Just a dose of reality of what we are losing: Meyer's win percentage is at .851 which equals 4th place all time for D1/FBS...only Knute Rockne, Frank Leahy, both of Notre Dame, and Doyt Perry of Bowling Green had a higher win pct.
Of current coaches #2 is Chris Petersen, and he sits well behind at .816. (Stats are through 2017.)
Some added perspective: Bob Stoops .798, Bear Bryant .780; Nick Saban .778; Bo Schembechler .775; Dabo Swinney .771; Woody Hayes .759.
I'm excited that we have what looks to be as solid a replacement as we can find in Ryan Day, but Meyer is irreplaceable.
Urban Meyer is a coaching legend and should be ranked above any current coach, as he's won everywhere he's been.
