In case you haven't noticed, college coaches don't win many games in the NFL.

Pete Carroll, Tom Coughlin, Jimmy Jonhson, Jim Haurbaugh, Bill O'Brien, Don Coryell, Dick Vermeil, Bill Walsh...


I think you get my drift. Good coaches either come from the NFL or college. They gotta come from somewhere. Who ever started that myth was sadly mistaken. There are more but I think my point was made.

I was thinking of Nick Saban, Steve Spurrier, and Greg Schiano. Pete Carroll was bad in the NFL on his first try.

MIssJagsFanatic, Pete Carrol was a college coach that's done pretty good in the NFL.. Tom Coughlin was a college coach that did pretty well in the NFL... Jimmy Johnson was a college coach that did pretty well in the NFL.... ... Really... you're going to go with "college coaches don't win many games in the NFL"... you have lost your mind. Most NFL coaches were college coaches... lol

Most NFL head coaches were assistants at that level first. They go from college HC to NFL assistant more often than not.

You're just validating your ignorance.

I kinda hate myself for even responding to you, so let me state that my post here is done in an effort to provide information to the masses and not actually directed at you. I just need to quote you in order to give a sense of direction for the post.

 

All that being said, College Head Coaches becoming NFL Assistants a majority of the time is patently false. As was stated above, Coughlin, Carroll and Johnson all came direct to an NFL Head Coaching position. In addition, Kelly (an aberration to be sure since he had zero NFL experience prior to being hired), Spurrier, Saban, Marrone, simply to name a few came direct from NCAA HC positions.

 

While there are examples of NCAA Headers leaving to become assistants, Brian Van Gorder immediately comes to mind, it's a rare thing.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

Don't bother with the shower. It doesn't wash off.

What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

Unfortunately for Les, his time came. LSU won't settle for just being good, they demand excellence and so should we.


Just like us, LSU has so much talent yet they underachieve (lately at least).

Many people thought his time came last year. When LSU decided to retain him, his hot seat cooled off, but not as much as I thought.

 

I can't argue about talent without watching more than one  LSU game each year, but it seems to be Fournette and "everyone else."

I think Les Miles is an awesome name for owning a used car dealership.
