Corch Urban Meyer's New Heart Healthy Low Stress Approach To Coaching

I highly recommend it. Nothing quite makes my day than going on a power trip and making a punk kid call me “uncle.”

Geez. What a dewsh.

Hook ’em.

Molehill meets Meyer Mountain. A virtual non-story evolves into a national news item.

God bless the video revolution.

ESPN swooping down to defend Urban in 3…2…1…

And Meyer moves ahead of Mangino in the office Dead Pool.

Not good to stress like that w/o a pipeline to the Almighty in practice ready to lay hands should the ticker pop.

It does appear he’s taken the showboating lessons to heart though.

Why is it that when guys like Meyer and Gundy vigorously defend players it’s never about the players?

It’s no wonder why Meyer has such bad health problems if he gets worked up over something as petty as this …very amusing though

I coudn’t hear the video very well—-what happened?

Meyer has always been a total dick. But then I look at Florida’s non-conference schedules and realize that he’s a cowardly pussy. So I guess Meyer is actually Cartman’s mom.

He plays in the SEC and has won two national championships. I think he knows what he’s doing.

The reason this is simultaneously amusing and annoying is it has to do with Tebow.

Mmmmmmm….umbrage……

I had no strong opinion about Meyer other than crediting him for success. The weird quasi-resignation and now this make me think that he has become something of a drama queen. I didn’t see anything in the quote that was about anything other than football. Publishing the quote is not an attack on anybody. Come to think of it, this is the most drama queeny moment I’ve seen since Tebow made a point to separate himself from his team so the cameras and the world could watch him boo hoo over getting crushed by Alabama.

I wonder if Meyer is showboating to enhance his reputation as a guy who cares about and defends his players. He looked like a fool. The whole statement about “we’d be getting into it” makes him into something of a pussy. Either get into it or don’t, otherwise you’re just taking swipes at people with the jawbone of an ass.

Jeremy Fowler’s reaction at one point is funny. “But, but…I’ll play by rules.” Sniveling comes to mind. Funny stuff, but ultimately not that big a deal. Could we have seen Muschamp doing this type of thing before being taught the force by Mack???

Shit! Muschamp would have shown the guy his own spine before he crumpled into a pile of skin and jelly on the ground!!!!

Good column I found. Meyer as Smoke Monster:

combines two of my favorites: college football and Lost

My guess is that Muschamp would have reserved his irritation for the player if the quotes were such a problem.
 
Meyer saw an opportunity cloak his actions under “defending his kids” while sending a not-so-subtle message to the local press that their careers live and die with access to him.
 
I think parlin nailed it:

This is all about intimidating the media. This is why the reporters’ questions to football coaches are so bland. College head coaches have so much more power than pro head coaches, both in terms of controlling the media and being the general manager as well as head coach.

The comments about Brantley throwing on time more than Tebow and that Brantley is more of a (traditional) QB than Tebow were really interesting. Both Texas and Florida will be moving back to more traditional O’s with less QB running and less improvisation by the QB.

It will be interesting to see how Florida fairs this year. They lost an elite DC and most of their playmakers on offense. Still somehow I think they’ll find their way into the SEC championship game. Now that LSU and Georgia aren’t acting as challengers anymore, it’s becoming more of a two horse raise in that conference.

This is his way of announcing that, HE IS BACK!!! And damnit, he’s as fiery as ever, and he’s going to whip the shit out of you if he has to. Although, walking towards someone with your hands by your side while running your mouth is never the smart thing to do.

It reminds me of when Tony was coming back from his near death experience (gunshot wound from Uncle June). He had gotten a little softer, or sympathetic, and his crew noticed it. So what did he do? He pecked a fight with the biggest, baddest dude, and whipped his ass. The crew is now on notice. In this case, he’s not only sending a message to the media, but also his team. No room for heretics in Gainesville.

This brings back memories.

I was actually thinking of you when this came up. Except that you actively challenged authority and trod where no one else would.
 
This poor sap was just printing a provocative quote from one of Meyer’s own players.

" Both Texas and Florida will be moving back to more traditional O’s with less QB running and less improvisation by the QB"

i only wish this were true with Texas. I haven’t seen or heard anything that makes me think GG will be given the luxury to settle comfortably in the pocket. Like Colt McCoy after the 2007 season, he will have to bulk up and run to keep himself from getting injured.

A public beratement meekly followed by a private apology once he realizes that everyone other than whistle worshippers thinks he’s a hypersensitive clown.
 
The definition of a cowardly asshole.

If I’m in that private meeting, I tell him thanks for the apology. Now I expect you to offer it in front of as many cameras as you managed to find when you first had your hissyfit.

Meyer doesn’t give a shit about the player. He’s pissed because the reporter correctly reported that the player correctly asserted that Tebus isn’t a real quarterback. Period.
