The team reported back to school today for practice. My thought would be that he talked to the team before making the announcement. I was watching the Pitt/North Carolina game with my daughter when they made the announcement and once I was able to breathe again, my first words were "In all kinds of weather, we all stick together..." and she said, "that's right, Mom"!! My prayers are going strong for Urban tonight and I'll tell you someone else who is probably praying very hard for his coach...Tim Tebow.

As a player's coach, I would think Urban would want to tell the team personally before a public announcement was made. I doubt the players could keep something like that quiet for very long, so having already told them before they left for break is unlikely. I wonder why it had to be done this way? Thoughts? Urban states he will remain in Mecca and still be involved with UF. I wonder in what capacity? I pray for his health. He seems to be a man of character, tremendous heart, and faith - that goes a long way in recovery of many illnesses. I hope Foley can once again work his magic. He has his work cut out for him. Current recruits will fly away quickly, as well as assistant coaches, if a new head coach isn't found very soon. And yeah, I am still in dazed shock.
