Meyer had eye-popping success at every coaching stop.
Leach has had middle of the road results every year prior to this one at one coaching stop.
Apples vs. oranges.
So did Gerry Faust, but when you coach in lesser leagues, it doesn't necessarily prepare you for the big time. Had Meyer fell on his face, you guys would have lined up to blow each other and claim you called it first.
Problem is that there are several good coaches out there, but we do not trust our AD to choose a good one based on the things that an AD is supposed to know. Therefore we argue amongst ourselves as to who would be good. Some of us judge on what we see. Others on record. Others on personality. Who is right? Who is wrong?
There will probably be a couple of coaches before we forget CTT. UF had to go through Zook before they got Meyer. Will we even be able to pick that one guy that will make us get over it? Who knows.
