Pete Carroll was mediocre.

You just destroyed your own thread. PC is proof that 2 years is not enough time to judge an NFL coach. Or you could look at Belichick's first two years.

Maybe Rex Ryan? Though he may not qualify as mediocre as he's been to two afc championship games

Pete Carroll is mediocre? He's a college great and he's successful in the pros

Better question: what good HS coach is going to parlay his talented recruits into a coordinator in a major conference and then maximize his opportunity by coaching his team into an overachieving season for the ages?

I think Rex would be an outstanding college coach.

Gary Kubiak possibly

I love how people are trashing the OP for mentioning Carroll. Yet at the time he was hired by USC he was an average NFL coach. Some success but nothing to write home about.

I think Jack Del Rio would do well in college. Personality and a good defensive mind.

NOT Schwartz

Gary Kubiak would be an interesting hire for a college program

You're just as bad as those "trashing Carroll"

Del Rio has absolutely zero personality. He regurgitates coach speak on a weekly basis in a monotone manner and he's pretty damn average to below average at play calling on the defensive side of the ball. I lived in the northeast Florida region throughout his entire tenure and can only describe the guy as the definition of Meh. Once he lost his 2 mammoth tackles in jville his teams were pretty average to bad on defense.

He is the epitome of an nfl position coach.

I've said it multiple times, I think people only bring his name up because he still works out and looks like he can play. He gives off an impressive appearance bit there is absolutely no substance there.

To answer original OP question I think Rex Ryan would kill it in college.
