Quote:not to say it will be the case, but how many college coaches come to the NFL, expecting their style to work and finds out it's not as easy? (ex: SPURRIER???) 

Thats what I thought when he was an NFL coach coming to penn state, I thought it was going to be a disaster. But in this case O'Brien was an NFL coordinator at NE before and only spent 2 years in the college game before returning to said NFL so his system at least works for the Patriots. He was always an NFL kinda guy, only took the job to prove he could be a head coach. That said I fully expect OB to have some major melt downs with the media. OB doesn't like when his judgments are questioned and if our local media in State College could get on his nerves it will be amusing to see how he handles Houston's wrath at the first bump in the road.
