Obviously there are some clear cut cases like Chip Kelly. But Jim Caldwell was the head coach at Wake Forest. Nick Saban was the DC for the Cleveland Browns before becoming the HC at Michigan State.

It would be fun watching.

Kelly? Unless you get extra draft picks for paying Willie Lyles $200,000 for back issues of scouting magazines, I’m not sure his methods will translate.

I mean, why would a guy with a resume like his and the money he must have in the bank take a job like that if it wasn’t leading to something bigger?

Guess I was wrong- I haven’t heard his name floated as a candidate anywhere but the comments section of this website.

Strange.

Personnel decisions? Doesn’t seem that hard to do. Am I missing something? I do feel bad for coaches whose GMs supply the team with awful players and make it nearly impossible for those coaches to win even if they are great coaches. All the great coaches today have great players.

Because after Jim Caldwell, Dungy’s endorsements are at such a high value.

That gimmicky offense just won’t work, a la Spurrior.

No college coaches being mentioned for Head Coaches and apparently Steve Spagnoula is the only candidate for Defensive Coordinator although multiple teams need one.
