For one game? Meyer
For one season? Meyer
For 5 years? Meyer
For a decade? Spurrier, no question about it.
I think Meyer is a great coach, but I'm not sure he can build and sustain a program. He took over Florida and Ohio State teams stacked with talent and made the most of them, but Florida absolutely fell apart in 2010, and he left a bad situation for Muschamp initially. Meanwhile, Spurrier made Florida into what we know it to be today and he sustained that success for a decade, and then he turned a historically awful South Carolina program into a consistent, sustained winner while totally overhauling his offensive philosophy. Plus, Meyer just seems like he'll quit the minute the going gets tough. Lose to Alabama in the 2009 SECCG with a Florida team predicted to repeat as BCS Champs? Quit. Going gets tough when it's time to rebuild in 2010? Quit.
To me, what Meyer did at Florida and Ohio State is nowhere near comparable to what Spurrier did at South Carolina or what Saban did at LSU, since both of those programs were veritable dumpster fires.

2008 was Meyer's best team vs Spurrier's worst or second worst team
Meyer was 0-2 against Spurrier without Tebow and would have lost in '06 if Jarvis Moss had been suspended like he should have been.
You go ahead and use one game as the only criteria for comparing the coaches though
Y'all really need to let this go.

It was all conjecture anyway, it's not like we knew Moss was suspended before the South Carolina game, it happened the middle of the next week.

As much as I hate on Muschamp, I do think there's a chance he's a great top 5 coach in 5-10 years, remember Saban sucked pretty hard as a coach at first too, he just didn't get to do it at a top level school, Boom's problem is that he's still learning what kind of coach he wants to be but he's trying to do it at one of the top 5 jobs in the country.
He's dramatically shifted this year from trying to be a Saban clone to being a guy who has a Hurry Up no huddle team running the spread option.
