Meyer is a great coach, but you have to question his physical ability to deal with the stress, which is considerably higher in the NFL. Most big-time college coaches get to have some semblance of a life even during the season, but that's not true at the NFL level. Trevor Lawrence or not, that's going to be a decent sized rebuilding job also.

I'm not sure I would agree with that, and would argue it's almost the opposite. During the season coaching is a 7 day/week affair. In the NFL once the season is over there is some downtime and life returns somewhat to normal (there is still the usual stuff but not as much dealing and working with the players). Not so in college. You are almost always recruiting and that just ramps up once the season is over. Plus working with the players during spring ball etc. College coaching is much more involved in the players lives than the NFL is and that is a year round duty.
But I do agree that Meyer would not necessarily be a guaranteed success in the NFL. The two games (college vs NFL) are so completely different and you need different skillsets to succeed in each environment.
