Florida’s Football Coach Should Have Taken More Time Off

I just heard where Florida Coach Urban Meyer went off on a reporter from the Orlando Sentinel.  Now my first reaction was that he probably deserved it.  I’m not keen on most local sports reports.  But then I read the article and heard a recording of the interchange.  Now I’ve never been a huge Meyer fan (nothing to do with my Dawgs!), but this clinched it for me.  Urban Meyer is a great coach who is way too full of himself and I have no use for him.You can read the article here at Irked with Reporter.   But the bottom line from what I read and heard was that the reporter just reported what one of the football players said.  And none of what the kid said was negative.




I just don’t understand what Meyer’s problem was.  Other than he’s wound just a little too tight.  And now it appears that he has is on a power trip.  Claiming that the Sentinel will not be allowed to cover Florida football in the future if it happens again.

I’m sorry, but sometimes these football coaches think that they are bigger than the game or the school that they coach at.  Come on Coach Meyer, get over yourself!

Or was this somehow about Tim Tebow?  I hope not and I hope that the wide receive quoted in this article doesn’t incur Meyer’s wrath.  I mean I am so tired of hearing about Tim Tebow.  Yes, great college football player.  Yes, fine young man.  The second coming?  No.  It’s as bad as hearing about Tiger Woods.

And that’s all I have to say about that.
