Chip Kelly? Really?
I'll give you Harbaugh, like I said, my memory is not perfect. I did mention Carroll and as for Coughlin, I think it took him a while, but he had a bunch of NFL experience prior to being named a HC.
As for the gap between the college game and the pro game, I think you are short selling that. I believe it to be huge. Just look at the roster difference. Player availability, practice limitations, and contract issues. Those are just the beginning of a list of major differences.[/QUOTE

Well Sounds like you are always right, but to counter one thing and then you can continue being right some more.
Not "short selling" anything, sure there is a wide gap between college and the NFL in the macro for most players and most programs but not between the NFL and draft caliber players who come out these days from the top 25 schools and BTW what does contract issues have to do with the quality of talent coming out of college to the NFL?. Since you didn't care for Chip Kelly and ok he is one you either understand or you don't, I'll throw out a couple more for you, Bobby Ross, Barry Switzer, Steve Mariucci, Don Coryell, Dick Vermeil. There are many more, yes there are many who failed but your argument that we shouldn't hire Meyer because he is coming right out of college and cant compete doesn't hold up.
BTW, regardless of our difference on this subject we do have something in common, Thank You For Your Service!
