The Florida media starts to get its licks in on Urban Meyer, TV analyst:
Urban Meyer, hoping for a job with ESPN, was dreadfully dull in his halftime appearance.
How long do you figure his ego can take shots like that without the opportunity to retaliate?
Of course he was boring. He’s Urban Meyer. He was still more informative than most of the dipshit sports analysts out there.
To quote LJ “Karma’s a bitch” Urban has been a prick to the press for so long and now he wants to join them. Good luck making friends now Urban.
Not long.
I had the sound turned off on them, but I did enjoy watching Saban and Corch act like they liked each other on the podium. I was trying to figure out who would win in a fight.
Saban was awesome, I thought.
Someone should tell Urban to sit up straight.
Coach Donnan was kinda rough round the edges when got his first broadcast gig. He does a fairly decent job now. Who knows? I’d rather see him (Meyer) yacking about football than coaching it in the SEC.
even Athens?
That’s a stretch. You think he could bring the talent?
Do you think he could coach ‘em up?
Loved Saban gator- arming when he talked. Bet he couldn’t talk with his hands tied behind his back.
Saban definitely had the arms waving. Looked like he was directing traffic in Times Square.
Lemme see….boring Urban Meyer…..Craig James….Meyer—-James….hmmm
Urban will be sent through the Broadcaster Training Program all the former coaches and atheletes take before they see significant time behind the desk. After he comes out of that cookie cutter program he’ll be sitting up straight, wearing fifteen hundred dollar suits, and using the same five hand gestures all the other talking heads use. He’ll also be skilled at leaving four letter words behind (except for E-S-P-N), and how to avoid making “controversial statements.” This also includes how to speak to fellow female broadcasters on the air and how to look at Erin Andrews without using a peep hole. When Saban’s time comes, he’ll be the first student to have fifty pound weights on each wrist like “training wheels” to keep his hands under control.
I can’t stand Corch but I commented to a buddy during halftime that I actually enjoyed having Saban and Corch doing analysis both before the game and at halftime. I like having guys that really get what is going on with a football game telling me what’s working, what’s not, and what teams need to do. I could care less if he is boring as long as he provides good analysis backed up with reasons that a lay person like me may not have. I’m not watching the pregame or the halftime show for pure entertainment…I’m watching to get something tangible.
+1
What the hey! If Granny Holtz can keep getting paid to flap his jaws on the mothership, I guess Corch Cryer can get paid too!
I would ditto what ever one else has said about Corch Meyers. I thought he did well. He has a real radio announcer voice,he’s well spoken, he knows what he’s talking about and stayed on point.
In the alternative universe Spock wears a goatee and Corch Meyers is Bob Davie.
He a fish eyed fool – - – and still look like a pedophile.
