I'd bet nobody knew who the hell Coughlin was prior to his initial hiring.

My initial concern was the complete lack of NFL experience, but Meyer seems intelligent and disciplined enough to pull it off. 

The other concern is his tendency to abruptly quit, usually under scandal. However, to his credit he doesn’t leave the cupboards bare. 

My expectation at this point is he lasts no longer than five years but builds a decent degree of success for the franchise.

I've come to believe that the success (or lack thereof) of a team has way more to do these days with the QB than with the head coach. This hasn't always been the case but it is now. Of course they're both important but if Lawrence is as good as people are projecting then the team will likely be successful. The thing about Meyer is he's pretty famous for his ability to recognize talent, his attention to detail and his demand for excellence. I think that bodes well even if the transition is initially rough.
