It used to be called ‘look for the open man’… but in Meyers ‘playbook’ it is called the ‘spread offense’… or ‘run the qb’ if no one is open… Texas-style.
Every great or wacked Coach neeeeds a song worthy of recalling his deeds and battles… and Urban Meyer is no exception… so with apologies to Johnny Cash and sung to the tune ‘the Rebel’ ( ‘Johnny Yuma’ for you fans of fifties T.V.)… here is:
The Ballad of Urban Meyer
Urban Meyer was an ego
He roamed through the BCS
Did Urban Meyer, the ego
think his mouth was enough?
He got Whinin’ mad
This ego’d lad
When they laughed
at his AA coachin’ skills
Where the only play he knew
Was a fake and a qb run
The ego, Urban Meyer
(Repeat 1st verse)
He searched the BCS
This restless ego
For a bowl quick
that he could win
If he figured he’d get that
if he’d whine just enough
The ego, Urban Meyer
(Repeat 1st verse)
Whinin’ mad
This ego’d lad
With a dream he’d hold
‘Til his dyin’ breath
He’d claim a win
Just him vs. Ohio State
The ego, Urban Meyer
