NEW ORLEANS, LA. (AP) -- Less than 24 hours after he resigned, Florida coach Urban Meyer is instead taking an indefinite leave of absence and opening the door for a return to the Gators.
A person familiar with decision told The Associated Press on Sunday that Meyer had changed his mind. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the school made no announcement.
Meyer is to speak at a news conference in New Orleans on Sunday.
On Saturday night, Meyer said he was leaving after five seasons as Gators coach because of health concerns. He spent several hours in a hospital because of chest pains three weeks ago.
The University of Florida student newspaper, The New York Times and ESPN.com first reported Meyer's change of plans.
