Urban Meyer Hits Tom Herman With The Classic Scoreboard Burn. With one week and one embarrassing loss in the books, it seems about right that college football fans already have to listen to some Texas coaches squirm and blame shift. Tom Herman coached his first game as the Texas head coach this weekend it did not go well.

The Longhorns let Marylanda program that only managed to top 4. FIU, Purdue, and Howard in 2. Austin no less. The loss continued Texass ongoing stretch of shitty defense and the Associated Press voterss stretch of slapping a top 2. After the game, Herman was asked a bevy of questions concerning the state of the program he handled it fine for the most part, save for one now common first year coach response. I told our guys, never get used to this feeling, but that if we all thought that we were going to come in here and in nine months sprinkle some fairy dust on this team and think that weve arrived, then were wrong. The fairy dust refrain didnt pick up much play earlier this week, mainly because with the increasing coaching turnover found in college football, reporters, coaches, and athletic directors have become comfortable with the idea of new coaches attempting to shift the blame for the state of their program to their predecessors. Then, when the frauds are exposed as such, they get to walk away with millions in buyout clause money, leaving behind another pit for another man to walk in and spin the same record at the postgame pressers. In Hermans case, he nearly got away with blaming his team shitting the bed and the whole damn house on Charlie Strongwho was actually dealt a bad hand recruiting wise when he took overand all of Strongs recruits that still suit up for the Longhorns. Unfortunately for Herman, the comment caught the attention of college footballs favorite ornery coach. Speaking with CBS Sports on Thursday, Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer pushed back on the player blaming strategy, calling out Herman as well as his own Florida successor, Will Muschamp, for not owning up to the state of their programs from the startthough the case with the Gators had more to do with the fact that players Meyer recruited were well known for their off field issues.

Focusing his attention on Herman, Meyer made efficient use of his words, suggesting that should his Texas counterpart want to blame anyone for Saturdays embarrassment, he ought to take hard looks at the scoreboard, the opponent, and the mirror. Cmon man. I dont know where that came from, Meyer told CBS Sports. Its like a new generation of excuse. Herman said, I cant rub pixie dust on this thing. He got a dose of reality.
