Any of you guys remember how great Nick Saban was in Miami?
What about how well Steve Spurrier did with the Redskins?
Obviously great college coaches don't always have what it takes to succeed as an NFL coach.
Less obvious, but equally true, is that great NFL coaches may not succeed at the college level.
College has all the same gameplanning as the NFL, but with less practice time, with less mentally mature players, and oh by the way you have to recruit all of your players.
You say Jim Harbaugh has gotten a good share of top rated recruits - I say that no one knows who the top high school recruits are. They give those star ratings based on interest from Power 5 teams, the Power 5 teams don't budge based on the ratings. All it means when you get a 4-star or 5-star kid was that other teams were interested in the kid and he chose you. It has little to do with if the kid is any good.

If Jim Harbaugh is fired at Michigan, he absolutely will get another shot in the NFL. And I'd have no complaint about it being with the Jags.
