Fox Sports writer Pete Fiutak has a nice article on Brian Kelly possible being the new Urban Meyer without the dark side of Meyer
"Like all top coaches, Kelly is a taskmaster who can occasionally act like he’s curing cancer. But unlike Meyer, Stoops or especially Weis, he’s missing the jerk chromosome that’s considered endearing when the coach is winning big (see Nick Saban), but offers little to no margin for error when things go wrong (see Weis)."
Fiutak goes on to say, "Kelly is on a career arc that’s strangely similar to Meyer’s, and Irish fans are hoping for the same type of apex. Both were innovators at their respective MAC schools (Meyer at Bowling Green, Kelly at Central Michigan), both took mid-level programs to a perfect regular seasons and a BCS game by making superstars out of moderately talented quarterbacks (Meyer at Utah, Kelly at Cincinnati) and both entered situations with shelves stocked with talent. Meyer was able to win a national title early on at Florida with Ron Zook’s players, and Kelly might be able to do big things immediately with the talent Weis brought in.
All in all I thought it to be a pretty fair article.
I tried to add the link, not sure if it worked, sorry.
