There are many examples of college HCs who had a chance to go to the NFL
I don't recall Osborne, Bryant, Paterno, Bowden ever having designs on NFL. Not sure if they were offered but during their hayday I'd imagine they could have stepped up. Nowadays college HC's are paid much better than back then. I guess it'll depend on what makes Sumlin tick. If he enjoys working with young men, being a role model and positive influence to them maybe he'll stay forever.

But Jerry Jones can pay more than any college. Not to mention, if Romo continues to be Romo, Jones would love to draft JFF.
My opinion is, Dallas goes looking for a new coach(Sumlin) as soon as JFF declares for the 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.
