(ABC 4 News) -- Attention, up and coming football coaches! You can now actually buy an Urban Meyer football playbook on Ebay.
During the 2004-2005 Football Season, the Utah Utes had the third best offense in all of college football. That offense came straight from a playbook which you can now enjoy in the comfort of your own home.
Several of the playbooks are listed for sale, and reportedly, 20 have been sold, some for more than $100. Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham responded to the sale. When asked if he was surprised anyone could buy Meyer's playbook online, he responded, "No, not at all. In this day and age everything is exposed. There's no way to keep anything under wraps, so it doesn't surprise me at all."
The Utah coaches say somebody's else playbook won't help very much. Defensive coordinator Gary Anderson said, "There's so much information within a playbook, but you got to know the tiny things to make it work."
Coach Whittingham added, "It's a good playbook. Good for it. It's all about players, not plays; it doesn't matter."
Someone reportedly watched a lot of tape of Urban Meyer's plays, and then broke them down on paper to make the playbook. At least, that's according to urban legend.
I did a search on ebay, they have 7 Urban Meyer playbooks for sale.
Unfortunately, they also have 2 Tennessee playbooks from the "Peyton Manning" era. I never realized these were so availale.
