It depends on what important. OSU has fired every single head coach since 1950 and that one resigned because he said the pressure to win was too much. If winning is all that matters than yes John Calipari is the man you want to be molding the young men representing your school. Or in that case any Ohio State coach that will win a ton games before getting fired.
He had one good year at stanford . Time has demonstrated that Shaw and the assistants that stayed played as much if not more of a role in stanford ascending. Super bowls dont mean squat in college . In college harbough is a third place coach that has never won anything and has never stayed in one play to prove he can develop players year over year. My money is hes gone one way or another after this years third place finish.
except you on sept 2nd...enjoy another 3rd or 4th place finish in your division.
You have it turned around. What happens in college has no relevance to the NFL. That is why people like Saban bravely run away back to college.
not me.those folks aren't very realistic to start with.
no, its the same both ways. few have been able to do it successfully at both levels. apples and oranges. some guys are cut out for the college game like coach is. some guys are better suited for the nfl. can't imagine bill belichick embracing recruiting. the dynamics of the jobs are very different.
disagree. i've known coach saban since i was 17 and consider him a mentor and good friend. he's a sweetheart in my book.
The difference between college and pro is the higher up the pecking order you are the more likely you get to choose who will play for you and as much of it as you have scholarships. In the NFL it is an equal playing field and if you are not in line with your GM you might not even have much of a say. If a coach can relate to kids or has whatever charisma is needed to attract them or better yet go to a school that is properly branded, recruiting is half of the battle. I will go out on a limb and state that if Saban wanted to disappear for the year of 2018 and asked echowaker to jump in his head for the year, that with the rest of the staffs complicity Alabama still wins 10 games in 2018 minimum. The only game echowaker might lose if given Alabama is Auburn.
How’s NDs win percentage against OSU? Has it ever been competitive?
But his .718 % comes by playing in the Big Ten, which is the most over rated conference of the power 5 teams.
appreciate the vote of confidence. coach is my mentor but he is the reason alabama has been so successful. how were they before he arrived.? yes he gets great players but why do you think they are going there ? the great curriculum ? ridiculous to think you could just plug and coach anyone there. dumb. saban has created and ingrained the culture there.
He didnt ask about kelly. Osu is not an annual rival that nd is expected to compete with annually. Harbaugh hasnt beaten any if his in division rivals since arriving at meatchicken. The skunkbears have feasted on the crappy bottom half of the conference. Hes great for a quick boost to recruiting but has shown nothing in college to justify the love he gets. 1 good year at stanford is it.
Kelly has achieved way, way more as a college coach and it isn't even close.
apparently you missed my reference of " college coach ". for the record losing is losing . almost winning ? hanging your hat on that ? i almost dated Jennifer Aniston once too. if she would have only responded. sigh.
Lol. Not for a college coach. Has nothing to do with recruiting, player development, etc. Done with you . Welcome to block list.
fine, then open it open to high school and pop warner too. i guess you compare podiatrists to cardiologists too. it's all medicine right ?
Gotta say that it's hard to take any of your posts as credible when you cite an organization that has been disbanded for a while now. Google is your friend.The NFL and the BCS hire head coaches from one another all the time.
On the other hand, only Notre Dame hires a high school coach to be their head coach.
