I always found UM's "health" conditions explanation a bit unsatisfactory. I always thought there was something else going on. Perhaps it's simply a case of "it is what it is," but I dunno. I'm not buying it entirely.
Anyway, the biggest concern with UM as a coach is that he left UF in a mediocre place and "only" won b/c he had a legendary QB to fall back on. Probably some truth to that. If he didn't have a lot of success at BG and Utah, I'd have some concerns. Hard to imagine a guy "lucking" into 3 perfect situations.
Personally, I'd take Saban any day of the week. But I think Coach Meyer would be a pretty good hire, assuming his health allowed him at least 5 years at the program.
Anyway, I'm still of the mind that OSU will shoot for a huge name in December and if they can't land a coach like that, Fickell will be guy.
