The one thing I would say about a Meyer hire (pun intended) is that I don't believe Meyer would accept the puppet strings. But I do worry about his health. I still don't understand him walking away from OSU with a loaded cupboard if he planned to coach again.
He wanted to step away from the constant criticism and questioning he would have received over the Zack Smith domestic assault incident. Besides, I believe had he not stepped away, he was going to be fired because it was discovered he lied (or threw his wife under the bus). He had too much negative PR around him to stay at OSU.
I'll reserve judgment on the moral part of his legacy, but I think the health issues, while real, weren't really that significant to whether he stepped away. I think he uses it as an excuse. If they were REALLY significant, he wouldn't be courting the Cowboys or USC for that matter (before the Cowboys stepped into the picture).
About the only place he was going to go on the college level was USC or Notre Dame. But the Cowboys … we'll they're legendary.
