Meyer has a good recruiting pipeline in Florida, which could easily build off of the good foundation we already have in that state. The more we continue to open up the pipelines and bring in coaches like Meyer or Gruden for that matter that have some big name power with some credibility behind their names, the better off we are. I don't particularly care for Meyer's spread, and as witnessed by his last season at UF he certainly needs a solid qb to run his offense effectively. Meyer from the Toledo broadcast certainly is interested, but we'll see. Either way I have faith in Meyer or Gruden let's just hope we can get one of them.

As much as I admire Urban and the success he brought to Florida, his success at BG, then Utah, and then Florida was with a "core" of assistants. In the end, that changed as guys moved on to better gigs (Mullen, Strong, McCarney, Doc, etc.) and he had to win by relying on new staff as a less involved CEO.
What he has not shown is that he can select new assistants and win with the new guys in a sort of "CEO coach" dynamic. He has shown that he can, without a doubt, recruit the hell out of anywhere.

This... plus I really hate his version of the spread... it seems so gimmicky to me... I can understand wanting elements of it .. with a QB like Miller its a way to keep the other teams honest.... but
I want someone who can walk into the recruits house and say "We'll put you in a place where you'll be NFL ready", I don't think Meyer's version of the spread does that, now I'm not saying I want to be OU or Okie Light and chuck the ball all over the field..I just think of tOSU as a Pro-style attack.

This would be my list except for JT. I love the guy, but at this point we need to just clean house.
Also Pete Carroll will need a job. j/k

So since I'm an unapologetic Gruden homer, I'm going to post an update here.

This is a no brainer for the Miami Dolphins. Ross has the $$ to make Gruden a rich man. This has been brought up many times before...The Business Program at UofM bears Stephen M. Ross' name. Chad Henne and Jake Long are both Dolphins.
He can kill two birds with one stone.

Meyer was just fine without mullen and all his crew. He struggled his last year because he didn't have a capable running back, and a capable QB. His system requires a mobile, tough, and timely QB that he did not have once Tebow left.
Urban has done it at every school and if he came here he would once again find success.
I don't care what kind of offense we run. What I do care about though is that we'd atleast have an identity on offense, beating michigan, and winning the big ten. Urban can do all three of those things year ONE.

There lies the problem... Urban recruited Brantley (& Newton), Jordan Reed, Trey Burton, Diskell.... He recruited Demps & Rainey... He's a hellva recruiter but last year was a square peg in a round hole, which makes me question if he can adjust his system & beliefs to his personal. He loaded up on the defensive side of the ball... but on the offensive side... I haven't seen a decent Wideout from them since Louis Murphy & Hernandez...

Well I'd rather have a system that year in and year out will be somewhat the same (IE Wisconsin, Navy, etc) than to not. Urban had Cam Newton who would've been there after Tebow to carry the torch but he gets booted off campus. Tough to predict that and expect Brantley to come in and work a system that isn't to his skill set (sound familiar to our situation right now?)
Urban's defenses have always been good, and his offenses explosive. Give us a top 30 offense and we'll be in the mix more often than not.
For whatever reason though I'm not sure Gruden would be a good hire or not?
