Just binge watched all four episodes of Swamp Kings on Netflix. For those thinking...Who? What? It was a documentary in the "Untold" series which basically focused on the first few years of Urban Meyer at Florida i.e. before he resigned, un-resigned and flamed out before going to Ohio. As the programme extensively featured two ex-Patriots, namely Brandon Spikes and Tim Tebow (well, he did play in a couple of pre-season games from memory), I thought it ok to post here.
Was a good watch, even if you're not particularly into College football. Some of the main takeaways I had were:
- Not surprised Meyer has never succeeded in the NFL. He seems to be made for College. Not sure his act would go down with grizzled NFL veterans
- Tebow was a genuine phenomena at Florida - irrespective of how he actually played at times.
- Tebow looked like he was a fit for that team and that coach in that system at that time i.e. not a major surprised he did nothing in the NFL
- Florida players seemed out of control at times but Meyer was very reticent to cut people from the program no matter what they did
- College football really is huge in some parts of the US - way bigger and much more important then the NFL
...loads of other things I could say but I won't spoil it for anyone else planning on watching.
