As a Gator fan, last year opened up my eyes. Meyer had JOHN BRANTLEY running the option, having him split time at QB along with a backup TE (Reed) and an "athlete" (Burton) that had no business taking snaps, while running the most predictable and ineffective offense in the conference, allowing his buddy Steve Addazio to continue calling the plays with his dive/dive/sack/punt bullshit, and so on. Meyer knew he would be leaving, so he didn't bother firing his buddy even though Addazio had no business coaching anything but the offensive line (which he also sucked at). Meyer gave up last year, and a terrible season was the result. He should have stayed retired. Thank God for Will Muschamp.
As far as OSU is concerned, I like Fickell but I have a feeling OSU will clean house in order to rid themselves of the "dirty program" label. Maybe I am wrong, it just seems they are trying to distance themselves from Tressel as much as possible, which doesn't bode well for the current staff. I wouldn't be surprised if Gene Smith gets the boot as well.
