I don’t know who Aditi Kinkhabwala is, but that’s fun to say.

I mean, these are football coaches. A lot of them are full of sh*t.

It's crazy how coaches can miss on Elite talent.



Talk about misrepresenting someone:

(From an Athlethic article when Burrow was at LSU)

Joe Burrow has gone from Ohio State backup to LSU starting quarterback to Heisman Trophy candidate in seemingly a matter of seconds. While this is his second season at the helm of the Tigers’ offense, he has had a breakout year through five games so far, throwing for 1,520 yards and 17 touchdowns while just being picked off twice.

It is a far cry from where he stood as a freshman in the Buckeyes’ film room where then-coach Urban Meyer told the quarterback, among other things, that “you throw like a girl.”

Actually, Burrow agreed
, as he told The Athletic that “my arm strength wasn’t up to par.”

He offered more explanation in a new conversation with Billy Embody of 247Sports.

“Yea, coach Meyer when he gets a new quarterback there as a freshman, he kind of pokes and prods them to see what they can take and then if they can go out and execute while he’s back there yelling at them so he kind of mimics environments you’re going to see on the road so he wants to see if their quarterbacks can handle it so he would be back there yelling at me saying, ‘You’re a DII quarterback, you can’t throw’ and just see if you can handle it as a quarterback,” Burrow told Embody.

Just for kicks, Urbs should try that approach in the NFL and see where it gets him! 😏

No one is100%. Never has been....never will. Someone cut Johnny Unitas.
That was Walt Kiesling, head coach of the Steelers at the time. Art Rooney picked Unitas in the 9th round against Kiesling's wishes. Then Kiesling never even let Johnny throw a single pass in training camp, then he cut him.

But the Steelers also picked William Shakespeare 3rd overall one year, so...

Urbs can spend the rest of his life counting his money. We all wish we sucked like him.
I never imagined you'd stick up for a slim ball POS like him and money doesn't make a man. Granted, money gets you a hot blonde lap dance with sticky fingers after you stay behind and let your team fly back to Jacksonville after a loss.

I can’t stomach Urbs. Never have really. But, I liked the post by @marshall23. We can piss and moan about a lot of people who are slime ball multi-millionaires, but when they count their money by the millions and I don’t. Good for them.

He's not my favorite guy. But observing from afar, he's got a family.... wife, daughters and a son...now grandchildren....they all are fiercely loyal to him. He's won at every college he's ever worked for....several natties and he's earned enough money to support his family for generations. Lots of winning college coaches don't meet with success in the NFL. As for being a slime ball, I'd rather hang out with him than John Surma.

He got suspended from coaching at tOSU for covering up one of his prize assistants repeatedly abusing his wife. His wonderful wife was involved as well. Do you want to defend Zach Smith too? I have a family too that is very loyal. That doesn't make me a good guy but I make an honest living not being a pimp liar sh!tbag that messes around with coeds when my wife's not around. But hey, he's rich and a coach and I'm not so that's most important. 👍

As you said totally out of context. Joe really wanted to go to Nebraska (where his brothers played) and was hurt when he wasn't offered. Tom Herman recruited him and sold him to Urban Meyer. Joe lost back-up job behind JT Barrett to Haskins when he broke his hand in August of 2018. Haskins came in late in the 3rd quarter against Michigan and won the game with a flawless performance even though OSU was behind when he entered the game cold. In spring ball in 2019 Burrow and Haskins were given equal reps. Haskins was chosen and threw for 50 touchdowns in 2019. There were 2 very good qbs and only 1 could play. Joe, through no fault of his own, lost the job because Haskins won the Michigan game, which in turn was a result of his broken hand.

Joe has always been appreciative of his time at OSU and in fact texted once a week with Urban Meyer even during the 2019 season. On Wednesday he stated: "“I wouldn’t be the same player that I am today without those trials and tribulations that I went through there. I loved my time there. I stay in contact with a lot of people from Ohio State," https://www.on3.com/news/joe-burrow...state-buckeyes-cincinnati-bengals-lsu-tigers/ He has also said that the person with the biggest influence on his qb skills was JT Barrett, who in his mind had an unbelievable work ethic and leadership skills.

Joe's affection for OSU was returned by OSU fans and teammates. Here the OSU stadium on the jumbotron played the last minute of the LSU-Auburn game and fans broke out into cheers when a last minute field goal won the game for LSU. https://www.elevenwarriors.com/ohio...is,the game played over the giant video board.

Nothing personal either, but I could care less if you believe it or not.
Look, I know you must have read this story somewhere, or heard it somewhere. This isn’t the kind of story someone makes up, although it’s possible, I suppose, that it might be an urban legend. I tried to find some reference online to this and nothing. I did find that in one game against Penn State Jim Brown had 160 yards rushing on 20 carries and scored three touchdowns, had an interception, too.

My point (since you appear to be deficient in reading comprehension ) is that I don't personally know Urban Meyer, do you? You call this man a "pimp liar shitbag," based purely on what you read. That puts you right up there with the thousands of people that call Joe Paterno a child rapist. I'm glad you have a loyal family.....LOL
