Legend or Urban Liar?

Florida Football: Is Meyer an Urban Legend or Urban Liar? | Bleacher Report

MY Favorite:

Just Funny: You can't tell the story about Jevan Snead enough (recounted in the book Meat Market). The funniest thing I read in it concerned what Urban Meyer told Jevan Snead. Snead had watched the Outside the Lines special on Tebow, which showed Meyer and OC Dan Mullen in the stands. Problem was, Meyer had told Snead, committed at the time, that he was the only quarterback they were going after.

When Snead asked Meyer about it, Meyer responded, "We are recruiting him for linebacker." I had heard that before, but got a big kick out of reading it in the book straight from Snead.

Haha that is funny, but I'm sure all coaches are pretty sneaky when it comes to recruiting.

Sad reality.

That's something I'm sure Kiffin is harping on that he won't do. Hopefully it will catch on with these kids.

I think a perfect example of Kiffin trying to be truthful to these kids is what he told Tajh Boyd.

Is that a good thing? Maybe, maybe not.

I never have like Urban Oscar Meyer. He looks almost exactly like a weasel.

I'm hoping that CEO goes after CUM the way he did the recruiter from UCLA that it talks about in Meat Market. If not, maybe they will bump into each other at a recruits house and CEO will go "Hulk" and tear CUM apart, limb from limb.

I think it is. The kind of kid Kiffin wants on his team is the kind of kid that will appreciate a HFC/Staff that will level with him... exactly like what Kiffin did with Boyd.

Boyd might very well not be a good fit for the pocket QB Kiffin wants. I'll trust Kiffin's judgment on that. Boyd could go on to be an AA at Clemson (if he signs there) and I wouldn't care. Good for him... doesn't mean he would be an AA here.

Funny how when Kiffin does something to antagonize people on the recruiting trail he gets a slap on the back whereas if Meyer and his staff play hardball (but within the rules) people can't wait to criticize.

I wouldn't call it "funny". What has Kiffin done that compares with what Meyer has done?
