Should high profile coaches stay or go?


Schiano
Spurrier
Saban
Petrino
Carroll (first time around)
Kiffin
Jim mora (I think he was in college before)

All these so called great college coaches failed in the nfl.

It depends on the coach. Some coaches are better fit for the college game. Others are successful in the NFL.

College-kids on scholarship that listen to the coach and must follow rules (cough-cough)

Nfl-over paid kids that don't listen, put themselves above the team, selfish, and generally don't care.


I would much rather be a college coach.

I don't disagree. I can't stand the NFL, but the recruiting game is not for everybody.

are you kidding me? the vast majority of nfl players are real pros and know they can get cut and their career go south if they don't play up to the highest level. sure, there are some super stars that put themselves above the team but they are generally traded away.

Mora did go to the NFCCG.

His problem was that he had Vick. Vick is a coach killer

Carroll, Kiffin, and Mora really don't belong on this list.

It's simply harder to win in the NFL.

No its not. You just have less control

Also Mora and Carroll were long time NFL defensive coaches before they got promoted to head coach

more parity

it's easy to win when you get a top 5 recruiting class every year

not so much when you only get 7 draft picks and have to pick up scraps to fill the rest of your roster

Really depends on the coach and the front office.
