What coach? I don't remember anyone saying they wanted a college head coach, but I also haven't been real active this year. I don't think any college coach should ever take over for an NFL team that went to the playoffs.
I argued with someone in another thread, but college coaches, even great college coaches fail in the NFL. Even the greatest college coach of all time failed in the NFL.
Jimmy Johnson (I am not counting Switzer because he was just the baby sitter for that team) is the only real success story in the modern NFL when it comes to true college head coaches successfully transitioning to the NFL.
Jimmy Johnson used his familiarity of elite college teams and their personnel, along with the multiple picks acquired in the worst trade in NFL history, to rebuild an old and aging roster into a young, fast, and talented roster.
