If a coach is good enough to win a Super Bowl, he's more than good enough to win a national title, as long as he can recruit.
I've talked to a few people who have coached in both, and player management, parents, NCAA rules, blah blah are all very different. Obviously, recruiting would be good for the first couple of years, but past that, he'll have to prove himself in the league. I was just curious if he'd actually done that, because college and NFL don't always translate. Obviously, sometimes they do, but it's definitely not anything that's a foregone conclusion.

I agree, some guys fit better in NFL and some better in College. Of course, the pinnacle of any career is in the SEC.

First off, let me start by saying I don't think Gruden is coming to Arkansas.
I think Long has just let that rumor continue to help hide who he is really looking at.
But I've always thought Gruden was better suited for coaching in college.
He is a no-nonsense my way or the highway type coach when dealing with players, he is a high energy type coach and is very good at developing young players.---All the makings of a great Head Coach.
