Urban inherited a mess of an Ohio St team that went 6-6 the previous year and was facing NCAA sanctions including scholarship reduction and a bowl ban, all stemming from the Jim Tressel situation. Urban did NOT inherit some 10 win team. Urban took that team over and led them from 6-6 to 12-0. Had Ohio St not been bowl banned, they would have played Notre Dame in the national championship and would have most likely won that game. You can say whatever about him as a person, I won't disagree with you, Swinney is a genuinely nice guy, but Urban as a coach is all time great.

Urban doesn’t get any benefit of the doubt he just never loses really

This is true, but they went 12-1 in 2010 and were recruiting very well prior to the downturn in 2011. That 2011 season not withstanding, there was talent on that roster that Meyer was obviously able to take full advantage of in 2012.
