Urban Meyer Once Again Reveals His Douchiness

If you talked to anyone who knew anything about college football before last Saturday, and asked them what they thought was going to happen in the Florida-Tennessee game, you no doubt would have gotten a response along the lines of "Florida will crush Tennessee; it won't be close, and Urban Meyer will take every chance he can to embarrass Lane Kiffin."

This would have been a pretty reasonable response given Urban's history of demanding his respect, be it the timeouts called against Georgia, the late field goal against Miami, or the extra touchdowns his teams would score when he coached at Utah. There were rumors that the Florida band was going to play Rocky Top, and it would haven surprised no one to see Florida try to hang 100 on the Vols.

Of course, the game turned out to be surprisingly close. Meyer, never one to be satisfied with a win, had this to say about Kiffin and the Vols:

"When I saw them start handing the ball off, I didn't feel like they were going after the win."

and

"It was unbelievable. They were taking their time snapping the ball when they could go win the game. There was no two-minute drill."

I don't get why Curch Meyer thinks that he has to do anymore than go out and win the game. Maybe his father never told little Urban that he loved him. Maybe he was picked on a lot as a kid, and calling timeouts with 39 point leads is his way of showing his elementary school classmates that he's not the pussy they thought he was. Whatever his motivation, accusing a team of not trying to win a game is not the mark of a great coach; it's the mark of a douche.
