Houston head coach Tom Herman went on The Dan Patrick Show and had an opinion about who would win a fight between Urban Meyer and Jim Harbaugh.
If Jim Harbaugh fought Urban Meyer, who would win?

In the interest in full disclosure: Herman was offensive coordinator at Ohio State under Meyer from 2012 to 2014. Perhaps Herman has seen Meyer engage in fisticuffs in some form or fashion while in Columbus. Perhaps he’s scared Meyer will turn up in Houston in the dead of night with intentions to throw down. We don’t know.
In the bizarre and highly coveted world in which the two actually did squabble, we imagine this fight will most likely start over dueling opinions on milk. A couple weeks ago, Harbaugh went on Patrick’s show and strongly disagreed with Meyer’s alleged opinion on the white stuff.
So what would happen if Harbaugh and Meyer actually got into it? Let’s discuss.
Richard: Meyer kinda scares me. I understand you don’t fight someone who’s unpredictable, and Harbaugh embodies that, but I don’t particularly want to get into it with Meyer’s laser-focused personality either. Once this thing starts, Meyer isn’t interested in anything but your complete destruction. He would plan extensively, figure out Harbaugh’s weakness, and come prepared. Harbaugh’s raw rage will be tough to channel into a conducive fight plan. Meyer would be ready.
Bud Elliott: Harbaugh for me. He has dadbod going on, but he’s a big-framed dude.
Jason Kirk: I got Urban. Harbaugh would just flail. A long fight would favor the human can of Red Bull over Meyer, but I’m counting on Harbaugh sprawling out of position and getting caught with a precise strike right away. If Meyer gets Harbaugh in a submission hold, we’re gonna have to wait a while, because he’ll pass out before he taps.
Matt Brown: I’d bet on Harbaugh.
Morgan Moriarty: Same.
Steven Godfrey: The measurables all seem to favor Harbaugh — ex-NFL, still physically active after the age of 50, erratic behavior — but if the fight is planned and not impromptu, I think I’ll take Meyer. It’s pure Lex Luthor theory: give the smarter man enough time, and he’ll foil the stronger man every time. Bar fight at AFCA? Jim. Flagpole after recess? Meyer will shank him right in the same spot as an old-playing-days injury.
If it came down to a fracas between the two coaches, who do you think would win? By all means, inform us in the comments.
