don't recall Osborne, Bryant, Paterno, Bowden ever having designs on NFL
I am sure they were all offered at some point.
The story goes that Bryant was offered the Miami job in the late 60's....Bear was in a bit of a slump between his dynasties and very nearly took it....they ended up hiring some guy named Shula.

Long time ago but it seems I remember hearing that when Bear had that dip there were some that wanted him gone. Fortunately, for UA, there was a better sense of 'through thick and thin' back then (in general) than there is today.
