Kevin Faulk and Raymond are it I think
I know what Op means we don't have near the coaching tree like OU, Texas Tech, UGA, Bama etc thay are successful coaches elsewhere coming home.

quote:Exactly the situation with Michael Jordan. Terrible GM.
I remember an old management class that discussed high achievers usually make terrible managers because they neither understand nor can relate to those who do not perform at the manager’s level of productivity and immediately I thought of coaches / players.
I can think of very few people who have or can succeed both on the field and on the sideline

Saban went to Kent St, Urban Meyer went to Cincinnati. Who was most successful as a player and a coach, maybe Steve Spurrier who won the Heisman trophy?
I think it boils down to two things:
1. Most football players who have successful pro careers have no interest in coaching after they are through playing. They already have more than enough money and an established legacy. Peyton Manning could possibly be a great coach at any level, but he’s swimming in money and probably wants more family time at this point in his life.
2. I think how good of a coach a former player turns out to be often depends a lot on the source of their success as a player. If a player was successful primarily because he was a genetic freak (the Randy Moss or Shaq type) I would say he’s less likely to be a great coach. However, if a player was successful because of his smarts and intangibles (the Jerry Rice or Larry Bird type) he’s probably more likely to be a good coach.

Because typically smart players become coaches and LSU doesn't typically recruit smart players.
