Urban Meyer goes off on a Reporter - ScarletBuckeye

He started to yell at a reporter from the Orlando Sentinel I believe. The reporter wrote a story how John Brantley was more of a "real QB' then Tim Tebow. Deonte Thompson was the kid who said it, Thompson was recruited by tOSU.

Sorry Dont' have a link.

Urban comes off as the bad guy here. Touchy....

What a crybaby, all that was quoted was Deionte(sp) Thompson saying he thought Brantley was more of a 'True' Quarterback in terms of his mechanics, delivery, and pocket presence; whereas I don't think he was throwing Tim Tebow under the bus by saying that he's not a prototypical quarterback, I think anyone can agree with him that he IS NOT a prototypical quarterback, and that's not even an insult or downgrading of him. Grow the F up Urban.

Meyer apologizes to reporter in private setting
2 hours, 55 minutes ago

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP)—Florida coach Urban Meyer apologized Saturday to the reporter he berated earlier this week for publishing a quote by one of his players.

Meyer spent more than 20 minutes with the Orlando Sentinel’s Jeremy Fowler following spring practice. Fowler declined to divulge details of the discussion, but called it a “constructive” conversation and said he accepted Meyer’s apology.

Meyer did not speak with reporters.

Meyer lashed out at Fowler on Wednesday, calling him a “bad guy” and threatening to ban the newspaper for publishing a quote in which receiver Deonte Thompson called John Brantley a “real quarterback.” Thompson meant to say that Brantley was a more conventional or prototypical passer than Tim Tebow.

Thompson’s quote quickly spread across the country thanks to Twitter and the Internet, and the receiver was crushed when friends and teammates asked him why he ripped Tebow. Thompson expressed his frustration to Meyer, who unleashed on Fowler during an exchange caught on camera and witnessed by colleagues and fans.
