No one worth paying attention to thought Meyer wasn't ready when he left Utah. In fact, at the time. kevin white and ND were roundly chided for letting him get away and mishandling the whole process. Comparing Utah to taking a chance with a guy out of Bowling Green and ND taking a chance with a guy out of BG is silly. Utah was exactly the correct move for Meyer at the time as he built his experience and capabilities to be ready for a Power 5 school.
And yes this is a discussion board so I get the silly random speculation shit but sometimes it can be hard to ignore the inane repetitive ignorance of some posters.
And there is nothing wrong with calling that out.
btw, I am not sure where you get the notion that "every other poster says we can't get elite" unless you are defining elite as Saban/Meyer/ Harbaugh plus perhaps one or two other guys. There are no other "elites" in college football but there are plenty of other high quality guys that will come to ND. And I agree that we should be looking for the next Urban Meyer and not settle on a strong coach who may never get there. While guys like D'Antoni and Patterson are solid coaches and better than Kelly, we can do better than that. PJ Fleck or anyone else in the MAC just ain't it now.
