Looks like Meyer is looking to come back...again. Been watching this & it'll be interesting to see where/if he lands. I came up 4 potential landing spots, just looking at super high profile jobs.
1. USC - seem to be the odds on favorite by most accounts, he could make the Pac 10 relevent again, quickly.
2. Michigan - It's not that far fetched to see Harbaugh going back to the NFL, or stepping aside. He's not exacty been lighting the world on fire. But a reasonable 41-15. (73%) Plus it would cause a tOSU vs Meeechigan rivalry to go through the roof. Meyer might like that controversary.
3. Alabama - This could be very bad for LSU & the SEC. IF Saban wins the NC, I think he retires, imo. It would not surprise me to see Bama go after him. Although, Meyer probably doesn't want to take the Les Miles spot of following Saban. But Bama pays very, very well. A long shot, but Bama will want a big, splashy hire.
4. Notre Dame - This could be bad for everyone. Notre Dame is overrated every year. Imagine if they had a great coach & could back it up? I'm not saying Brian Kelly is a bad coach at all. Kelly's been there 10 years now, with no NC. Notre Dame fans are still interested in Meyer, even after he turned them down for Florida 15 years ago. Meyer says because Ron Zook had a better roster at Florida & didnt think Notre Dame would give him time to rebuild. But Meyer still says he loves Notre Dame.
Is Meyer worth it? Yes. 7 season at tOSU with an 83-9 (90.2%) record & 1 NC there, 3 NC's total.
Any thoughts where he might land? I know I'm probably missing a couple of big name schools.
