Netflix’s Tim Tebow, Urban Meyer Florida Documentary Gets Ripped by Critics

At Florida, Tim Tebow’s legacy is unmatched.

The former Gators quarterback became one of the most outstanding and respected players in program history after helping Florida claim two BCS national championships in 2006 and ’08 and earning college football’s coveted Heisman Trophy during his tenure. In the new Netflix documentary series titled Untold: Swamp Kings, Tebow’s reign is on full display under former coach Urban Meyer.

Meyer, with the help of Tebow’s dynamic play and a myriad of future NFL stars, restored the Gators program to national prominence from ’05 to ’10 following three turbulent years of the Ron Zook era. After the four-part docuseries aired, it left many college football fans reminiscing about those on-field glory days of Florida football.

However, some college football fans were not pleased with quality of the documentary. Many cited that the stories focused too much on the players’ successes while avoiding much of what viewers were seeking from a Florida documentary, including full depiction of Meyer’s tumultuous tenure with the program, and the various scandals that stemmed from it.
