Right On, Urban!

[bdblack]

I'm not an Urban Meyer fan, but he is dead right about coaches blaming their present woes on the previous regime's sorry recruiting or lack of discipline. Herman did it last weekend, with the "sprinkling pixie dust" sound bite. As Meyer correctly points out, good luck getting your players to buy into what you're selling as you're tossing them under the bus, while waiting for "your guys" to get there. If a coach signs a multi-year contract for millions, that is now his team. It might be OK to think it, but better not voice it in a press conference. Interestingly, Herman once worked for Meyer.

Remember that Meyer also took a shot at Champ for doing a similar thing when he took over at Florida. Don't like Urban much but he is dead-on.

So, Urban 'Tin Man/Cowardly Lion' Meyers is talking about other people not having heart or courage? Wow, pot meet kettle.

Screw Urban Meyer...he left a jailhouse at Florida for Muschamp to clean up

..... as well as 14 NFL draftees left by Meyer for Muschamp!

Yep....Sometimes bad recruit behaviors make good football players.. depends on how you like to run your program.

I agree. Some of this reaction is a defensive attempt to avoid taking responsibility for an absolute dumpster fire that he left for WM. He's been able to win wherever he has gone, but never stuck around long enough to prove that he can sustain success in light of some of his dysfunctional habits. It actually does matter what you were left with.

Considering Meyer's records at Bowling Green, Utah, Florida, and Ohio State, I'd guess that he likes to run a winning program. Maybe Muschamp could use a few more thugs, lol. Just kidding ..... I'll take Will over Urban for the Cocks in the long run. Besides, Meyer just can't get his team to play well against the tiggers.

 

[cocky4]

Yeah....what Urban is really saying is that he does not like the criticism he received for the dumpster fire he left at UF that Muschamp had to take care of. Do I think that what Meyer said is always wrong? No. Do I believe what he said is always right? Certainly not. A coach needs to be held to public accountability for the level of program he ran.

 

[wentzel25]

It just shows urban Meyer has poor reading comprehension. Muschamp wasn't talking about inherited players' talent. He was talking about the complete lack of discipline they had off the field. Urban let them do whatever they wanted, including shooting people in Hernandez's case, and didn't say a word as long as they played well on game day. It was a toxic culture for sure.
Nothing tells you more about Urban's values than his former championship qb's own words: "we ain't came to play school." He may be a great football mind, but he's neither an intelligent man, nor a good person.

 

[davidusc]

Yeah but when Urban wasn't winning, he claimed health issues. Hypocrite.

 

[Jon Snow]

So, Urban doesn't like to see coaches being critical of their inherited program or the previous staff...and he shows his displeasure by being critical of other head coaches.

 

[king ward]

Talking season is supposed to be over. It's football season now.

 

[DarkCock]

Yeah but when Urban wasn't winning, he claimed health issues. Hypocrite.

He saw the behemoth Saban was creating and bailed. Everyone knows it. He knows it. It's really the only blemish on an otherwise outstanding coaching career. I imagine that's why he's still obsessing about it. Maybe that's how the great ones are built.

In Muschamp's defense, he only brought it up when he initially took the job here and the press asked why he would succeed at USC and he didn't succeed at Florida. I'm pretty sure he would have been happy to never address the topic again.

 

[GarnetCocky1]

Urban may be a POS but he's on the money. I hate when coaches complain about "inherited" talent. Those are YOUR players.

Florida wasn't that good when Urban left. We just beat them to win the SEC East. Urban used the excuse that his health was bad and retired. Without Tebow his team struggled and his team was very mediocre.

Yeah, but he was magically healed when OSU offered him $40 million.

Money cures all ills!

Yeah. He had mental anguish.

I've wondered about this one myself.

 

[RoosterBooster1]

Here is the hypocrite Meyer in all his glory, let's take a look

[RoosterBooster1]

He easily avoids talking about the gangster culture inherited by Champ, Hernandez was just the tip of that iceberg.

 

[RoosterBooster1]

Any more Urban supporters?

Read much? As clearly stated in OP, not a Meyer fan, but then, I do call 'em like I see 'em, unlike a lot of the sheep on here.
