Is that really an accurate statement? That coaches coming directly from college have a lower success rate than NFL coordinators? I mean there have been some notable failures like Spurrier, Chip Kelly, even Lou Holtz was back in the day realized the NFL wasn't for him and bolted................. but there were some pretty big successes as well such as Jimmy Johnson, Tom Coughlin...... Dennis Green had decent success in Minnesota after leaving Stanford. Mariucci had decent success with the 49ers after Cal. And then if you want to back further, there is Bill Walsh.
There have also been a CRAP TON of NFL coordinators who have fallen on their faces as well......... shoot, NE spits out coordinators that suck as HCs at an impressive rate - McDaniel, Crennel, Weis, etc.
It would be stupid for Jerry to close off college coaches because he thinks they fail at a higher rate than NFL coordinators.
