he did release a statement through the team praising coach Meyer and everything he’s done for the University of Florida. “We will both be Gators for the rest of our lives,” Tim said.

And for those of you who are conspiracy theorists… no, Urban Meyer did not step down at Florida so he can become the next head coach of the Denver Broncos. Though, wouldn’t that be something!
