If Meyer seemed beaten down at the press conference, it might have had
something to do with Shelly. I am sure she had her heart set on having him

She might have kicked his butt when he told her he had reconsidered.

NO, but Strong is gone. Can't blame Strong - he wants to know if he can make it as a head coach - so he needs go try.
You can either pull a top DC from another school OR get a great head coach that is also a great DC - and see if he wants to step down to DC. Sell them on - less stress / press
From the little bits I have read - I don't think it is something that can be fixed - like a clogged artery or something. I think he just needs to reduce his stress.
But how does He return to coaching - be the coach that got him to where he is - but not take losing so personally / stressful?
DC, can anyone be better than Strong, at least for now?

You may be right, but even if you are, this could be much better than a
