I'm so jealous. I wanted Meyer to come here. The guy has been a winner at every single program he's coached at. Even at Bowling freakin Green
Yeah, why would Jerry want him? He’s more than happy with 8-8 or 9-7. He’s a doosh.

Back in Florida with a young quarterback who can run his style of offense, and no pressure to win immediately.

And no Jerry.

Win-win.
Yea, great move. And safe place for Urban. No pressure to win for awhile with greatest QB prospect coming out for probably a decade , maybe longer.

'Hawkeye' ...you're forgetting about Pete Carroll.
HC of Seattle Seahawks = Super Bowl XLVIII Champions --AND-- they should have gotten back-to-back NFL titles.
Since the 2010 season--Carroll's first as HC- Seattle has made the playoffs 9 --NINE - of the 11 seasons he has been at the helm.
Seven NFC West titles
Seven NFC Divisional round games
Two NFC Championships

But even more so to his success as a great coach:
Failed on his first two forays in the NFL as HC - Jets, Patriots.
But- how does the phrase goes: "Third time's a charm"

Nope, not at all......Carroll was an NFL former HC, left for USC and returned to NFL as Seahawks coach.

The question in focus is a college with NO prior NFL experience ......Chip Kelly, Steve Spurrier., Jimmy Johnson, and now Urban Meyers.

Urban and Jimmy are more "leadership" and "culture" guys. That translates.

Urban also has a history of turning programs around and found success each time.

Spurrier and Kelly were more "scheme" and "style"

Paul Brown, Tom Coughlin, and Dick Vermeil were all college guys who found NFL success.

With Paul Brown you are correct......Vermeil and Coughlin had previous NFL experience before returning to college coaching and back to the NFL ( many have taken this route).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Vermeil
Vermeil shares the distinction of being hired as one of the NFL's first special teams coaches with Hall of Fame Coach Marv Levy.[3] Vermeil was hired by George Allen's Los Angeles Rams in 1969 the same year Levy was hired by Jerry Williams, then Head Coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. Except for 1970, when Vermeil was an assistant coach with UCLA, he would remain with the Rams until 1974 when he was named as head coach by UCLA.\

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Coughlin
Coaching career[edit]
Coughlin's first head coaching job was at the Rochester Institute of Technology from 1970 to 1973. He then returned to his alma mater where he was eventually promoted to offensive coordinator, a position he also held at Boston College where he coached Doug Flutie. He returned to the staff after his stint at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Coughlin's second stint started in 1974, and ended in 1980. He left the collegiate level to become a wide receivers coach in the NFL for the Philadelphia Eagles, and later the Green Bay Packers and New York Giants.

While at New York, he was an assistant to Bill Parcells, and helped the Giants win Super Bowl XXV. Coughlin and Parcells have both made the NFL playoffs five times as Giants head coach, and the two Super Bowl titles they each have won with the Giants have occurred in their fourth and eighth seasons with the franchise, respectively.[5]

Boston College (1991−1993)[edit]
After the 1990 season, Coughlin returned to Boston College to take on his second job as a head coach. In three seasons at Boston College, he turned the program into a consistent winner. Coughlin's tenure was capped with a 41–39 victory over #1 ranked Notre Dame in 1993, the first time Boston College defeated Notre Dame.
