Urban Meyer was 39-8 as a head coach when UF hired him. He had also won a BCS bowl, unlike Bielema.

I remember when he was hired. Notre Dame and Florida were both vying for his services. He was the hottest and most sought after coach in college football at the time. This is your correct answer.

And Bielema has nothing on Meyer.

I'll accept that even though Urban had less HC experience and that experience was 2 years in the MAC and 2 years in the MWC as opposed to 7 years in the Big 10. The BCS Bowl win by Meyer is huge, and may be just enough to put his resume on equal footing as Bielema's, although it's arguable.
