If Jose Mourinho had been born in Tennessee...

[mezzrow]

He'd sound like this. Here's a coach who doesn't like his team very much this year. Familiar?



I love the way Spurrier gets his dig in on Georgia, there. My buds sent me a link to this, and its one of ball coach's best rants in a long time. Laughed my way through the Miami airport listening to this. If you're looking for the American Mourinho, here's your guy. If you're looking for the Euro Spurrier (what a concept) than you have to go to the special one. Two peas in a pod, these two.

An aside to all the wonderful Evertonians in Merseyside plus points north/south. I'm just home - from the A4 and Heathrow to JAX in what feels like more hours than it really was. Thanks for a wonderful time, I'll never forget it as long as I live, and hope to do it again soon. I'll have lots more to say later. It's a special club, and you are special people, in the best sense of the term. Going to bed after this, as I'm ruint.

Hope a few of you can even enjoy this, though most of it won't make any sense at all. As we say in these parts, ball coach is pure lit up. Y'all SEC fans, just sit back and enjoy. This is classic.

Just to add - his team had just won by two touchdowns.

If you are not yet aware of the parody site Hatin-A** Spurrier, please let me lead you there.

Every week, this place leaves me in tears. here are some of the gems so far this year:

"I thought we paid a pretty good tribute to Brad Scott's South Carolina teams on Thursday night."

"They call it a 3-4 defense in Columbia cause you miss three, maybe four tackles a play, and it adds up to seven in the end."

"You see that Ole Miss defense? I didn't know Hugh Freeze belonged to a horse-slaughterin' congregation. Pentecostals really are something."

"Only team that handled Temple worse than Vanderbilt was the moneychangers."

"Can't say I'm surprised Penn State won that Dublin game. They're used to playin for a crowd that doesn't understand modern football."

"Dana Holgorsen, getting that kind of penetration in Atlanta is actually why a lot of people go there on weekends."

Tell Georgia fans something was ghostwritten and watch them scream "DADDY I LOVE YOU, AND WHERE'D YOU HIDE THE MONEY" into the spine.

I know Tennessee hasn't played anybody, but 2-0 is better than the old "Kentucky with boats" recruiting pitch.

Surprised me to see Alabama beat Florida Atlantic that easily. Nick Saban didn't even have his swimmies on.

Fool you the first time, shame on you. Fool you the second time and you know damn well what's going to happen when you open the door for Mormons, Texas.

Gotta respect what June Jones has done in his career. Lost to Georgia and got blown out in the Sugar Bowl, but never lost the faith of Jeremy Foley.

It's a good post mate...and not a half bad comparison.

If you could mix Saban and Spurrier, you might have the perfect American Football Mourinho

Great call. I hate them both.

Who would be the American Martinez? First name to come to mind is Pete Carroll.

We used to have to play them both every year. At least Spurrier is now on rotation.

I'm not really good at the comparison game, but Carroll is a reasonable guess. Maybe Sean Payton too, for strategy, but Carroll's personality seems a closer fit.

I was also thinking of the failing and rising from the ashes aspect of his career (along with the positive approach)...even if he's twice as old...not quite like

You can keep this little factoid in abeyance to amaze your friends.

Who's the only man to win a Heisman Trophy on the basis of a made field goal?

See above.

Kliff Kingsbury, oozes class and is just really cool. Masterful tactician, Kliff runs his air raid spread offense. All the ladies want a piece. First head job at the college where he played (Texas Tech), Roberto started at Swansea where he played.

For those of us not in the USA, does this actually mean something.......

Good call, this. Let Kliff klimb the ladder, and we'll see. Don't know if he's as smooth on TV as Martinez, but who is? Both very innovative and offense minded. Red Raiders also not known for their juggernaut defense, he says nervously.

This is fun. Who is the American Wenger? (mind explodes)

Sorry Pete!

Unlikely it means anything you would care to know.
