Koetter sucked at Arizona State. What makes them think he'll do well in Tampa Bay?

When's the last time that a coach has failed and been fired from his last college job and ended up successful in the NFL? Maybe there's some examples, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.

I'll have to do more digging but all I can come up with is Bill Parcells, and he really doesn't fit at all. Had a 3-8 record in one year at Army before becoming a DC in the NFL

Bruce Arians. Not only was he fired as a college head coach at Temple, he was also fired as a college offensive coordinator at Alabama.
