No way.
No way would I let him anywhere near Trevor Lawrence.
The man wrecks QBs.
Alex Smith took YEARS to unlearn all the bad habits that Meyer failed to correct.  
Tebow never did.
Haskins might never overcome it.
And to top it off he left his last two jobs suddenly, citing health concerns! Do we think the last two years have made him more healthy, or less?!
If we were just going to try to ressurect Haskins the way that Spurrier tried to ressurect Weurffel, I'd be down, but we have a QB with some real bona fides who deserves a real coach.
I guess I'd love to be proven wrong, but I'd probably stop following the Jags if they try to pair Meyer and Lawrence.
And I'm not smarter than anyone in the sports media, but unlike them I'm willing to say the emperor has no clothes.  Meyer might win a few games, but to me it's not worth following a team when they make decisions that are so clearly awful that even a layman like me says, "I could have done better."

One thing to consider is maybe he was able to design systems that made QBs appear better than they really were, making it so they struggled with a traditional offense. I’m not sure a guy who was able to turn average QBs into stars by exploiting their strengths in unique offensive systems is a bad thing? Just another way to look at it.
