For the second time this week, Urban Meyer has made something perfectly clear -- he plans to remain as the head coach at Florida in 2011.
Following Thursday's practice, Meyer said he will "absolutely" be Florida's coach next season and said "nothing" will get in his way of coming back.
Questions arose about Meyer's return because of his health issues that forced his short resignation before last year's bowl game and his eventual leave of absence after the 2009 season.
Meyer returned to the team, but has delegated some of his old duties to his assistant coaches this season.
"The head coach will be back next year," Meyer said during his Monday press conference. "I'm going to do the best I can to get this thing back to the elite level that we all expect."
Florida (6-4) will face Football Championship Subdivision power Appalachian State (9-1, 7-1 Southern) in its home finale Saturday.
