It's not an accident that a lot of successful college coaches have completely flopped in the pros. They didn't stop being good coaches - it's a different skill set in the pros.

College you are the CEO, the main motivator, a teacher, therapist, etc. - a lot of hats. NFL coaches really just need to be good managers. Pro athletes don't have any patience for the micromanager types you get in college.

And I don't understand why NFL teams continue to think they can hire the up and coming college coach and it will magically work better for them. The best NFL coaches are guys that paid their dues and worked their way up through various assistant jobs. Matt LaFleur is a good current example.
There was a time where most NFL coaches came from college. Now it's more of a rare thing. They are different employment pools for the most part.

The NFL coaching pool is amazing. Guys fail at one spot and still are considered for the next job like that failure didn’t happen. Why do they recycle failed coaches so often and not go out looking for new candidates?

College does that in some ways too. You can fail massively as a head coach and get a great buy out, only to still get good money as an assistant somewhere else.

And a bunch of guys who are clearly riding the coat tails of generational players being credited for their success.
 
He should take an interview with them. Certainly doesn’t hurt anything and it may help him decide if the NFL game would ever be for him. Maybe it can also give an edge on the recruiting trail.

But it goes directly against his enjoyment of molding 18-23 year olds. You’ll get near zero of that in the NFL.
 
Time for this again

I don't want him to go anywhere, but if he feels now is the time and can get an NFL gig best of luck to him. Not sure that's the organization I'd choose, but he'd be a legend if he turned them around.

'To be honest with you, the thing about Aaron is how he disappears for months at a time to go sunburn different areas of his body or sleep in caves--I don't really know because he doesn't talk to any of the coaches--, and even though his throws are basically lobs, it's his lack of giving a **** about anything that really gives that kind of awful leadership that gets us to not even being remotely close to being the best version of ourselves.'


Yeah I'm just not seeing it.

The Jets don't seem to have the best culture. So would Woody bring in a "culture guy" to fix it?

No one is selling culture more than Matthew Allen Campbell currently.

Not sure anyone would want the Jets job unless they needed a paycheck or out of complete desperation.

Like it's either coach the Jets or be a power bottom in a grease film

It makes more sense in the pros. In college it’s all on you to make a good program. In the pros you are just coaching the roster you were givin. Sometimes coaches just have a crap roster and they take the blame. Bill Belecheck is a good example. College it’s your job to put everything together

The culture there is awful. Problem is, Woody is the culture. It's a circus. And CMC, nor any other coach, is going to change that. Hell, he had a 17 year old making decisions this season, and apparently nixed a trade for a good WR because his Madden rating wasn't high enough. The problems with the Jets start and end with Woody Johnson.
