Man, what a debate. Good stuff, guys.
IMO, it still boils down to this: money or significance.
Florida is still a high-profile gig, and Meyer is worthy of a lot of recognition of what he and Tebow have done over the last few years. I still contend Florida winning the title this year gives Meyer a run of dominance for the ages and makes Tebow arguably the best player in the history of modern college football.
But Gator fans need to get over themselves if they think that Florida is as big a prestige job as ND. Face it. In terms of national relevance, they are the Yankees. They are the Cowboys. They are the Lakers. Winning national titles at ND is a bigger deal than winning them anywhere else. Bigger than Florida, Texas, USC, Ohio State and any other program you can name. Yeah, Meyer has some recognition now. But bringing ND back from where they are is the absolute peak of the sport. Even people who haven't seen a total of 30 minutes of college football in their life will at least have some sort of recognition of your name.
That's all there is to it. If Meyer wants more greatness, he'll leave to ND. Continuing this sort of dominance in the SEC will be a bigger challenge, but won't carry as much recognition.
The money thing has been discussed ad nauseum. They can pay Charlie the rest of his millions and still have enough in the coffers to offer Meyer whatever it would take.
