Going with Urban here due to the stats and also fuck the Fighting Irish.

What stats exactly are you looking at? WP is Rockne. Both have 3 national championships. Meyer has more wins but played way more games in a season. Rockne also died in his prime
 
I voted for Urban Meyer because what he had done at his schools.

2002 Bowling Green (Meyer's 2nd and final season as BGSU's HC) - 8-3, 6-2 (MAC)
2001 Bowling Green (Meyer's 1st year as HC) - 8-3, 5-3
2000 Bowling Green - 2-9, 2-6
1999 Bowling Green - 5-6, 3-5
1998 Bowling Green - 5-6, 5-3
1997 Bowling Green - 3-8, 3-5
1996 Bowling Green - 4-7, 3-5

2004 Utah (Meyer's 2nd and final season as Utah's HC) - 12-0, 7-0 (MWC)
2003 Utah - 10-2, 6-1
2002 Utah - 5-8, 3-4
2001 Utah - 8-4, 4-3
2000 Utah - 4-7, 3-4
1999 Utah - 9-3, 5-2
1998 Utah - 7-4, 5-3

And in the 12 seasons he coached at big-name programs, his team finished Top 4 in AP rankings 7 times - which includes 3 NCs.

Sorry if 8 days later but the fact that Urban has played more is exactly that. He has played more and therefore won more. The only he lacks is WP. He has won more game, has same amount of natties, 7 conference titles, numerous coach of the year awards, hasn't played in just one bowl game, etc.
The only way you can say Rockne is through WP and his icon status, that's it.
