A few days after his decision to retire had been made, and only hours after it had been announced, the emotions finally caught up with Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley during phone conversations Monday night with two of his favorite former coaches — Billy Donovan and Urban Meyer.
“Last night was probably the toughest time for me because you guys know how close I am to Urban Meyer, and obviously particularly close to Billy Donovan, who I hired, and who is a terrific friend,” Foley said Tuesday at his official retirement news conference.
