I mean he won like 80% of his SEC games in a dominant span. 2009 was a "failure" because they lost 1 game

He can coach, and he can win. If he will beat Saban again is to be determined, but he's beaten all the other good teams

... when he was at Florida. Big difference. The article sloughs-over the reference to the colder climate in Columbus, so he'll be fighting an uphill battle snagging enough recruits from down here to play up there when they could play down here and be members of the SEC.

And he was outcoached in many a conference game down here but still managed to win ... I give Tebow a lot of credit for that, and luck, and even to some extent questionable ethics. He often times played players that should not have been playing ... ala Bobby Bowden.

Meyer left because he saw Saban had a machine. Florida fans were booing everything his mighty offense did. He quit on us in 09, and then allowed Steve Addazio to run our program during the offseason and completely implode our freaking set up. We were awesome, then sucked. Wasn't lack of recruits, wasn't lack of potiential..it was Addazio being the worst OC I've ever seen, and Meyer not caring. By the time he came back and was "focused" we were done for anyways. Our Oline was the worst we had had in 10 years, our defense was unorganized despite absurd talent, our offense ran a total of maybe 10 freaking plays the whole game and 3 points was a victory that season.

He can win. There's no doubting that. And there was a time after 2009 where you could legitimately debate who was the better coach between Saban and him. But there is no debating that now. He isn't even in the same league anymore.

He can coach. He CAN win.....when he is coaching a SEC team. And even then he would have to coach a select group of teams. (LSU, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Auburn, Tennessee, MAYBE SouCar)

He will have to have an established team. I don't see him taking a weak team like Kentucky (Sorry, Kentucky fans) and turning them into a power. While Ohio State is an established team...I think the SEC has already established that they cannot beat the best in the SEC. (Read: those same teams mentioned above when in a regular year)
