What do I win?

Lovie blows we'll see when we get a new GM that either Angelo was a sucky GM or Lovie was a sucky coach (maybe both are bad). My money is on Lovie being awful. The only adjustment he's ever made has been during the off season. Unless delegating = coaching... he's terrible.

This is also how Ozzie would ask for Shingo Takatsu.

I was called a meatball for wanting the Bears to hire Jim Harbaugh. Sometimes meatballs are right.

Harbaugh won at every place he coached, I don't think it was a big stretch to forsee him having success in the NFL.

I think people thought San Fran was just terrible, but it turned out that they just had a bad coach in Singletary who hadn't a clue what he was doing.

Many people here think that a college coach cant have success as an NFL head coach, which of course is completely ridiculous.

Not ridiculous. History hasn't been kind to college coaches that transition to the NFL since the 1994 introduction of the salary cap.

Coach. College Win % NFL Win %
Bobby Petrino .720 .231
Mike Riley .577 .292
Steve Spurrier .721 .375
Dennis Erickson .667 .417
Butch Davis .651 .414
Nick Saban .711 .469
Steve Mariucci .500 .518

It is ridiculous & illogical to assume that a coach who was successful in college will fail as a head coach in the NFL. I I'm sure there have been successful NFL head coaches who were also successful in college.

No NFL team is not going to consider a college head coach because he is a college head coach.

It's ridiculous to assume that Scorehead would give a rats ass about facts and figures presented to him except for the once instance that proves his point.

Carry on.

Seems like they should. There's been two succesful college coaches to transition to the NFL in 18 years.

A list of 7 guys who were head coaches in college who failed in the NFL is hardly an all inclusive list. You cant just pick the guys who were failures. Unless you research every guy who made this transition, just showing these 7 guys is meaningless.

Got the list from this article from 2010.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704500104574650561085073756.html

Since 1996, at least seven college head coaches have jumped straight to NFL head-coaching jobs, as USC's Pete Carroll is poised to do with Seattle; six of them have compiled losing NFL records. (This list doesn't include Jim Caldwell, the Indianapolis Colts coach and former Wake Forest boss, who spent eight years between the two jobs as an NFL assistant.)

NFL history isn't devoid of college coaches who successfully made the leap. It just has nearly stopped happening since the salary cap was instituted during the 1994 season, making roster management more complex.

Again, not saying its impossible. But to not consider it is stupid.
