But if the end game is to win a Super Bowl, candi- dates applying for NFL head-coaching vacancies may want to downplay their college resumes. As 3hiladelphia¶s ¿ring of &hip Kelly reminded us again, past successes are no guar- antee of future prosperity — at least in the pros. &oaches with designs of stepping up have their patron saints, to be sure. Four have won championships at both levels 3ete &arroll Seattle Seahawks and Southern &alifornia Barry Swit]er Dallas &owboys and Oklahoma -immy -ohnson Dallas &owboys and 0iami and 3aul Brown &leveland Browns and Ohio State. Several more, most notably Bill Walsh and 7om &oughlin, were very good in college but even better in the pros. But much longer is the list of those who clobbered the competition in college but left the NFL with tails tucked between their legs. 7here¶s three-time in a -year span national championship winner Nick Saban, who was 15-17 in the NFL and desperate enough to depart the Miami Dolphins that he lied several times about chasing the Alabama job he eventually latched onto. Then there’s Steve Spurrier, Dennis Erickson, Lou +olt], Butch Davis, Bobby Petrino, Rich Brooks, Frank Kush and even Oklahoma Sooner legend Bud Wilkinson, whose Àirtation with the NFL was fairly typical. After amassing three national championships and a 47-game winning streak a record that still stands, Wilkinson came out of retirement for the St. Louis &ardinals job, went -20 over parts of two seasons and quit with three games remaining in his third. The reasons for the failures are varied. Most college coaches hired by the NFL begin with bad teams and impatient owners. Some never adjust to the different schemes, much-faster pace of play, or the differences required to motivate high- ly-paid pros instead of kids dependent on scholarships. Here’s a quick look at some of the memorable successes and failures: ——— THE A&&,DENTAL &OA&H After an acrimonious split with -immy -ohnson, who won two Super Bowls in Dallas, owner -erry -ones essentially introduced Barry Swit]er as one of ³500 coaches who could have won the Super Bowl with our team.” He was right, since Swit]er did just that with the 15 &owboys, though it was still -ohnson’s team through and through. Swit]er dominated the college game, but was so overmatched in the NFL that some &owboys players referred to him as ³Bo]o the &oach.” Swit]er went 10-6 after his champion- ship season and then 6-10, leaving -ones to search for the 4 other coaches he passed over the last time. DON’T LET THE DOOR H,T <O8 ON THE WA< O8T Bobby Petrino tends to leave a mess wherever he lands. After success at lowly Louisville and later Arkansas and Western Kentucky, he couldn’t even last a season with the Atlanta Falcons. After a 3-10 start there, and a locker-room mutiny gaining steam, Petrino bailed on the NFL and let his team in on the news by posting a note in the locker room. ³That’s not how a man acts,” -oey Harrington, the quarterback whom Petrino benched, said at the time of his departure. ³That’s how a coward acts.” Or maybe just somebody who’s in a hurry to get out of town. ,F AT F,RST <O8 DON’T S8&&EED ... Anyone who watched Dennis Erickson coach ‘em up in college could be forgiven for thinking his 40-56 pro record was a typo. He turned around programs at ,daho and Oregon State and won two national titles at Miami. That may explain why two NFL owners gave him jobs Seattle from 15- and San Francisco, 2003-04. The good news is that Erickson ¿nally recog- ni]ed his ceiling, returning to the college ranks both times and a third time after a brief retirement.
