For Those Who Wish We Hired Urban Meyer

To respond to the OP, no I never wished for Meyer as our coach even before this incident. I don’t think he’s all that and would struggle rebuilding TN overnight just like most other coaches. I don’t think he is any more innovative that CJH in terms of offensive schemes and CJH is a much better human being
 
I questioned the outrage over a trivial matter. And I'm not the only one.

Silly me. I guess I thought this was discussion board...
It is a discussion board. However it makes little sense for someone to question the importance of the topic and to continuously debate it. If it’s not important to you put your typing fingers down and move on.
 
Urban is a rubbed, oh my! Oh well, he might have been babe-sitting.

Knowing Meyer it was a setup to get fired or resign so he can go after USC job (or LSU if it opens up). In his mind this may be easier to deal with than professional humiliation of quitting or being fired after one season as a horrific NFL coach. Situation also opens up “need to spend more time with my family” bailout. He’s done it before.

He’d have us back to 90s form in year 3 at the latest.

Wouldn't surprise me. But I don't think he's returning to the SEC. Especially not LSU as he'd have to contend with Kiffin, and I think despite current circumstances, Leach will be another reason to shy away from the SEC-west. The competition will wither him. USC might be desperate enough to try him to counter the success of some of the coaches there. If a school hires him, I think I can see a few hypnotized by his presumed coaching acumen.

If he leaves right now no big time program is going to hire him

OK State wouldn't touch him, neither would either of the Kansas schools. He's too slick for OSU and KState. Kansas might have taken a chance if they had not just been so badly burned by Les Miles. IMO, Meyer is going to have to go the route of Hugh Freeze and spend some time at an unknown school for a few years if he hopes to coach in college again. I doubt that he does, though. He will sit out a couple of years and then show up on HBO or something not prime network talking about about football.
