re: If Miles is such a great coach, then why isn't the NFL calling?

There's been some interest in him as an NFL coach.

"He's the most intriguing coaching prospect I've seen in a long time," said one team executive. "I think he has a great deal of talent and can deal with the modern athlete."

And that is what I've heard repeatedly about Miles from team executives. Their belief is that Miles is, as one told me, the next Jimmy Johnson in terms of knowing how to coach the 21st-century player. Take that comparison as you like, but to me there's no bigger compliment since Johnson deftly handled a Cowboys locker room full of gigantic egos.

Also not every successful college coach is considered a fit in the NFL. Urban Meyer has never been pursued by the NFL, is he a bad coach?
