While Saban is currently the best coach in the land and has built a dynasty at Alabama in the country's strongest conference, I wouldn't be surprised now if Meyer surpasses him at some point, and some point soon. When Meyer first went to OSU I thought he was a shell of a coach of the guy he was at Florida and was going to finish his career at Ohio St on cruise control. He has obviously proved that wrong with pulling off 3 12+ win seasons and winning the first college football playoff. All while beating his nemesis and the SEC's top team, with his 3rd string QB.
Next year will be the key though. It was 2009 that did him in when all the eyes were on him and he was expected to win. That is the pressure that ate him up inside and turned him into a 9 year girl. It sucked the joy of winning out of it for him and made him quit, twice. If he can survive it now and still be the coach he was this year, then year he can turn Ohio St into a dynasty. It would be in the hardest period college football history, the playoff age.
