Apparently Herbstreit talked to Urban who says he has a heart muscle defect that is not immediately life threatening but could be if he didn't slow down and start taking care of himself. I doubt he made the decision lightly.

Lou Holtz had some comments on this tonight and I had to agree. If Urban does not have a life threatening illness (which is what they're saying), perhaps he is just exhausted and burnt out from the season. That's not a good frame of mind to be in when you're making such a huge decision. I wonder if he will sit out a year, get rested and bored, and then end up coaching somewhere else. This reminds me so much of eight years ago when we found out Spurrier was leaving. I feel bad for all the players, recruits and assistant coaches having to now go through so much uncertainty.'
