NFL written all over him huh? Based on? What? Cause you have this completely and totally erroneous view that great in college means you go to the NFL as a head coach?

FOUR NFL head coaches have been head coaches at a power five school in this century

31-20


That’s the combined record of those four coaches the year before they left for the NFL. Yeah, those coaches really blew the roof off. You know who was way better than .600 their last year before going to the NFL? Bobby Petrino was 12-1 in 2006 at Louisville .. before he went to Atlanta and didn’t last a full year
