Urban Meyer driven 'insane' by Herman, Muschamp blaming players

[8085sooner]

Urban Meyer knows a thing or two about respectfully replacing legends.

Twelve years ago, Ohio State's current coach started a successful run at Florida just four seasons after Steve Spurrier left the Gators. In late 2011, he became the first permanent coach following the firing of Jim Tressel.

On Saturday, Meyer will coach against Oklahoma's Lincoln Riley, who himself is three months into taking over for the suddenly retired Bob Stoops.

Meyer said it drives him "insane" when coaches blame players they inherited from a previous staff.


The coach particularly took issue with Tom Herman at Texas and Will Muschamp, formerly at Florida and now at South Carolina.



Meyer pointed to a statement made Saturday by Herman (his former offensive coordinator at Ohio State) not being able to "sprinkle fairy dust" on the Longhorns team he inherited from Charlie Strong (Meyer's former defensive coordinator at Florida) following a loss to Maryland.

Meyer also said Muschamp "blamed us for Florida," referring to a perceived lack of talent left for Muschamp when Meyer departed before the 2011 season.

"C'mon man. I don't know where that came from," Meyer told CBS Sports. "It's like a new generation of excuse. [Herman] said, 'I can't rub pixie dust on this thing.' He got a dose of reality. Maryland just scored 51 points on you."

I do find this pretty funny coming from a guy who, one year after his magic pixie dust (aka Tim Tebow) was gone, ran as far as he could from Florida.

I don't remember him blaming players...

I don't remember him blaming players...

I know. He blamed health issues.

That magically disappeared when he had a better team in Ohio State to coach.

I don't see Herman complaining. I see him saying it's going to take time.

Nice!

Could also be seen as a veiled shot across the bow to that overrated twat at Michigan.

He's not manning up and taking the blame!

lolz

 

[Lance Armstrong]

makes sense someone that left a program high and dry would feel that way.

He has a point though. The elite coaches right now are Saban, Meyer, Fischer, and Dabo, and I don't recall any of them complaining about what they inherited, and by god did Saban inherit some absolute shit.

Saban lost to something called Louisiana-Monroe his 1st season at Bama.

So tell me, what kind of magical players would Tom Herman need to inherit to avoid having his shit pushed in, in his own house by Maryland.

Maryland, for fuck's sake.

...yet didn't blame the players and then 4 years later killed the Texas football program.

and this pisses you off because...? coaches leave programs for various reasons all the time. It's not like he sabotage the program, pissed in the water cooler, and left w/out saying a word.
