Nice read on the hypocricy of Meyer, but I was expecting something about the mullet-sporting ex-WMU hoops guard Robby Collum.

meyer won, and thats all well and good but some of the loyalty still shown to him on this board puzzles me. he left, and misled us about leaving... he doesnt care about us...there's rumors he helps recruit but i doubt it. i kinda think he's a jerk and always have...although i appriciated him while he was here.

Meyer is not real loyal. He's out to help himself get to the top. When he left I was as upset as anyone else, but I have since gotten over it.
The guy is the best coach in college football, and we should be thrilled that we had him for 2 years. Before Meyer the program was worse than it even is now. I'm afraid we're getting back too close to that level, but if not for Meyer who knows where we'd be now. He turned this thing in the right direction and left here with us heading up. I still love him for that.
Besides that I flat out enjoy watching his teams play. The guy is a phenomenal coach.

No matter what you may think of Meyer as a person, you simply cannot argue that point. He's that good....

Meyer gets his team to play together and play hard. Still, he has benefitted from the herculean recruiting efforts of his predecessors that left BG, Utah and Florida loaded with championship-caliber talent.
I don't know if you can put him in the 'great' category until he oversees a program for more than 2 years and accomplishes something of consequence with the players he was responsible for recruiting.
At BG, he severely damaged the 2003 class and the 2001 and 2002 classes were solid but also included many who didn't see the field, including Ronald Bailey, Darius Blackmon, Jamal Bryant, Marlon Burt, Jeff Wailand, Jay Cochran, Reggie Corner (now at Akron) and Jason Kaminski. Utah has also taken a step back since he left with the players he recruited.
(Oh, and making fun of AC Slater's twin at the basketball games was fun, too.)
