GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- It's all good. That's Jeremy Foley's story, and he's sticking to it. Foley, the respected and veteran director of athletics at the University of Florida, stood behind a podium Wednesday evening and wanted to assure the Gator Nation that its football program will be fine. The UF job is one of the best in the country, and Foley will no doubt have a deep pool of worthy candidates from which to choose.
Of course, Foley spent most of his face time with the media here at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium explaining the reasons he believed were behind Urban Meyer's decision to resign after six years. And Foley's reasons echoed the ones given a few moments earlier by his coach, friend and subdivision neighbor.
A relaxed and healthy Meyer smiled and stressed he wanted to focus on being a husband and father after 25 years on college sidelines, the last 10 in charge and the last six at UF.
"He said it's the right time in his life, as he said, he's at peace with the decision," Foley explained.
"And that's what makes it good. Was it an easy one? No. His heart is breaking a little bit because he loves this place. But it's also the right time."
