Except that coaches like Jimmy Johnson, Bill Walsh, Tom Coughlin, and (now) Jim Harbaugh make the reward very high for going that route. The fanbase likes it because the coach has a pedigree of success, and the reward is commiserate with the risk if you find the next Bill Walsh. Most coaches have some college experience as well. Mike Tomlin as late as 1999 was coaching in college.

JJ was 20 years ago.
walsh was an NFL guy who went to college for 2 years. and he joined the NFL again in 1979. he was an NFL coach from 1968 until 1977. he was a pro coach who spent 2 years as HC of stanford
coughlin was an NFL coach from 1984 to 1990. then he was HC at BC for a couple years, and went back to the NFL
harbaugh looks pretty legit. his coaching career is a bit non-traditional. also he was only in college for like 5 years. his entire career in coaching is really weird and an outlier in any argument. he's certainly not a college "lifer" though
even with saban's NFL background, he had spent a long time in college at MSU and LSU before going back to the NFL. miles was a positional coach in the NFL for like 2 years. other than that, he's been a college coach. he's a "lifer." this isn't a criticism of miles. just stating facts
the 2 games have gone away from each other in the past 10-15 years.
