I am not sure you are being fair to Charlie Pell. You have to remember the
time and context. Charlie Pell did what most all coaches did back then. He
had the misfortune of having the NCAA decide that college sports needed to
be cleaned up and Pell and Florida was made an example. I know first h
Well said, Jong.

Don't forget to mention, Helen, that Meyer has yet to 'name' anything on campus
or personally kick a game-winning field goal against one of our most
historically evil rivals. Can he win our first SEC Championship or National
Championship? I think not.

That's an excellent point and well taken. He was probably the champ program

after Charlie got caught. :-)

Charley Pell as one of the greatest program builders? Sure, I'm on
board with that. He built Clemson into a national champion, and UF
into a should-have-been national champion.

I disagree. I think SOS vs. anyone should go to SOS. IMO, he's the best
coach in the history of college football, but you've heard that from me
before.

Not sure thats a fair comparison. Typically for a logical comparison it
would need to be within a 10 yr timeframe... competition then is
significantly different (better?) than it is now. Personel is very
different. etc. Not fair to Spurrier or Meyer to compare records.

Spurrier had 3 out of 11 seasons with 3 or 4 losses (27%)
Meyer is having his third out of 6 seasons (50%)
Meyer's record is more like the guy who either hits a home run or strikes
out--50% of the time it's a one-loss season and 50% it's a 3 or more loss
season.

I still give the edge to Spurrier, who created a winning tradition. Meyer
