until you can provide some names of coaches who were HC's in NFL and college and had a worse winning % in college, there is nothing to talk about and it remains..
a myth <=== 'because' I can name numerous guys who coached at both levels and had higher winning % in college.

- Agree. The success rate of NFL coaches that move to college, as well as vice versa, is fairly low [NT]
- Irish_Demon - 8:44pm 11/15/16

- I don't agree with that.. - Chrisb - 5:54pm 11/16/16
- CHARLIE WEIS. That's one example enough. That said, I'd hire Bill O'Brien given his college record [NT]
- NY3 - 2:12pm 11/16/16
