I have been following this story, Urban Meyer will take leave of absence for health reasons, since it broke on ESPN. I immediately assumed that Meyer, 45, the successful football coach at the University of Florida, was seriously ill. Why else would a successful 45-year-old man who loved his coaching job leave it?
