A source confirmed to Local 6 sports director David Pingalore on Saturday that Florida head coach Urban Meyer, who is resigning following the team's bowl game, suffered a heart attack during the season.
University of Florida athletics director Jeremy Foley announced on Saturday that Meyer would resign, effective immediately after the Gators' game against Cincinnati in the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Day.
According to Pingalore's source, Meyer did not inform anyone about the issue.
Meyer's health came into question following that Gators loss in the SEC title game against Alabama. He was admitted into a hospital in Gainesville the following morning for a reported case of dehydration, but Pingalore's source said Meyer suffered another heart issue.
Doctors recently informed Meyer that his health is at a major risk if he continues to coach.
