One coach just lost by 29 points to an unranked team. The other just snapped a two-game losing streak.

Both appear to be trending the wrong way.

Paul Finebaum was asked Monday if it was a fair to question who stays longer: Auburn’s Gus Malzahn or Ohio State’s Urban Meyer.

Auburn defeated Ole Miss 31-16, while then-No. 2 Ohio State fell to unranked Purdue 49-20.

“It is a fair question and I think I’d go with Gus Malzahn,” Finebaum said on his weekly appearance on The Roundtable on WJOX 94.5 in Birmingham.

"I’ve been suggesting that Urban Meyer has been done for a while because based on the bad marriage and based on body language, and admission by him that he is still struggling with some health issues. Saturday night, he looked like the saddest man in America, and he probably was.”

Finebaum pulled from Meyer’s past experiences at Florida.

“When you think about the potential of that program and that team, and where they are right now, it’s pretty scary,” Finebaum said. “I just don’t think Urban Meyer has the makeup to deal with much more adversity. I know it’s an easy thing to say, look at what happened in Florida, but it’s a precedent, and I think that’s who Urban Meyer is. When things get tough, he runs away and quits.”
