This is my issue. I'm sure there are guys out there who know how to win more games than the other guy. I just don't think they're as readily available as you think. Nor do I believe that success in college means they will have success in the NFL.
Like Lou said, it's different.
Readily available as I think???? I have listed 3 Head Coaches and 2 GMs. By my definition that is very limited. My perception of highly successful college coaches transitioning to the NFL with any degree of success is based on whether they have full and complete control. In the case of Spurrier and Saban, they did NOT. Saban has said that if he had been allowed to sign Brees he might still be the head coach of the Miami Dolphins. In the case of Carroll and Johnson they did and it worked out rather well. Well until Jerah rescinded Johnson's full and complete control anyways. And we all know what happened after that.
