 well, Trevor is a boy from the south.  Urban was at least implying there was something else there. 

then again, if you don't know who Aaron Darnold is.....maybe Urban didn't realize Trevor playing at Clemson and was born in GA. 

I think Urban just chooses to belittle everyone in a powertrip move and is a just a shitty human.   

no he wasnt...people call males boy all the time and theres is nothing nefarious to it at all

What a sick, sad man Urban is.  Feel for his family.  It's just so crazy to read what the players and coaches said.  How can you work with or for someone like that?  How does he keep getting jobs?

Ugh.  Hopefully that's the end.  But I know it's not.

It's why Saban failed in the NFL too - the dictatorial stance they can take in College doesn't work with millionaires.

I kinda think the terms he uses to address people aren't necessarily as big a problem as the fact that he treats everybody under him like absolute trash.

John Brown is from Homestead in Miami. Urban was referring to “boys from Miami.” It was for sure a racist slight against Brown.

 

I bet that team is legit this year and TL thrives.

OK, then I want you to go up to Aaron Donald and call him "boy."  That is a nefarious term.  Even if it isn't somehow perceived as being racial within a particular context, it is degrading to call a grown man a boy.  You see, empathy is the ability to see how something might impact someone other than yourself.  If you can't see it, that is called bias. If you refuse to see it, that is called racism.

Urban Meyer has lived in a very exclusive college coaching bubble for a very long time. He really didn't watch the pro game at all, I believe, leading to his lack of knowledge of big name players and how the teams operated. It's understandable, considering the pressure put on college coaches at the top of their field.

That being said, it became evident that his personality completely filled up that bubble and he was the sun, moon and stars of his own world. When removed from that little fiefdom, his nature of being a total butt hole was out there for all to see. Just as many had predicted.

Good bye to the guy, may he find something to do elsewhere. And thankfully, he didn't end up in Charlotte. Now, about the guy who did...

I hope you're right but will believe it when I see it.

Outside of bass fishing I don't think State has win an ACC Championship in ANY sport for over 20-years...

 I mean, it's not just about the the fact he inserted the word boy into the insult.   That's part of it but only part of it. But if you feel the need to defend Urban Meyer have at it lol.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
