[QUOTE="Scioto, post: 3904126, member: 12310"] Bowling Green and Utah certainly weren't stacked teams and he won (a lot of games) quickly at both schools. OSU wasn't stacked when he took over. They were on probation, he took over for the disgraced Jim Tressel (hallelujah) and interim coach Luke Fickle and a 7-5 team (who lost to Brady Hoke). He kept Fickle and that showed me a lot about Urban's character and loyalty to a former Buckeye D lineman. I don't recall whether Urban followed Spurrier or Zook. (I get a kick out of Spurrier but he is the most overrated coach in all of football. I lived in DC when he coached the Redskins and it was an absolute joke.). UF may or may not have been stacked at that time. All I remember is how his UF outplayed and out-coached and dominated the sweater vest in 2006. Like many 'Bama fans probably, at first I was sure it was just luck and a game for OSU where everything "just went wrong" but soon realized that the better team and coach won. I don't understand the hate for Meyer (or Saban for that matter). Both highly successful coaches who produce. I think they are loved and respected by their former players. I go back to the OSU days of Woody Hayes. Hated Michigan but utmost respect for Schembechler. Will be the same for Harbaugh. I think it must be either jealousy for the success they bring/brought to hated rivals or more likely what psychologists call transference. At this point, whatever problems UF has it can no longer be blamed on Meyer. [/QUOTE]
