Urban Meyer looked exhausted, emotionally spent and at times confused. He sounded conflicted. In a rather incredible news conference to explain his decision not to step down as Florida’s football coach but rather take a “leave of absence,” he used terms such as “full speed ahead,” said he expected to coach the 2010 opener and discussed the need to “keep this thing rolling.” Then he’d say something such as, “You put business before God and family, you’ve got a problem.” He’s right about that, you just hope he figures out how. The way he tried to explain himself Sunday revealed a man trying to head in two directions, argue two things, live two lives at once. He sounded like a guy who was still putting business before God and family.
