I don't understand the big advantage of hiring a NFL coach who was fired from his last job as coach because he can give you a better chance to win then hiring Meyer one of the most successful coaches in college.
 football. Isn't that what we have been doing for the last 10 years and what has that gotten us a non playoff team year after year. Myer has already established a culture of winning now that all the players rookies and veterans have not only bought into but are voicing their opinion of how excited they are about this season and their respect for their head coach and coaching staff. I can't remember a coach that established a culture that resulted in the entire team expressing such a positive outlook on the up coming season, can you? They already understand that he is providing them every venue needed diet, training, medical and rehabilitation procedures to insure their fitness and health and in return he expects not a 100% from players but 110% on every play. What more could you expect from a coach at this point in training camp. As a whole he has had a very successful free agency and draft.  For the Cam haters I think we have Little and Batch to fall back on if he does not meet expectations. For the Tebow haters hiring one player you don't agree with erases all the positives Meyer has brought to the team. We are entering a new era of winning football and you can't climb on the bandwagon  and support the team you love until there is reason to jump off.

I don't mind the gamble on a college coach and I don't mind an effort to break the cycle of recycled NFL coaches and promoted coordinators. 

I do have to point out something that always sticks in my craw in these situations, though. 
All of this "he's a winner"
"all he does is win"
"building a winning culture" 
"surrounding himself with winners" 

That stuff is just complete and utter horse [BLEEP] to me until they actually win football games. 
How the heck can you have a winning culture devoid of wins?  It's just talk. 
Improve the facilities, the nutrition, add coaches and players that have been in winning programs all you want. 
Those are all good things.  But there is no winning culture until you win games IMO. 

If they make all those improvements and start the season 1-5 - come back to me and let me know what the culture is in that locker room. We've seen that play out before.
