I absolutely agree with that. No one can convince me Herman would be at LSU for 10 years. He's too young. Why wouldn't he try out the nfl if they were to come a'callin'?

Jimbo is beyond that. He's a college coach.

Meyer was 41 and younger than Herman when he was hired by UF. Did he go to the NFL? I bet a lot of NFL teams had sent feelers to him in the past but he just didn't go. The same could be said of Bob Stoops, he was only 39 when he was hired by OU and he won 4 BCS bowls and one natty. Was he too young for you?

While no one can't predict the future but it is flatly wrong to say a young coach is more likely to go to the NFL. Fisher could coach for a long time but he could quit coaching fb next year due to family reason as he almost quit it earlier this year to be with his son who has a rare illness.
