Meyer was a Machen hire, not a Foley hire.

And Muschamp has been a pretty poor choice.

While I think Machen played a role, I think his importance is overplayed. Meyer was the hottest up and coming coach in the country, Foley would have likely gone after him whether Machen was here or not. Not to mention, Machen and Meyer's time at Utah only overlapped a few months, they didn't have a long relationship.
