Seriously. He said that "the spirits" taught him a way to remove a person's bending forever and that the Avatar "had failed humanity." Koh punished Avatar Kuruk for "failing" as an Avatar (at least that's the reason given), Kuruk tried to eliminate Koh, Koh threatens Aang (though he ends up helping him find Tui and La), Koh--"spoilers"--steals faces, Amon supposedly lost his face... There's enough there to piece together a hypothetical motive: revenge on the Avatar, who is intrinsically tied up with bending. If there's no bending, there's no Avatar--at least, that is HEAVILY implied by what the lion turtle told Aang about energybending.
