I think he especially had the weaker team in 1994. The guins had more depth though. Just such different styles of ball, you knew that one was going to dominate the other & I honestly thought it was going to be Boise State. The shoe was on the other foot for coach T in 2006 & 1999.
Not to turn this into an OSU thread, as we can take it to the non_YSU threads if people want to; but as to who is the better coach ...I think Tressel is so far above Meyer it is not even worth the conversation ...and ask anyone here ...I was far from a Tressel fan at YSU. After he changed our style of offense to a "buckeye preview pro-set" back in 1998 (really it began back in 1995) ...I was happy to see him go. So sayng he is better than Meyer is not me being a "blind Tressel-lover". You cannot judge a coach by the letters (X's & O's ...W's and L's); if you did, Wolf would still be here. Right now the Buckeyes have ZERO personality (on or off the field) and that is a direct reflection on the coach. Meyer is the worst hire OSU could have ever made & you knew he was coming from day-1. For those of you that are history buffs, imagine Rommel taking over the British-3rd or US-5th army in WWII. Traitorous is the only way to describe that or Meyer's choice at OSU & it does not matter if he wins 8 big-10 titles and 6 national championships in a 10-year career in Columbus ...Meyer will still be the best coach in U of F history, crushing the big-10 at every opportunity ...and that will be his top-accomplishment. His best accomplishments at OSU can only be an expected continuation of the same; giving SEC fans the opportunity to say "I told you so" & "it took an SEC man" to turn the Big-10 around. In reality ...2 former Penguin coaches have done the most to turn the big-10 around. Tressel and Dantonio.
