from article on Urban Meyer:
“I’m a loss guy. I got to try to get off that,” he said. “There’s been some bad losses that I wish I had back. If you lose a game that you can say, ‘You know what, that team was a little better than us.’ But we also had some that you’re like, ‘Dammit, we want that one again.’”
Meyer calls his “maniacal approach” one of the key factors in him becoming one of greatest coaches in college football history.
“To the point where you don’t sleep, you don’t eat, you don’t act like a human being most of your life because you’re so fanatical about making sure everything’s done right,” Meyer said.
He recalled a moment after his first title when he was standing in a tunnel at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona.
“It’s one of those good news and bad news things,” Meyer said. “I got good news: you won it all. The bad news is you won it all. You become miserable when you’re not playing at that level, and that’s what happened.”
